As the real world's real-estate bubble pops, a virtual one continues to inflate. Cruise.co.uk, a British travel agent, has paid $1.1 million for the domain name cruises.co.uk. An exorbitant sum to let pasty Englishmen know they are able to purchase more than one cruise at a time. The second domain is to be used for a "social network," Cruise.co.uk's PR agency claims.

Did this come up in your Google search for "cruise AND UK"?
CruiseS.co.uk sounds like a social networking site, alright. One that allows those interested to find places to engage in anonymous sex in public places. In the UK.

cottaging.org.uk
