GoDaddy Mashing: Oooh Weee!

Today we utilized a one column mash up method in order to tussle with the scripting of a banned Super Bowl commercial from GoDaddy.

This method deviates from the two column method where audio and video elements are separated to their own sections. In the single column method both elements are combined into one easy and readable format geared towards the world of web 2.0.

It unfortunately is not surprising that this commercial is banned. The ad reflects not only GoDaddy but also the NFL. GoDaddy's commercials have always been a little strange and unique...



...but Lola was apparently too over the top?
