She knows who her audience is – 12 year old guys like me who like good looking cars and good looking women. It’s entertainment. Relax.

Fixed.

I’m a software engineer: when I went to their website to apply for jobs, I saw this disgusting campaign, hatred and misogyny: i’d NEVER WORK FOR SUCH EMPLOYER.

@ CJ

Ouch. Your opinion of men seems pretty skewed. There are *plenty* of men out there that think Bob Parsons and the like are misogynistic morons and feel sick seeing such idiotic marketing campaigns. Perhaps it’s my age or background, but I’ve never really spent any time with men who view women as being any different to themselves as human beings. I’d like to think we could be the future of the male side of the species, but I think the boneheads will always be around hogging the limelight and in the majority…

Bob Parsons makes every man that thinks a woman is a lady not an object mad as hell. He is the reason young girls are so confused.

Hey there,
I saw a GODaddy commercial on the TV right now and went to the website to see the full version, curious as to where it was going. It was the new speeding commercial. I am not specifically knocking Danica Patrick…but let me just say this; I am an eighteen almost nineteen year old female who has struggled time and again with her image, as most teenage females do. The media has vastly become much worse in the way it portrays women, as sexual objects with no other purpose. Especially the type of women; THEY ALL LOOK THE SAME! That makes us average, petite girls feel terrible about ourselves and even think into aspects of surgery or if not have to find a way to deal with thoughts of not being good enough for the male population because they’re all drooling over things like these damned commercials. I hope the world comes to its senses someday soon and sees how much things like this are completely battering already bruised persons like young girls. Do you see where the media is steering us towards? To just shut up and be treated like objects. Well, at least I’m aware that they’re doing this so I can avoid it but what of those who aren’t?

I have been slamming my head on that “Glass Ceiling” for 30 years now as an Electronics Specialist/IT/Programmer/Geek/Computer Repair Tech. I didn’t get into a frickin shower with another woman, pose nude or screw the boss. I was told that “SEX SELLS” and that these cheesy, stupid and moronic, intellectually devoid GoDaddy ads were successful and not “targeted” for me, so I should just STFU (shut up). Well, not only am I NOT going to shut up, I will tell you this; you don’t get thrown into a pack of testosterone soaked beings and not stroll on out unscathed. 30 years and 400 bazillion bruises later, I am lean, mean and determined to point my teenaged daughter in the RIGHT direction. Not all men are pigs, but they certainly want to be. The ones with wealth and power can make or break you if you play their game. Well, this girl didn’t play. I will probably die working, never being able to retire. I have NEVER been fired, but I sure as hell have WALKED AWAY and proudly burned some bridges, hell I nuked them. It is very clear to me that there is a intellect deficit in this woman. If I followed her career, I would be ashamed that she is the same gender, but on I go, working my ass off and walking away because I REFUSE to PLAY. Rob, you are clearly a moron, but you can’t help it. You are a male. Enjoy. The rest of us can go back to watching Indy Car racing without tossing our cookies and patiently wait for one of those hot young drivers to hop in the shower with another hot young thing. Yes?

@Rob: You missed the point.

I don’t mind seeing sexy women, the problem that I have is that there is NO other substance to them. They think that merely having suggestive themes in their ads will get my money, but half of them don’t even make sense. I find it insulting that they think that they win me over with such a half-ass effort. I don’t blame Danica for taking their money but I doubt she’s very proud of the spots. Any dude who actually gets excited by these ads ain’t too bright.

I also looked at the Bob Parsons website. The guy is a total sleaze who thinks that women have only one purpose. I think there are porn filmmakers out there who have a higher view of women than this slimeball!
