Choose your URL's wisely! There are many cases of unintentionally offensive web addresses out there. The classic example of this is penisland.com (read: Pen Island).
Another crappy (pardon the pun!) URL:
publishit.com
Here's an interesting story involving a bad URL:
An employee at a software company was fired for visiting a particular website. Which site was it? Experts Exchange. But why? It seems like a legitimate site that one would go to in order to find help on various topics.
However, in the URL it was expertsexchange.com, which probably triggered some filter.
That issue's been corrected now and the site is now realized as experts-exchange.com.
