Think Really Hard Before You Register That Domain Name

It seems like these days everyone has a domain name (.com .net .org .whatever). However, how much thought do you put into your new virtual home address? I think you would take careful consideration before laying down the cash to register that name for 1, 2, 5, or even 10 years! Although it seems that alot of people don't take nearly enough time and consideration before heading to GoDaddy.com and registering that domain name of their dreams. So for those of you that rush into things, let me just say that your haste makes waste...or rather you just made an ass out of yourself and it's going to loom in cyberspaces for years to come. Here's a list of some funny URLs where the designer and/or admin didn't think about how people would REALLY read the name of the site.

A little free advice to all of you out there looking to register a domain name, if you don't want to take a moment to consider how the rest of the world will interpret your URL, then I suggest you just take this easy blatantly obvious route. Just go and register www.imajackass.com (if it's not already taken) to get the humiliation over with. Say it loud. Say it proud. I'm a jackass and now the whole world will know it!
