GoDaddy has been caught registering domains that users search for on their site. Search to see if wowlolkittenseatingpizzaarecool.com is available. It is available and you dont buy it. Check tomorrow. It is not available but you can buy it drom the owner for $99 instead of $8.

This is known as Domain Name Front Running and I think their evidence/excuse was that they publicize what gets searched and others buy them.
