1. I'm wondering - did they actually reject it, or is the whole rejection thing part of the ad?
I wouldn't be surprised if Godaddy was making it all up...

3. That is a possibility,
But I would not put it past those prudes at Fox.

16. I think that was planned...
Made you go to their website, didn't it?

21. Been there before.
Have a domain through them already. So was not a big leap for me.

22. Well, it made ME look, then...
Because, you know, Danica Patrick is going to get buck-nekkid for a commercial endorsement.

23. GoDaddy is all about misleading claims...
I have a number of domains with them, and I get SO much snail mail and spam from them either frantically telling me my domain is expiring (which is set to auto renew) or offering me $2.99 domains or 15% off or whatever, when it's always conditional on purchasing their overpriced add-ons, never on their core product. It's so bad that when they have legitimate reason to contact me, I tend to tune it out.

2. Oh that was just TOO funny.
And noting the number of starlets that can't seem to keep theirs out of site...

10. LOL - no, Danica is a very attractive young woman.
The very explicit reference to beavers went beyond that "so bad that it's good" threshold. I think it fits more into the "so bad that it's nauseating" category.

:P

12. Maybe the commercial was trying to make us remember all those Britney incidents?

14. Oh I'm very sure that's what it was referring to...
but the beaver tagline was just... I dunno... bad.

11. What if all the people in the cars were men holding boa constrictors?
Just as crass, no argument from me whatsoever.

Still,expect to see the ad lampooned in "Family Guy" in a couple of months.

13. It would have been just as lame were they carrying pussies.
Get it? cat = pussy; pussy = Vagina. The humor is too much. :yawn:

27. As Marge Simpson once said...
"You know, Fox turned into a hardcore sex channel so gradually, I didn't even notice."

(From Episode 2F15, "Lisa's Wedding")
