I really want someone to link them please!

Here’s the advantage of totally frivilous names like that though, and possibly why fauxtogs grab them: Search Engines.
When you get a lock on a domain name or go to register a name that would be wanted by others, especially something so easily grabbed by a search bot, you can be sitting on some serious cash for virtually nothing.
Remember all those weird .co.uk domains Thomas linked us to in the Fauxtogs Who Should End Up on the Main Page thread? Same kind of thing; the domains easily grabbed by search engines drum up hits on it’s own.

That is the most annoying thing about them. Exposure and the allure of cheap prices for a “professional” service will bring in clients and severely damage local trust and possibly reputations if the client gets burned (which is inevitable).
