Godaddy Shot Elephant, namecheap Profits

As a vegetarian, I'm not bothered by this. It fed a whole village, and stopped them possibly starving. So the villagers could have shot it... Big deal, if he wants to do it himself and give them some money for the privilege, he can feel free in my book. (although it's a retarded PR move releasing the video, and handing out Godaddy hats)
I will probably be switching my domains over, though, simply cause of how cheap it is.

It's an evolutionary benefit to enjoy hunting, considering we had to hunt to survive, if you enjoyed doing it you would be more successful. Quite frankly, I think that's a gene we need to keep. If shit ever hits the fan we could see our future generations forced to hunt, and I would like to see them survive. He did something he enjoyed but made sure a positive came out of it.
Elephants are one of the few creatures on this planet with a Brain bigger than ours. Everyone knows their memory is damn good, and they sure act like humans sometimes when they go apeshit and trounce some asshole every now and then that they remember abusing them as a young phant.
Cows = Stupid, un-nurtured, bags of meat.
Phants = Smart, family-centric, free beings.
It's a damn shame. Next let's see bob harpoon some cute little whale-babies off the coast of Japan "to feed those without food after the tsunami."

If he does that while clubbing a baby seal I'll buy 1k domains, because the fall out would be funny.
Yeah he's busy being the tough guy right now, but I bet that dies off real quick.
bad publicity is still publicity. frankly I'm kind of dumbfounded that any of you would expect any less from Bob Parsons he's always done well with his shock value antics and this is no different. Bet he sells a fuck ton of domains
I'm split about this.
On one hand, I fucking hate Godaddy with a passion, and someone who posts videos of himself shooting elephants on youtube edited to rock music clearly has masculinity issues.
On the other - he REALLY pissed off PETA. That's never a bad thing.
His next vid should be of him raping a panda.

Well, to be completely honest, It was a very fine line that he got caught on the wrong side of. Im thinking that his intention was to create a huge internet buzz, and get people all wound up, which he did, it just went completely the wrong way!
Sometimes Bad Publicity, is still Just Bad Publicity.
Epic Fail!
I don't really have an opinion on the elephant but I was impressed by the frenzy of the villagers over the carcass. Unlike Parson's spin before the shooting all of those people dressed in rags looked genuinely desperate as they stripped the animal for food. Not saying that is the solution to hungry people but that mob looked motivated for other reasons than Bob's poorly thought out PR stunt.
1) Fuck Bob Parsons. You did not go to Africa to kill elephants so you could help out some villagers. You are a lying delusional asshole. Also way to attempt to use sympathy for starving people to make up for your small dick antics. You could have fed 100x as many people (or more) for the cost of your trip.
2) Elephants are cool as fuck. And they are also big and slow, so yea good job hunting the elusive fucking 'size of a house and about as quick as one' animal.
I was moving domains anyway so this helped me speed it up. Several hundred going to namecheap.
I've liked them better for the past year anyway.

Also this brillant PR stunt has now cost Godaddy an estimated 20,000 customers, which will end up being millions of dollars and ultimately lots of employees. Great job Bob.

Uh, godaddy .com, .net, and .org's are all $7.49 with any of the 3000 promo codes that have been running for years now.
That's new domains AND renewals.
All the $7.49 coupons became $7.99 a long time ago. If you can find a $7.49 coupon that works at $7.49 post it here please.
This is starting to get retarded. I live in GEORGIA.. EVERYONE HUNTS. Of course we all do it because it's fun. But we also take what we kill, have it processed, and eat the hell out of it.
