As I was eagerly awaiting this year's installment, along comes the GoDaddy version. I didn't like it. Oh, don't get me wrong, the puppy was adorable, but the whole message was very forced and awkward, and I'm not crazy about the idea of just shipping a puppy off to someone who spotted a picture they liked on a website. And it was clear right away that a lot of other people didn't like the ad either. In short order, Go Daddy nixed the ad saying they would run another one, and that they weren't really bad people.
Which leaves me wondering--was that ever the real ad or were they just doing that to needle Budweiser and/or capture some eyes and ears that otherwise would bypass them in a heartbeat?
The skeptic in me is pretty sure this was the plan all along. What do you think?
