Bob Parsons Thinks About Next Year
The man who brought Candice Michelle (a/k/a "Nikki Cappelli") to the last Super Bowl is thinking about the next one:
It’s now that time of year where we need to start seriously thinking about whether Go Daddy will advertise during the upcoming SuperBowl. SuperBowl XL will take place on February 5th, 2006 in Detroit.
SuperBowl XL will be broadcast by ABC (at least in the United States)....
I predict, however, that the advertising this year will be a bore. And that’s a shame because many of us, particularly those of us who are not football fans, watch the game only to see the commercials – and to have a good laugh....
Why do I think the ads on SuperBowl XL will be a bore? Well, it has to do with what happened during last year’s SuperBowl, and what Go Daddy has thus far experienced with the censors at ABC....
So far, Go Daddy has had every one of its advertisements rejected by ABC – every single one of them. Here’s an ad by ad list of the reasons they’ve given us:
- Paparazzi – Rejected because the commercial uses the word “blackmail” in the punch line.
- Biker – Rejected because Candice is leaning back on a motorcycle.
- Disc Jockey – Rejected because the DJ says the term “bang, bang, banana pants!”
- Caterer – Rejected because they didn’t like the way the $3.99 offer is presented.
