GoDaddy's Banned Superbowl Ad

In these fast-paced Internet days, it's important to remember that the domain name of your dreams could disappear if you don't act quickly. So this new GoDaddy ad, beyond being an amusingly deadpan take on the subject, is also providing America with a valuable service.

When I found out that the ad had been banned from this year's Super Bowl, though, I really didn't believe it. Because it doesn't make any sense. "I just did your dog?" "I already did my mom?" Was "My wife loves Mr. Winkie?" or "Mother-Humpas.com" the final straw? Please. These are innuendos on the level of playground taunting. A ten-year-old wouldn't be offended. That ten-year-old, in fact, would probably find it pretty funny. Maybe that's why CBS refused to air it? CBS hates giving children joy? Well, it's one theory.
