Try to open http://www.abcd.com in a browser. Using Firefox reveals the problem pretty quickly.

TRWTF is that Disney owns abcd.com. Did they think people would misspell abc?

Maybe it stands for ABC/Disney. Or they're just trying to cash in on the valuable bored-and-typing-whatever-comes-to-mind-into-the-browser market. Who owns asdf.com?

So does wget:

$ wget http://abcd.com
--2009-08-18 03:02:03-- http://abcd.com/
Resolving abcd.com... 199.181.132.250
Connecting to abcd.com|199.181.132.250|:80... connected.
HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 301 Moved Permanently

Resolving abc.go,com... failed: hostname nor servname provided, or not known.
wget: unable to resolve host address `abc.go,com'

Manually correcting the address in the browser takes you here: http://beta.abc.go.com/

So I guess ya gotta expect the odd typo in a beta...

I have noScript by default allow everything and only block the things I specify. I tried using it the recommended way, but the internet experience is so fucked like that. Every single site you visit for the first time you have to allow scripts or else you get a fucked up page. No thanks.

lolwtf

It's well worth not having to worry about nonsense like that.

Saw this on a baby shirt the other day, along with "i'Pood" and "my dad's a geek" I think I'll be getting all three soon ;-)
