Pet Peeve: Sponsors with "cash", "revenue" in the link url.

I don't get this at all. What I am talking about is sponsors with links that look like "http://pimpingbigbucks.xyz/click_here_so_i_can_get_rich/blingbling.cgi?bigpimpin"

As if this makes the surfer want to click on it. Sure only 10% or less will actually notice, but what is with this? Wouldn't it make more sense to try to hide that there is an affiliate relationship as much as possible and to perhaps try to even make the url enticing to the potential customer?

You know, like:

"http://hotmaturebabes.xyz/movies9387/"

I realize you can do a mouseover but does anyone else out there agree?
