    Was the GoDaddy Commercial a setup?

    I wonder if they told fox to cancel their extra commercials on purpose to draw attention and get people talking about them.

            it was a stunt, because fox screened all commercials prior to being shown. that's the reason why this commercial http://www.big-boys.com/articles/bannedsuperbowl.html was not allowed.

                              i think it's because there is nothing else to talk about. the superbowl and 99% of all the commercial and half-time was BORING!... all of those ad companies should be fired along with the producer of the halftime show. sex is everywhere... what wrong with taunting it and flirting

                                      Absolutely it is. This industry thrives on repression and unfulfilled desire. The fact that there's additional 'taunting' (in the form of chearleaders, music videos, et al) just adds fuel to the fire.

                                      If americans were comfortable with their sexuality, the porn industry here would be virtually nonexistant, catering only to extreme niches and unusual tastes. Thank the gods for well-meaning religious zealots paving the road to hell for us.

                                        says here it was the NFL that pulled it:

                                        Racy Ad Pulled After Super Bowl Airing

                                        17 minutes ago Television - AP


                                        By SETH SUTEL, AP Business Writer

                                        NEW YORK - A racy ad for a vendor of Web site names was pulled at the last minute from a second showing during the Super Bowl telecast on Sunday after NFL executives objected that the spot made light of Janet Jackson (news)'s "wardrobe malfunction" incident in last year's halftime show.


                                        AP Photo
                                        Slideshow: Super Bowl Commercials




                                        The ad for GoDaddy.com Inc. featured a buxom woman appearing before a "broadcast censorship" hearing making her case that she wanted to appear in a commercial, when suddenly she suffers a malfunction of her own as a strap breaks on her already skimpy top.


                                        One of the elderly committee members reaches for an oxygen mask, while a woman suggests that the woman put on a turtleneck. The logo of the fake news channel was "G-Spin," and the hearings were supposedly being held in Salem, Mass., the town made famous by witch trials.


                                        Although the spot was initially approved by Fox executives prior to airing, a decision was made during broadcast not to air the spot a second time later in the game. Brian McCarthy, a spokesman for the NFL, said that the NFL's chief operating officer, Roger Godell, expressed his "disappointment" to Fox executives after seeing the first airing of the ad.


                                        McCarthy said the NFL had not reviewed the ad prior to its airing, and was not aware that it had been scheduled to be repeated later in the game. "We questioned why a spot of that nature was in the game," McCarthy said, noting its "inappropriateness" and the fact that it referred to last year's incident.


                                        Jon Nesvig, the president of advertising sales for Fox Broadcasting Co., a division of News Corp., said in a statement that when the commercial ran in the first half, "it became obvious to us that its content was very much out of step with the tenor set by the other ads and programming broadcast by Fox on Super Bowl Sunday, so Fox made the decision to drop its repeat airing."


                                        A spokesman for Fox declined to elaborate beyond the statement. Fox had already rejected a second ad from GoDaddy.com prior to the broadcast.


                                        McCarthy said that the NFL had several conversations with Fox in the weeks leading up to the game in order to "make sure that the overall presentation of Super Bowl Sunday would be suitable for a mass audience. ... That's why we questioned this particular content."


                                        The NFL was determined not to have a repeat of last year's complaints over the Janet Jackson halftime incident, in which her breast was exposed after singer Justin Timberlake (news) ripped off a piece of her costume.


                                        Warren Adelman, chief operating officer of GoDaddy.com, said the company was "very disappointed" that the ad was pulled, and received no advance warning from Fox. The Scottsdale, Ariz.-based company is still in discussions with Fox about what kind of restitution would be made, he said.


                                        "The irony is that a parody of censorship was itself censored," Adelman said.
