What were they thinking of?

What were they thinking of?

(OP)
The Bad Brand names thread having been archived, I share this in a new thread.
(source: Maritime Advocate Online):

www.whorepresents.com
(a database for agencies to the rich and famous)

www.expertsexchange.com
(a knowledge base where programmers can exchange advice and views

The second of which raises anew the question of whether computer experts are engineers..... but only if your think either that engineers wouldn't name a web site in this way or that engineers don't have a sense of humour.

RE: What were they thinking of?

I have also come across these, it makes you wonder whether they ever viewed their own web page after designing it.

RE: What were they thinking of?

Their once was a website for an Italian generation company called www.powergenitalia.com.

RE: What were they thinking of?

(OP)
A google search for "powergenitalia" reveals some more of these and the probability that "www.powergenitalia.com (wouldn't it be ".it"?) is a spoof, but a good one.
Though not as good as the real thing, spoofs can be fun too!

RE: What were they thinking of?

If it was a spoof, it was a good one. The site, now gone, appeared to be that of a real company.

How about this one? www.earlychildhoodworkforce.com? About time the little parasites started earning their keep.
