My domain server is Godaddy. Seems that Godaddy has stirred up a hornets nest with it's Super Bowl ad featuring a young lady ( Nikki ) testifying before a committee of her elders, supposedly about decency on tv..
Bob Parsons, the owner of Godaddy, actually purchased two ads.. one to play in the spot where it was seen, and another to play just before half-time. Well, as Bob and his cohorts watched and waited on their second commercial, all they saw was an ad for the 'Simpsons'.
After frantic calls to FOX, they were informed that the NFL had instructed them to pull the second ad...
Bob has a very interesting blog, Hot Points, that details the entire process of getting ads approved for the Super Bowl. Of course, the blog covers many other topics as well... but this is the 'hot topic' right now...
The thirty second spot cost Bob a cool 2.4 million, per commercial. I suppose he's looking for a refund on one of those.. If you missed the commercial, you can see it on Bob's blog, as well as an extended two minute version...
