Your ISP appears to be doing DNS poisoning. This is similar to what I see when I type that command. Probably the only thing you can do is complain to your ISP. It will most likely fall on deaf ears, but it's better than nothing. Alternatively, if you use Tor then you shouldn't get DNS poisoning, as Tor exit relays automatically detect and block DNS poisoning. Andrew.
