    Not really Galician. The site you're seeing is basically a para-site (hey, I just made that up!) auto-generated by a keyword-based program to make money from residual traffic. It's got no real content or editing input. These 'sites' pop up to do with any subject when anyone forgets to renew their domain, and a domain squatter jumps in. They cost almost zero to produce, and make a few pennies when anyone is tempted into clicking on the ads. With automated systems churning out such sites by the thousand, the profits add up.

    Nick, here is a bizarre note: I tried some of those search links & found a result at target.com, a US department store. For $10 one can pre-order
