Bring on the Night

Ever stopped in the middle of a good net surf wondering: How did I end up here? I thought I was reading news, and didn’t realise that I was in the market for adult diapers, or had an urge to learn more about women’s health issues. I hate pop-ups, purposely wrong named links and misleading URLs.

I suggest a wider range of domain extensions. So how about:

.fat (should be obligatory for those vacation galleries involving your average German tourist in swimwear)
.gay (could have used that one to warn me a couple of times, before clicking some misleading links ending up showing more man than I like)
.crap (some homepages really should be forced to use this by law)
.cry (yeah, I should’ve that one stuck to my domain, I know)
.womanstuff (essential for men not willing to waste invaluable surfing time on “relationship woes”, “heart2heart” and so on)
.man (The opposite – promising guaranteed success for boob sighting, fast cars, sports and beer advertisements in one click)
.sad (for people like me, who think other people read their blog)
.popup (warning the new guest that he/she is entering pop-up hell. Ever tried explaining to your better half that you were checking out news, when a huge xxx pop-up springs to life when you close the news page? Those days are over my friend)
.vthwwadiycwiveaitppyngatbu (“Visiting this homepage will without a doubt infect your computer with immortal virus eradicating all including the precious pictures you never got around to backing up”)
.mediawhore (suitable extension for Bigbrother, American Idol and similar shows)
.dumb (www.georgebush.dumb – just seems so natural, right? Oh man, don’t get me started on suitable subjects)
