There was a similar case in the early 20th century involving Coca Cola and a competitor known as Koka Kola. The decision was that Koka Kola, with its similar name and packaging, was intentionally trying to confuse Coca Cola's customers.

In this case, Mike Rowe is simply making an amusing statement with the website name. No one is seriously going to e-mail Mr. Rowe asking him how to purchase FrontPage online. No one in his right mind is going to confuse Mike's site with Bill's.
