British Facebook URL redirects to Google 404?

It's not the "British Facebook", it's someone who bought the domain and pointed it towards Google Sites. See http://www.facebook.co.uk/ .
Of course, I was not able to see the Google sites connection, but it makes sense a squatter would snatch the url and direct it to their own site for affiliate monies or something along those lines
Open the www. URL and open the "sign in" link in the site footer.
