Fear Factor...

I assume most of you watched the Super Bowl on Sunday. Or at least have gone to some of the websites that show the Super Bowl commercials. Because let's face it. Unless the Rams are in the Super Bowl, the game isn't worth watching. :)

If you paid attention to the commercials, I am sure you saw the GoDaddy commercials, poking fun at Senate hearings on 'indecency'.

What of course you didn't see was a second, longer spot, schedule to run at the final 2 minute warning. According to the head of GoDaddy's blog the NFL called FOX and had them pull the second ad.

Quote:


The NFL persuaded FOX to pull our ad.
We immediately contacted Fox to find out what happened. Here's what we were told: After our first ad was aired, the NFL became upset and they, together with Fox, decided to pull the ad from running a second time. Because we purchased two spots, we were also entitled to a "Brought to you by GoDaddy.com" 5 second marquis spot. They also chose to pull the marquis spot.


Well, here is a link to the ad.

I give you this for two reasons. One, the chick is smoking hot and needs to be seen! And two, I want to show you how 'offensive' it is. How 'terrible' it was and how it HAD to be pulled because the NFL is so afraid of offending a couple of morons that they cost FOX money.

If you watch the spot, and you are offended by it, you, my friend, are a moron. There is NOTHING in the ad worse than you can see walking down the street or watching daytime television.

I hope we finish this War on Boobies soon. It's very sad for me as a member of the creative community to have to watch artists and broadcasters stifle themselves for fear of the SS-FCC bankrupting them.

Welcome to my blog!

Thanks for visiting my arena of crap and terrible writing! My name is Erin Winking, also known as ewink and this is my blog.

I am a 29+2 year old, year old television news photojournalist from Springfield, Illinois who just got done with a two year bit in Las Vegas and has now, for whatever reason come back to Realtown, America - Tulsa, Oklahoma! I am a huge anime fan as well!

Outside of that I enjoy writing, playing computer games (EVE Online 4tw!) and not updating my website! I am also semi-political, whereas I like to bitch about things, but tend to not do anything else. If you are going to put me in a party, you'd have to consider me a libertarian, even though I am not a member of any political party.

I hope you like my blog! Feel free to drop me a line!
