it seems as though Fox and the NFL pulled the rest of the ads by Godaddy after the first one was aired. Interesting and check out the ad here http://wizbangblog.com/archives/005007.php I thought it was creative but for these times evidently way over the top (pun intended).

in terms of what one sees and talks about on soaps and situation comedies that ad is nothing. Absolutely hilarious how far we have come. I liked the "they are not real" comment at the end.

3. So they played it once
then decided not to play it again.

Sooooooo stupid. But hey, looks like the NFL knows who holds the reins of power.

4. one would think
that this is mostly a Fox decision. But seriously, is there anything in this ad that would cause FCC to fine or question Fox? They have had whole shows and series that are far worse than this ad.

5. Well the blurb on the link said the NFL pressured FOX to stop the 2nd ad
But yes, the substance is no worse than anything else on prime time these days.
