I'm missing not watching any sports so I was searching the net for good deals on satellite tv. One url really stood out to me and not for a good reason. The name is simply three words compounded together. I guess no one noticed that this particular combination might cause customers to take their business elsewhere. Their logo uses color to emphasize the separation between the words. Unfortunately, the url in a browers or displayed in a search engine is missing the helpful color, so people only see:

http://dishonesatellite.com/

Don't take me wrong. The name is perfectly legitimate (just as I'm sure the business is)...my point is that the url can be parsed more than one way. It certainly caused a double-take when I first read it.
