Like Simetrical said: we like .org better than .com, and as many 'example' domains pointed to pages showing ads, I thought I'd solve it. First in the English localisation, then in 100+ others.
example.com and example.org both display this text only:
You have reached this web page by typing "example.com", "example.net", or "example.org" into your web browser.
These domain names are reserved for use in documentation and are not available for registration. See RFC 2606, Section 3.
There are no ads. It's good to fix up the other non-standard example URLs, but IMHO example.com is more widely used in documentation, and .com hostnames are more familiar to most users, so I'd rather stick with the example.com we've used for years than change it gratuitously.
I've replaced the changed URLs back to example.com.
