Typing Google in to my browser bar, I made a typo and instead went to www.googler.co.uk (http://www.googler.co.uk) - I never even knew it existed!
EDIT: Sorry to those who followed the unamended link. This one does work! :)

Same here.
I get the same message, but this kind of thing is a typical phenomenon. Several sites hide behind addresses that are slight distortions of those of large, frequently visited sites, to collect "free" visitors that way.

Sites that do that really irk me.
Ah, I think I'll go and browse the web. I'll just load up my trusty search engine and - oh my. These people aren't wearing any clothes. Gee, I was really going to look up information for my assignment, but this looks so much more fun. Oh, it wants my credit card number too; I guess I'd better enter it!

Strange...
Sorry for the error, but it was definitely a Google spin-off (probably something to do with England winning the Ashes.) Maybe the link doesn't work, I'll check again.
Ah-ha!
Sorry for the wrong link - www.googler.co.uk (http://www.googler.co.uk) it is, I'll update it in my first post.

Just make sure you don't mistype it with a k in place of the l..... I've heard that's a virus :P

You probably wouldn't like this (http://www.geneffects.com/typopositive/index.html) program then, I'd guess.

I sense the title says funny, however, this fails to make me laugh.
