Makes me kinda happy I decided to move my domains away from Godaddy (before I knew about this). I don't always agree with PETA's agenda, but they're right on this.

Knew Bob's arrogance would get the best of him one day. Would be pretty funny to see that PR war if GoDaddy pulls Peta's domain.

It's really bad news. Never heard such awful things about them.
Think that it is high time to transfer my domains to another Registrar.

I have just moved some domains away to save about 20 elephants by coupon code. The process of saving elephants was fast done.

This is horrific!
I can see tribal people wearing GoDaddy merchandise too and slaying the elephants. There are many ways to get deter elephants from eating their crops... if Bob used his brain for once then maybe he could have used the money he has to find a more humane and responsible way of helping those tribal people deter elephants.
Here is the full video

It really hurt me after watching this video. Now this is the time to move domain and hosting to other host. Good bye Godaddy.

GD may not care but I just moved my domains from them to namecheap. They are not getting one more cent from me.

"Now, there are so many things wrong with this video that it's hard to know where to start. First off: is it really appropriate to score a scene of hungry villagers in Zimbabwe tearing apart a dead elephant to the tunes of AC/DC's "Hells Bells"? And I can't be the only one who found it creepy that Parsons had outfitted nearly everyone in the area with bright orange GoDaddy baseball caps. Not to mention the fact that this is all taking place in Zimbabwe, a broken country oppressed by the tyrannical Robert Mugabe, where 64% of the population lives under the poverty line and nearly 100% live in fear. This is one step up from taking spring break in North Korea."

Hello,
Honestly, i do not see any problem with that event.
Maybe someone from those peoples were going to die hungry, who knows ? this is why the animals is on the earth for,
i'm not saying that i support that, but it is not a reason to remove any of your domains it doesn't make any sense, do you think Bob need your 10$.
Peoples Die everyday, go to CNN and see, why you do not try to support them before supporting elephants ?

Probably the amount of food wasted on the planet is worth more lot than the profit Bob Parsons makes.
According to the article below in Sub Saharan Africa alone there is a wastage of 100 million tons of food (worth $48 million) wasted every year ...and no, elephants are not solely responsible for it

Let see how GoDaddy explains this using a $3 Million SuperBowl ad.
