I'm not sure what's so "responsible" about this.  Why is it better
than OpenDNS, Sitefinder, or real domain name registrations? 

The motivation of the brand owners who are supposed to fund the ads
still puzzle me, too.  It's somewhat risky for all the parties
involved if the user has entered something that clearly looks like a
Citibank domain name, and receives ads redirecting him to Bank of
America, for instance.
