Seriously? Seriously? Are we actually writing about this? Are we actually going to give GoDaddy’s Bob Parson’s the time of day for yet another “banned” Super bowl commercial stunt? Oops. We just did. Dammit.

“Of the five commercial concepts we submitted for approval this year, this NEVER would’ve been my pick for the one that would not be approved,” said Go Daddy CEO and Founder Bob Parsons. “This is about a guy who starts an online business and hits the jackpot. I just don’t think “Lola” is offensive, in fact we didn’t see this one coming — we were absolutely blindsided!”

Oh the horror, Bob! The shock! The dismay! The utter incredulity of it al!

Make it stop.
