Super Bowl ad cut during game
Daniel Drezner notes that Fox Television may have breached a contract with a sponsor by refusing to run an ad during the second half of the game. The ad, for GoDaddy.com, featured a woman whose top bursts while she is testifying in front of a Congressional committee.
GoDaddy had purchased two spots; Fox apparently approved the ad in advance, but later pulled the second when the NFL complained after the first one was run. Thanks to Instapundit for the link. In an unusual burst of good taste, Fox also apparently refused to run spots featuring Mickey Rooney’s ancient nude backside.
