I feel a headache coming on...

Is this more of the fun from years ago where everyone thought it would 
be great to create a bunch of custom TLDs then try and convince everyone 
to use their name servers to 'enable' these (for lack of a better word) 
site-local domains?

I tried the OpenDNS koolaid, and well, was horribly disappointed.
