GoDaddy Advert Deemed Offensive

January 28, 2010 by Michele Neylon

Bob Parsons, the larger than life founder of GoDaddy, tweeted earlier this afternoon that the GoDaddy Ad for the Super Bowl had been rejected – again.

CBS rejected the advert, which can be viewed online, as being “offensive to certain viewers”.

Of course the outcome of their decision will be even more PR for GoDaddy, but that was inevitable.

But what is so offensive about the advert?

Is it the lingerie or the implied sexual preferences of the main character?

As a European I can’t see how anyone would be offended.
