GoDaddy Commercial

I'm watching the Sunday Night Football game on NBC. Just saw a GoDaddy Commercial.

GoDaddy has done a number of sexually suggestive commercials. There were a couple of commercials with race car driver Danica Patrick, in which she's speeding along some road, is pulled over by a cop, unzips to show a bit of decolletage while she waits for what she assumes to be a male policeman...only it's a female policeman with jackboots and bosoms and apparently a taste for women.

Commercial ends and you're instructed to go to the website to see the rest of the content.

Now we've got one in which some nerdy white guy wearing a bow tie is the "ringmaster" for about 12 women, dressed in form fitting black tights and spaghetti-strapped, tight fitting shirts, each one with "Largest" or "Mainframe" or some other computer reference printed across her bosom.

As the male individual walks among them, they turn from their sideon pose to face front, smiling at this nerdy white guy as if his any wish is their command. At the very end, we see each one reaching up to peel off their shirts, camera focuses on a flat belly.... and then... the URL saying, go here to see what happens next.

Talk about demeaning to women. And what the hell does it have to do with domain names??

Sure would be interesting to see how many hits that URL gets after each commercial...sad but true to say I bet its in the millions.
