View GoDaddy.com's 13 Rejected Superbowl Ads

[xpgeek]

from A blog by Go Daddy founder and president Bob Parsons (http://www.bobparsons.com/SuperBowlAdIsApproved.html)

Yesterday we made available the chronology with accompanying video and storyboards of the steps we’ve taken to get our ad approved. As you will see by reviewing the chronology we made 13 submissions which were all rejected. For each rejection we’ve provided a video, a storyboard or a screen shot. You can also see the approved ad here. You can be the judge if any of these submissions actually went too far. To see the time line with the videos and storyboards, click on this link:

Give me a break, none of em are that bad. Ever since that stupid Janet Jackson incident, that whole 1 second long incident, oh god the horror the horror. I really do live in a stupid freakin country.

Well, here's the problem as I see it. There are lots of people who have kids, impressionable kids. Those kids are gonna be watching the game too, so they are gonna see the ads. My kids won't see the whole game because they'll have to go to bed before it's over, but consider the people further west. It's earlier for them, so their kids likely won't miss a thing.

You may not think the ads are all that bad, and frankly, I'm not offended by them myself. (I don't see the point either, but sex sells, we all know that.) However, I don't want my kids seeing them, especially the ones where Candice is rubbing herself all over. The one that finally got accepted is tame enough for anyone to watch.

Speaking of Janet Jackson and her wardrobe malfunction.....

Pay close attention to the close-up of her breast showing the nipple jewelry - it's attached in a unique way.

Looks cold there ;)

Imagine a kid breast feeding that, it will think its got a Borg drone as a mother. And being who she is, probably called 6 of 10 out of the Jackson collective. Michael Jackson looks just as pale too, no nose, must have had his borg implants removed.

I reckon that is Michael Jackson.... he's been assimilated.
