I actually think this is rather funny myself, too.

Never underestimate human stupidity. At a software company where I
recently worked, people couldn't understand why I suggested so strongly
that they remove things like "company.com" and "hostname.com" from their
sample configuration files, and replace them with clearly bogus domain
names like "example.domain".

Why is mydomain.com still resolving domains for random hosts? If it stops,
the problem will quickly get corrected.
