Did you ever hear about the guy who posted deliberately misspelled website names so people misspelling them would go to them? He was recently prosecuted. Some of his most noteworthy creations include googgle.com and cartoonnetwork.com. (if I remember right)

Also, let's PLEASE get back on topic!!

Okay, who the hell created that googles.com site.

Here's the story behind the misspelled websites.

From PCworld.com:

Cartoonnetwok.com
No that's not a typo; it's "typosquatting," where a site owner deliberately registers a misspelling of a popular domain in the hopes of attracting the actual site's traffic. Cartoonnetwok was one of some 5500 deceptive domains owned by John Zuccarini, d/b/a/ "Cupcake Confidential." But that wasn't Zuccarini's only nasty bit of business. FTC investigators visiting one of his sites found their screens filled with 29 new browser windows for instant credit, online psychics, gambling, and porn sites. When they hit the Back button, another 7 windows opened–a technique known as "mousetrapping." Worse, many of Zuccarani's typosquatting sites were aimed at children. In 2003 Zuccarini pleaded guilty to violating the Truth in Domain Names Act and was sentenced to 2.5 years in the federal pen.
