SuperBlow ads - Redux


Who sucked and who didn’t? Won’t know until the USA Today rankings come out, but I’m not impressed by a lot of what I saw. The ones in Bold were the best of the lot in my honest opinion. However, I kept waiting for that one spot that you go 'holy shit!’ over.

Never did see it though. Way too much animalcation and personification of products. (Diet Pepsi anyone? I’m surprised the lid didn’t pop prematurely when the back-up singers touched it – why not, it popped eevery other time.) Bud Light’s seemed the most consistently written of all the spots.

So say you have a bunch of money, millions of dollars, you can do anything you want to promote your business. What do you choose? A soft core boobie commercial. Oh how edgy, oh how 1985, Oh how sad.

It's kind of embarassing watching all these boomer men going through their mid life crisis on tv. Bob Parsons of GoDaddy is possbily the saddest middle aged man in America today.

Seriously, Bob, you run a domain name and web site service, why do you have to rub this poor girls titties all up in our face about it? Is your Viagra kicking in extra hard this season. You are so yuk. I would rather have my fingernails pulled off than watch your lame ass ads again.

Yuk, yuk and yuk. It's the 21st century Bob. Catch up. We're not all whores and sluts you know.

I made a personal vow today not to sleep with any guy that uses GoDaddy as his registration service. I think you can tell a lot about a man based on his business decisions, and if you want to climb in Bed with GoDaddy, you can get they hell out of mine.

GoDaddy - Eww!
