GoDaddy Superbowl Ad Pulled After 1st Airing!!
 

from Bob Parsons' (CEO of GoDaddy) blog :

As you may have noticed our Super Bowl ad only appeared during the scheduled first quarter spot. It was scheduled to run also in the second ad position during the final two minute warning. Our ad never ran a second time. Instead, in its place, we saw an advertisement promoting "The Simpsons."

The NFL persuaded FOX to pull our ad.
We immediately contacted Fox to find out what happened. Here's what we were told: After our first ad was aired, the NFL became upset and they, together with Fox, decided to pull the ad from running a second time. Because we purchased two spots, we were also entitled to a "Brought to you by GoDaddy.com" 5 second marquis spot. They also chose to pull the marquis spot.

Our ad is finishing high in opinion polls.
So far in early opinion polls, our ad seems to be finishing fairly high. In fact, in checking the one on the Fox site, it is in the number two position. Not bad for an ad that could only be aired once.

Stay tuned for more news as it develops.
I'm sure you'll be hearing more about this over the next few days. I believe that it's the first time ever a decision was made to pull an ad after it had already been run once during the same broadcast.

Great Ad...that girl in the commercial is hot!

tv networks are such big pussies now

thanks janet jackson!

The ad was known before the game, why would they decide late?

Only thing I can think is that they stations got a lot of calls.

What was wrong with it?

i guess that a strap falling is too much for tv now... lol

I laughed my ass off when I saw that ad and I wondered why it never showed up again

1. Bud Light Ad - Pilot jumps out of Plane
2. GoDaddy Ad
3, 4, 5. Monkeys

That has to be it.

it seems the more you shove in the publics face the more conservative they become. At least on the surface.

Duke

the online version of the ad is pretty cool too hehehe

I would sue biggggggggtime. They knew full well what the ad was, shit I saw it a few days before the game.

hahaha classic

the fuck is happening to this country

geez

There is absolutely nothing wrong with the ad.

That was one of the best I saw.
I also like the one where the dad told his kid if she ate his nuts unicorns would dissapear. What's sicker?

The godaddy ad was incredible...Best of the bowl....loved it!

pathetic

I know! Whats funny is.... there was a tamer version that was reputed to not be airing. The one that did air was actually more "risque" than the one that was purported to NOT AIR!

You can find both versions here...
Kick ass GO DADDY Ads.

ya, i didnt think it was bad at all actually. fuck, half of the tv shows fox airs are more risque' than that commercial :2 cents:

could be just a publicity stunt, like they did when they said the ad got denied a week or so ago.

I thought the ad had not been approved to run at all?

I can't believe they pulled that off the air either.

Hopefully this will get some media attention and GoDaddy can get some major exposure that way

Yeah! We've been fucked..... and I didn't even get a reach around..... :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Juicy retaliated for his domain cancellations, and demanded that the ad's be pulled!

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

It's not the public generally, but organized groups that coordinate complaints like the American Family Association http://www.afa.net and the American Decency Association http://www.americandecency.org

Will somebody think about the Children!! What about the children!

Here are the 2 ads.
Approved and disapproved ads

Funny. So you can carry guns in the USA, drive cars when you are 16, but this ad was to much. Damn USA is so liberal :D

Nice Ad!! "Go Daddy Go Daddy Go Daddy"
Shoud have had her tit fall out. That would push them over the edge.
:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

it had big ass titties, that's what

Yes.. I was suprised to see it at all. I thought it was pulled from what they said.

Land of the Free eh...

Parsons is a loser but i like the ad :pimp

he will prob also receive a nice fine from FCC lol

I'd like to see a url reporting this (the liberal media will be all over it if its true so it won't be hard to find)

My gut reaction is this is a story put out by godaddy and that they could only afford one spot.

Fucking network pussies. Thats why we need the internet.

NFL are pussies...

i didnt see the ad

what the hell are you talking about? the government decide what weapons you carry. the tv network decided what commercials air on their tv airwaves.

did that somehow confuse you or are you just slow?

Sounds like a publicity stunt to me. Why would the NFL get upset halfway through the game? They had plenty of time before the game to view the ads.

Something doesn't sound right to me
