They are freaking commertials! If your kids are old enough to watch the super bowl, they can watch the dang commertials!

I don't have children, but the the GoDaddy ad with Danica Patrick certainly sparked discussion at my Superbowl party. When the ad finished, a few guys asked with unbridled curiosity: WHAT is GoDaddy? Though I admit that I did chuckle just a little bit at the commercial, I also think that showing Patrick as a sex object alone undermines the fact that she is the first female in history to win the IndyCar race.

My big complaint: I wish Patrick were in a commercial that highlighted her success as opposed to standing in a shower oblivious to the testosterone-charged geeks watching over her.
