Classy. They have a long history of sleaze.

(135,425 posts)It's a cultural thing--they're stuck in the MAD MEN sixties when it comes to women, it would seem.
They supposedly have EO laws over that way, but I think it's a lot like France--sounds great on paper, doesn't work quite so well in reality.

Wait a minute! Now I'm offended!

(51,122 posts)I'm sure it's funny, and sexy girls are fine with me, but if you need them to sell your product, then you've got problems. Samsung steals ideas and makes up the rest with sleazily business practices.
GoDaddy's ads are borderline pornographic because their service is so terrible. People in the know buy their domains elsewhere. GoDaddy is the MySpace of online services.
