Here's some fun for the whole family.

Lately, some mischief makers have been going around registering host records to include the names of their favorite corporations.  This results in their host records being spit out along with information on the corporation's domain.  Like this:

Whois Server Version 1.3 Domain names in the .com, .net, and .org domains can now be registered with many different competing registrars. Go to http://www.intenic.net for detailed information. MICROSOFT.COM.SHOULD.GIVE.UP.BECAUSE.LINUXISGOD.COM MICROSOFT.COM.SE.FAIT.HAXORIZER.PAR.TOUT.LE.ZOY.ORG MICROSOFT.COM.OWNED.BY.MAT.HACKSWARE.COM MICROSOFT.COM.N-AIME.BILL.QUE.QUAND.IL.N-EST.PAS.NU MICROSOFT.COM.MUST.STOP.TAKEDRUGS.ORG MICROSOFT.COM.IS.SECRETLY.RUN.BY.ILLUMINATI.TERRORISTS.NET MICROSOFT.COM.IS.NOTHING.BUT.A.MONSTER.ORG MICROSOFT.COM.IS.NO.MATCH.FOR.THE.UEBER-GEEKS.AT.JIMPHILLIPS.ORG MICROSOFT.COM.IS.BORING.COMPARED.TO.TEENEXTREME.COM MICROSOFT.COM.IS.AT.THE.MERCY.OF.DETRIMENT.ORG MICROSOFT.COM.INSPIRES.COPYCAT.WANNABE.SUBVERSIVES.NET MICROSOFT.COM.HAS.NO.LINUXCLUE.COM MICROSOFT.COM.HACKED.BY.HACKSWARE.COM MICROSOFT.COM.FAIT.VRAIMENT.DES.LOGICIELS.A.TROIS.FRANCS.DOUZE.ORG MICROSOFT.COM.AINT.WORTH.SHIT.KLUGE.ORG MICROSOFT.COM To single out one record, look it up with "xxx", where xxx is one of the of the records displayed above. If the records are the same, look them up with "=xxx" to receive a full display for each record. >>> Last update of whois database: Wed, 6 Dec 2000 10:16:34 EST <<< The Registry database contains ONLY .COM, .NET, .ORG, .EDU domains and Registrars.

Note how the host record that actually belongs to Microsoft was listed at the end.

So far, it looks like there's not a whole lot that can be done about this, due to the way WHOIS works over at internic.net.  Here are a couple of other examples:

APPLE.COM.IS.THE.CHOICE.OF.ALL.SELF.RESPECTING.TERRORISTS.NET APPLE.COM AMAZON.COM.SHOULD.SELL.SEXTOYSONLINE.COM AMAZON.COM YAHOO.COM.IS.TRYING.TO.STEAL.YAHOO.VU.HOW.ACIDULOUS.COM YAHOO.COM

The possibilities are virtually endless.

You can add to the "WHOIS Graffiti Wall" just by registering a host record that's in a valid domain.  And these host names don't have to reflect valid machines - as long as you control the domain you can add host records which exist purely for informational purposes.
