Domain seller Go Daddy aired a thirty second ad during Super Bowl XLIII. Two different commercials have been approved, but only one was supposed to air. In a surprise move by GoDaddy, both of the ads were aired. The baseball ad is a parody of a baseball steroid scandal hearing. It features Indy race car driver and Go Daddy spokeswoman Danica Patrick.
Baseball Parody
The 2009 Go Daddy commercial opens with Danica Patrick in a televised trial for the "Major League Enhancement Hearing". Various women with low-cut tops sit behind the bench, each defending that they have "never enhanced". Finally, Patrick proclaims that she has indeed enhanced with the confident turn of her laptop screen to show off her new domain name and website that she purchased through Go Daddy. The accuser of the trial stands up defiantly and shouts "Enhanced, I'll show you enhanced!" and begins to pull apart her blouse. The ad cuts to a black screen directing the viewers over to their official site with unrated content available.
