Really Weird Shit

I got an email from Kate of Sweet and Salty today. It turns out she was having some difficulty finding me because of a little typo...

According to this website there is only one Missy McKerroll.

So why is this website using my name as its url?

And how do I make them stop?

Ideas?

It's creepy.

Update: Super Sleuth, Kate has discovered the answer. Apparently these people are willing to stoop to the level of pornographers to get traffic to their website. They've purchased the domain blogpsot dot com, so anyone who has a blogger url and makes a typo will end up at their website. Copy and paste. (Freakin' freaks... it's enough to bring on a case of tourettes.)

Jimm, I'd take an eggroll or a beer over that place anytime. Heh, heh, smelly old lady. Cute. I like that.

Jan and Jane, I said the exact same thing! But, meh, I guess they're harmless.

Wow, that's disconcerting. Everything you ever wanted to know about the Bible. Wow, I knew you were smart but now I'm really impressed.

LOL

Boy, no one ever turned my site into a porn cash cow. Bastards. Wait, we don't get a cut?

// case of tourettes //

I gotta ask..... is Tourettes a lager beer or an ale?

Missy said...

Geez, you crack me up.

Missy said...

I shoulda said youse guys.

Randal, just keep flashing that sexy picture of your wife and using juicy words and tags--that'll get the traffic up.

The sad thing is, there are people like this who have made themselves millionaires by monopolizing typos.

I made the mistake of letting jayandrewallen.com lapse in the last year. I don't think I'll ever get it back without trading in one of my kids.

Missy said...

Trading in one of the kids... (gazes into the distance)

You may be on to something there. I gotta think about this.

Randal Graves said...

Just one? I'd like to trade both.

seev said...

Well, mine are all grown up now, maybe thinking of trading me in? HAHAHAHAHAHA

Missy said...

:)
Naw, I seriously doubt that.

seev said...

Well, I don't know. Times are hard, and I might live another decade or so, so why not trade me in early? HAHAHAHAHAHA

At first I thought you meant you'd been linked to a porn site, then I saw there are worse things.
