GoDaddy Pulls 2015 Super Bowl Ad After Slew Of Negative Feedback From Animal Advocates
The recently released GoDaddy 2015 Super Bowl ad generated a whole lot of outrage from animal advocates and was quickly retracted Tuesday.
The ad, called "Journey Home," features a golden retriever puppy named Buddy who bounces out of the back of a truck before traveling through a series of harrowing environments to get to a bright red barn.
"Buddy! I'm so glad you made it home!" a curly-haired blonde exclaims. "Because I just sold you on this website I made with GoDaddy."

Geez... it amazes me what idiots find offensive.
I bet the animal rights idiots wear leather. shoes.
The new GoDaddy commercial absolutely makes me sick to watch. I know they are poking fun at Budweiser, but this commercial crosses a line to me. When thousands of dogs die each day in shelters I feel it is very irresponsible of them to promote selling puppies online to God know who. They are in essence promoting back yard breeders and puppy mills.
I don't believe their promotion was for Puppy Mills, Inc.
Get a sense of humor.
Please go back to wearing your leather. bra liberal.

Why are they poking fun at Budweiser?
Because this is America.
Budweiser's big commercial last year involved the sale of a puppy and it escaping to stay with the horses. The last few years, they've played on the puppy cuteness, so Go daddy just made a jab at them. No big deal to me. Not all breeder's that have websites and accept sales on the internet are puppy mills, so I don't understand the uproar. Puppy mills are more of a problem supplying the chain pet stores.
I don't think a lot of people understand the "fun" they are poking at Budweiser. All they see is how this puppy is handled / treated badly - and I think SOME people will see this commercial (not understanding all the politics behind it ) and actually think it is OK to put an animal in the back of a pick up and ride around! Really, we're dealing with the minds of millions who have the mentality bordering 'idiot' !
Anon 10:07 I'm not a liberal. I've voted republican or libertarian in every election. Just don't find the humor in this commercial and the only leather bra I've ever handled is the one I was taking of your girl :-)
