A new Bob Parsons travel video is now online…but no animals lose their lives.
A new Bob Parsons travel video has surfaced, but this one won’t be as controversial as his Zimbabwe ones.
Parsons traveled to Haiti with his wife Renee to see how the $1 million he has donated since the earthquake was being used. The money was donated to Hope for Haiti, an efficient charity that spends 95% of its money directly to support those in need.
Parsons posted the video on his blog. It’s fairly moving to see the troubles people of Haiti have just trying to get basic medicine and education.
The Go Daddy founder says the trip and video have nothing to do with the controversy surrounding his recent elephant hunting in Zimbabwe. From a company press release:
Bob rejects any suggestion the trip was designed to negate recent condemnation over his March visit to Africa. “The idea that I did this to counter any criticism is nonsense,†Parsons declared. “This trip was planned months ago, our donations were delivered well before my Zimbabwe trip and the people who know me will tell you, I don’t really care what people think about me … I do care about using what success I’ve had to help those less fortunate.â€
Go Daddy is running a “Round Up for Charity” program in which customers can round up their purchases to the nearest dollar and have that portion donated to Hope for Haiti. Go Daddy matches all of the round up donations.
Domain Registrant says
I think Bob Parsons needs to keep focused at GoDaddy as a company rather than waisting time in other countries that have no chance of even helping out GoDaddy or the US.
Also, GoDaddy Bob Parsons needs to re-address release his “60-day” transfer lock and allow MAJOR DOMAIN HOLDERS to be able to make modifications without having to impose a transfer lock, especially when GoDaddy sends ICANN NOTICE UPDATES for domain holders who have CORRECT INFORMATION, but wants the DOMAIN HOLDER to make a modification thinking that the registration(s) needs to be updated, when in REALITY, GODADDY wants you to just update the REGISTRATION to RESET or ESTABLISH a 60-day TRANSFER LOCK. This just further delays the ability for a person who needs to transfer the domain out, so GoDaddy can hold your domain hostage.
Domain Registrant says
Bob Parsons purposely posting up “Elephant Hunting” video(s) and bragging about Haiti suggests he is willfully and intentfully controlling mother nature’s role in naturally allowing people to comment about his actions. Why does he need to SHOW IT OFF to other people? Is there a slight indication he’s doing it for MEDIA ATTENTION towards GODADDY?
Domain Registrant says
I think regardless, Bob Parsons is a great guy, but if he maintains responsibility as a CEO, he needs to do what a CEO is doing for the benefit of customers, not PISSING OFF customers.

Domain Registrant,
If you dont like Go Daddy then dont use them. People complain all day long about Moniker, GoDaddy, eNom, Network Solutions and more – find a registrar that works for you and move on.
Most MAJOR domain holders have NO signficance to a company’s bottom line since
(a) they complain about prices
(b) they purchase NO additional add on services
(c) they are loyal only the parking companies who pay the most (often not registries)
(d) rarely sell names within the average range
If I was a registrar I could care less about the MAJOR domain holders and focus on the other 99% of people who you can actually make money off.

@DomainRegistrant Who are you?

Does the video have any AC/DC music? Otherwise it is just not Classsic Bob.
Michele says
ALL registrars have to send WHOIS reminder notifications once a year as per the RAA.
It’s not something that GoDaddy or ANY other registrar have any choice about.

Round Up for Charity: Round em up & “shoot em dead” Bob
“Scummiest CEO of the Year” Bob Parsons (accord: PETA records), from GoDaddy.com partly owned by Big Daddy, is no humanitarian. Despite his focus on efforts to buy great publicity, (A half million bucks) of his investors fusion money to Haiti (within itself a noble cause), it’s clear the faltering DNR & Internet host company chief does not have a brain on his head. He’s hopeless
It’s overly obvious. It’s still clear. There’s only so many times you can drag your investor friends through the muddy waters & expect a pat on the back. When you RIP off your customers & extort them in universal immoral business conduct, heads will roll. Surrounding your corrupt business with politicians like Jim Lane (R) (Mayor of Scottsdale, AZ), Jan Weber (Gov of the State of Arizona) & Birther idiot Senator Steve “the joke” Smith may bring temporary shelter from the rain, but not A concrete solution as required .
Bob Parson states ” …I don’t really care what people think about me…”. It’s a shame. Cause your talking about your investors, customers, potential customers & profit Bob. Anyhow, it’s obvious you don’t care. That’s Y! things are the way they are & you lose. Get on the bus with Morgan, otherwise get off, it’s the final destination.
If your Public Relations firm haven’t told you yet Bob, get “InterPublic” for real help. It’s not just your competitors taking you down, it’s your own kind, your own ally, because you don’t care. We all do. We care about race cars, Ford, Honda, Chevy, Dodge, Nascar. We care about the future reputation of models like Danica Patrick. We care about the reputation of future NFL stars. We care about the big corporate banks like Fargo, Chase, US Bank. We care about the little independent business guy, the type you screw over with a sucker punch Bob. Business requires trust. We also care about the elephants in Zimbabwe. You don’t!
Sorry Bob. Your animal abuse & treatment of fellow human being disqualifies you as a humanitarian. It’s Paramount. Do not pass Go! Do not Collect $200.00
Round Up for Charity. Round em up & shoot em dead Bob cause your a fake & you shake your voice on the phone!

i know a few good men who really served for the United States Marines Corps during Vietnam, & they r stand up guys, but GoDaddy.com & Bob do not smell like real UCMC; they smell like desperate con artists. Bob may b telling lies
