Go Daddy = Lamest Contrived Controversy Ever

The less said about it the better, but if you want to see what the vivisection of a company's public image looks like, NameWire is a great place to get started:

It's just an inevitable result of applying one of the oldest marketing axioms:

"There's no such thing as BAD publicity."

I've always been amused that the word "ax" appears in "axiom".

To quote one of my favorite bands, Pink Floyd, "Careful with the Axe, (Hey, they're Brits, OK?!?) Eugene".

'Nuff said!
