Go daddy supported some of the really awful internet censorship bills. They backed off due to public pressure, but they are generally on the wrong side in internet fights.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Made coffee and didn't put the coffee mugunder the drip, and I think that we all can agree that a receptacle is an important part of the coffee-making process.
I've done that before. The worst part is when you're confused as to why there isn't any coffee. I remember that I kept looking at the cup in my hand and the coffee maker and I couldn't figure out what the problem was until I realized that if the cup was in my hand, that the coffee couldn't have dripped into it. Then I saw the puddle on the floor.
Personally, the sexism is enough to make me hate them plenty.
And I hate them for that. But this is to get Danica Patrick and her infuriating bathing suits off of the homepage and get a really funny dude racer on the homepage. He's really awesome.

This, however, overwhelms.
I am sending them email supporting Hinchcliffe for homepage but not publicly supporting them because they are an ass. And saying pretty much that. I might rephrase the ass part.
I hate the bikini ads. But they are really kinda loyal supporters of motorsports so I'd like to not shun them entirely but get them to rethink their positions. In a "I am one person but a lot of one persons can count" way.
I feel like most of the advertising I see is Adsense-delivered and has everything to do with the last thing I Googled and nothing at all to do with the site I'm visiting. But maybe people who aren't signed into Gmail in another tab are seeing site-specific ads?
I've heard from online comic book/RPG fanboys who are offended by GoDaddy's assumption that if it shows them a hot woman stripping, they'll choose its service without factoring in price, reliability, and suitability for their needs.
They'll still watch the ads, but they aren't effective in getting them to spend any money. Perhaps that line of advertising would have better luck if applied to selling swimsuit calendars.
Mine is mostly adsense. Which is funny given the wacky tangents that some of my emails take. Because I go off on tangents like it's an Olympic sport. The ads are like Mad Libs. But it's cute.

A lot of people have tried to get them to rethink their positions - on sexism, on big-game hunting for sport, on internet censorship, on having a business model based entirely on getting you to accidentally sign up for services you don't want or need, on massive usability fails, on encouraging land-grabby speculation markets in domains, on unreliable service, on boneheaded security issues built into the core of their service design ... they really don't give a shit that you want them to rethink their positions.
I don't even have a Gmail account, and all the ads I see seem to be based on my most recent searches and site visits.
... they really don't give a shit that you want them to rethink their positions.
Oh. Then forget them.
I don't love advertisers supplementing my sport that much. If you don't listen, I won't give you eyes or care. They can .. forget .. off. But with the real eff word instead.
I support them that support racing but only when they aren't flashing their ass rashes.

I getcha. When your sport doesn't get basketball and football levels of attention, you want the support it gets to be worth supporting right back.
