There has been <a href="http://www.webpronews.com/news/ebusinessnews/wpn-45-20050208GoDaddySuperBowlAdControversy.html" target="_new">some buzz</a> about one of the Super Bowl commercials this year. Some people say it's a controversy but I think the company, <a href="http://www.godaddy.com/gdshop/default.asp" target="_new">GoDaddy</a>, is just playing up the hype to increase it's advertising effect. I hadn't seen the commercial but I did find a link for it and a full web version of the commercial <a href="http://www.godaddy.com/gdshop/superbowl05/landing.asp?isc=bpshdr001" target="_new">here</a>. <br />n<br />nIf you haven't seen the full web version it is humourous. Wonderful satirical spoof on the "wardrobe malfunction" of last year and its congressional consequences. The Senator at the end having an accident was hilarious.<br />n<br />nI wouldn't even have mentioned this if the full web ad wouldn't have been so funny. GoDaddy is getting exactly what it wanted out of this add, publicity and sadly I'm helping but I couldn't resist.<br />n<br />n<b>The eros of advertising is lurid but not specific. Mason Cooley</b>
