Who cares about the reservations, you became my most hated person on the internet today for your crappy non responsive blog design that doesn't let me zoom on my phone without covering everything with your sidebar.
Pretty cool, now I can waste even more money when I am drunk. Would be cooler if you could use any registrar, but that's really not feasible so I guess eNom is a good place to hold them until they are eligible for transfer. Would appreciate maybe a confirmation step, so you can check if something's available then reply yes or no if you want to spend the dough.
Overall a nice affiliate front end with a value add.
I don't think this will have any tangible effect on GoDaddy's brand except for maybe a slight increase in visibility via the free press you are giving them right this second.
As far as actually shooting the animal, I'm not an African game warden so I can't give any scientific or even remotely educated comment. That being said, the only facts I know are these:
Bob Parsons shot and killed an elephant in a completely legal way, and was so proud of what he did that he had a professional make and edit a video which he then posted on the internet.
The people in the video seem grateful and excited that he has done this. They are also wearing godaddy hats.
This morning, a lot of people who weren't there are passing judgement.
I guess I'm just confused as to the source of the controversy?
