Still no decision on our 14th and final Super Bowl ad. See rejected ads and storyboards here!

There's still no decision.
Today, although they promised to do so, ABC did not get back to us with a decision on our 14th and final submission.

It appears that we are being singled out.
When we release our final submission, you will see that while it is still "GoDaddy-Esque," it is not as risqué as Jessica Simpson's ad for Pizza Hut, or Coke's "Full Throttle - Let Your Man Out!" campaign.

We are not going to release our final submission -- not just yet.
Out of respect for the process, we've decided not to release the ad still pending approval. If it IS approved, we will debut the spot we purchased during the game. If it is denied, we will make it available immediately.

Check out our quest to get an ad approved.
We have decided to release the chronology with accompanying video and storyboards of the steps we've taken to get an ad approved for this year's Super Bowl. As you will see by reviewing the time line we made 13 submissions - all were rejected. For each rejection, we've provided a video, a storyboard or a screen shot. You can be 'the judge' if any of these submissions actually go too far. To see the time line with the videos and storyboards, click on this link: www.godaddy.com/gdshop/superbowl06/timeline.asp

There's going to be a "red hot" Internet-only version.
On Super Bowl Sunday, we plan to also make an Internet-only version available of our approved ad. As is our custom, the Internet only version will be lots of fun and definitely "GoDaddy-Esque."

@Nefario Any part of it can rhyme. So far we're not having much luck.

@chubdubblub Yeah, maybe. But that reason is as good as any. It's all about protecting our 2nd amendment rights Cheryl.
