1. It's kind of weak.
A one-pun commercial and it didn't make me laugh.

2. A fair argument...
...but I think hearing a NASCAR driver weigh in on it adds a little levity. Your mileage may vary. :hi:

5. I wouldn't object to it airing on the grounds of any offensiveness or anything,
to me it's not offensive, and I don't think most kids would even get the joke. I would have OK'd the ad if I were part of the decision making group. But personally I just didn't think it was clever enough or funny enough to make an impression.

7. It's the FOX channel. Maybe you expected something different.
100% of the shows I watch on the Fox channel are the superbowl.

Every year I give my kids the talk about how the violence displayed during their advertisements for their TV shows is morally bizarre.

8. I wish she'd take herself more seriously as a racer
and not a sex object, but it's her choice of course.

Ad is tacky as hell, too. It certainly doesn't make me want to register my next domain name with them

9. I do have one domain registered with them...
...but it has nothing to do with their ads. Their rates are reasonable, and their customer service is attentive enough for my needs.

12. These guys are geniuses...
The whole point of the commercial is to get people to go to their site. Which it did.
