GoGranny Yes, GoDaddy No!

February 7th, 2011

GoDaddy.com runs a very good hosting service (in fact this Blog is hosted on GoDaddy.com’s servers), but it’s advertising agency should have been fired a long time ago. For years, we’ve been treated to sexist creative that seems to have been conceived by cavemen. This infantile “lad magazine” stuff isn’t just offensive to women – it’s offensive to anyone with a brain.

Which is why Network Solutions is to be praised for launching its funny “Go Granny” series, which uses Chloris Leachman (“the original hot domain babe) to thoroughly skewer GoDaddy’s lame creative in a very funny way that also challenges the business wisdom of plopping down an obscene amount of money on Super Bowl spots.
