GrowUpDaddy
I wish I used Godaddy.com so I could switch my sites off of it. Last night’s Superbowl ads weren’t “edgy” or “irreverent.” They were sexist.
KD Paine posts about twittering for alternatives in real time.
If you want to see what the twitterverse thought of the ad as it unspooled, check this time-constrained search at twitter.
The ads apparently get GoDaddy new users. But:
1. We don’t know how many more new users GoDaddy would get if they ran better ads that didn’t write off at least half of their market
2. Low-cost providers ought to worry about making their customers embarrassed to admit that they’re customers. How much squirming will customers with little loyalty take?
3. GoDaddy is hurting our daughters, and making our world worse. So, screw ’em.
