This was an excellent ad! Sexy? yes. Out of line? No. Rambling's Journal - GoDaddy.com CEO Bob Parsons reports on his own blog that Fox yanked their second scheduled ad last night, at the behest of the NFL. 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. Their ad can be seen as part of iFilm's Super Bowl ad roundup. [The four banned 2005 ads grouped to the right are the best] dyn.ifilm.com
