Silverlight News Desk Web Hosting Provider Go Daddy's Controversial Super Bowl Ad Gets ABC Approval
The 14th Iterative Submission Of the Ad Met The Standards Requirements Of ABC Television
Feb. 3, 2006 12:15 PM
Go Daddy has been struggling to meet the approval of ABC for its ad since it signed up to run a 30-second spot during the game, scheduled for February 5. On his blog , Go Daddy's founder and president Bob Parsons(pictured) has been chronicling the struggle to gain approval for an ad, he felt was sufficiently "godaddy-esque", a characterization he describes as "fun, edgy and just a touch inappropriate." "This showdown went down to the wire," said Parsons in the press release. "We were about out of time and had produced our 14th and final attempt. I'm ecstatic about being in the Super Bowl again." On Wednesday, Go Daddy held a press conference to discuss the status of its efforts to meet with ABC's approval. In the announcement for the meeting, the company lauded its controversial ad from the previous year's Super Bowl.
