Sometimes error pages online really resonate more than they should. I recently navigated to Responsibility.gov. I figured with all the talk during the election surely someone in Washington had registered the domain, especially considering Barack Obama seems to be running a .gov domain registration and parking service these days.
Surprise surprise, I quickly got a domain error message in my browser. I hit shift apple four and snapped a picture of this one, it was too priceless not to post here.

hahahahahaha. hooray for making a statement. I’m just waiting for the honeymoon to be over.
The “error page” would be better, more effective, if “responsability.org” was spelled properly, i.e. “responsibility.org”. But it was amusing none the less; point well made! Looks like responsibility.org (properly spelled) is already taken too. Thanks for sharing.
@Charlie Profit: The interesting thing is, I have both versions done up (responsibility and responsability, and the post slug has an i). I originally did it up responsibility.gov but spell check corrected it to an a, so I assumed I was wrong. In retrospect, wordpress spell check needs updated and I was right the first time. I’ll switch back to the old version, thanks!
Interesting that you mention spell check misspelling! I have a Firefox Plug in (using on Flock), or is it part of my “Google Pack”… that underlines my misspelled words (or unknown in it’s database of words). Maybe I am being too trusting too!
It would be nice to have a “Webster’s Dictionary” or “Dictionary.com” plug in. Not sure what source of reference the Firefox / Google spell check uses.
