On that topic, a couple other things jump out.
If you click on one of the links, you get linked to another domain
entirely, although it still mentions the previous domain.
The links don't show the URL in the statusbar -- That is almost
universally used when you have something to hide.
Worse, the links mention common websites (www.dell.ca, bell.ca,
www.Monster.ca), but the hyperlink doesn't take you to that company's
site.
One example here is <a href="#" onmouseover="changeStatus('Music
Downloads');return true;" onmouseout="changeStatus('');return true;"
onclick="return

The junk space at the bottom just adds to the sleaze feel.
Am I against parked pages? No.
Am I against expired domain pages? Somewhat, but ultimately, no.
But I *am* against them appearing to be legitimate sites, even if a
token "This domain is expired" appears in a location users are trained
to ignore.
GoDaddy is a far better example, it's much more obvious that the page is
for an expired domain, and that the links are to other similar content
rather then pretending to be the actual site.
