10 minutes ago I tried to log on..
...and went to a site called democraticunderground.com but it looked like a site that was for buying plane tickets and listed the last 10 searches all of which had cum in the title. Am I the only person this happened to?

2. No because that is what I thought as well...
... and I made a letter by letter check to see. Then I tried to re-enter the name democraticunderground.com and it sent me there a second time. I went to CU to see if they were gloating but found nothing. Then I tried again and came to the right place.

3. Browser Hijack?
Sounds like you might have a piece of malware that's hijacked your browser.

4. Check the HOSTS file
More info about it here:

And yes, it could be malware or a script that redirects to other sites. They make changes to your HOSTS file, which is used to direct your browser.
