Michelle – the local newspaper in Arizona apparently thinks this is newsworthy (although it’s a week late on the story)

“I can imagine that a company that uses soft porn to peddle domain names has a fairly liberal approach to workplace sexual conduct.”

Or a very strict one because it knows this sort of thing would come up.

Godaddy lowers the bar in a number of ways.

I can imagine that a company that uses soft porn to peddle domain names has a fairly liberal approach to workplace sexual conduct.

John Berryhill,

You took the words right out my mouth.

“I am surprised you consider this news.”

We live in a country where the political opinions of a beauty pageant contestant remains “newsworthy” for days. The bar is quite low for what counts as news.

Absent this particular news, GoDaddy is a public purveyor of soft porn on television. But that is not news either.

A company that uses mammary glands to sell domain names being accused of sexual harassment?

Boy, nobody could see that coming.

Isn’t it the requirement of the free press to report news worthy information – positive or negative?
And, to present the facts they are able to establish.

Services like DNW, DNJ, DNN and others act as our industry “free press”.

Godaddy was quoted presenting their position.

Companies of their size have claims like this all of time.

All you need is one bad manager (out of hundreds) to cause the problem. Or, one bad employee that wants to get back at the company.

I don’t feel Andrew is slamming GD.

And, this article does not change my opinion of GD one way or another.
