When's your first elephant hunting safari planned?

I'm sorry, but what does an ex-CEO's personal hobby have to do with the way the business is run? I'm sure a shockingly high amount of other CEOs have had African safari and have taken elephants, distasteful as that may be.

GoDaddy has offered us a ton of ammo with which to criticize them professionally, so let's not get into personal ad hominem attacks.

First off, it was obviously a joke.

Secondly, maybe you've never seen the video but there's GoDaddy hats and shirts and shit all over it. He's the one who tied the business to it.

Whoops, my misunderstanding then! :)

I also didn't realize GoDaddy was explicitly shown, so I stand corrected on all points.

He also originally posted the video on the GoDaddy blog.

I agree that there are other (more valid) points on which to criticise them.

However, Bob Parson is still chairman and the largest individual shareholder. I can see why people may not want to support him financially [based on principles, he's rich already].
