Wasn't "Go Daddy" an ad in the Super Bowl? Gannon connection

[LittleClarkie]

or am I behind the times with this. I see from Whois that male4malescorts.com is registered to Go Daddy Software. Is it the Super Bowl I remember that name from? If not, where did that name come up recently?

This is all old news, isn't it. I'm so behind the times, but this is the first time I've tried typing one of these sites into Whois.

(as an aside: I found it amusing that their name server is "DNS1.winkwinknodnod.com")

1. Godaddy.com sells domain names and does web hosting. That's all. NT

2. I just did a googlenews search

I see that they got into trouble for a racy ad at the Super Bowl. So I suppose they're not noted for their "family" content.

Tin hat on: I'm ready to find out godaddy.com is owned by someone in the governement too.

5. Yep Yep

They are who I register my domains through after Register.com sold them out from under me to a porn site.

Go Daddy is JUST a registrar and host.

3. Superbowl ad was supposed to air twice but was pulled by Faux

Because it was a parody of Janet Jackson's "wardrobe disfunction" & poked fun at prudish legislators/the FCC. But no one really noticed what GoDaddy.com was selling because the viewers were too interested in checking out the sexy model's little pole dance. :P

6. My domain is registered with Go Daddy. It's just a provider.
