Smartest Ad Campaign: GoDaddy.com
Cynics scoffed when the then-unknown Web hosting provider agreed to pay $4.8 million to air a 30-second spot twice during the Super Bowl. GoDaddy's ad, a spoof of Janet Jackson's "wardrobe malfunction," ran during the first quarter, but Fox pulled it before it could appear again in the fourth. As news of the controversy mushroomed, traffic to GoDaddy.com soared; by April the company had passed Network Solutions to become the Web's leading domain-name registrar.

Grand Prize Winner, Dumbest Moment of 2005
Bubble Trouble
"If you grew up in Danvers, and you remember it as the spooky place on the hill, it might not be the right place to live."
William McLaughlin, an executive with AvalonBay Communities, which is converting boarded-up Massachusetts mental institution Danvers State Hospital into a 497-unit complex of high-end apartments and condos. That sound you hear? Not the ghosts of mental patients, but loud hissing from the wildly inflated housing bubble.

Skimpy scantily clad chicks means big $$ for the company who reserves the right to blast away your domain if the site contains anything 'morally objectionable', sheesh...
