Bob Parsons cruelty to animals

From the video one can notice that he had not only killed the elephant but also outfitted everyone in the area with bright orange GoDaddy baseball caps.

After the mounting pressure from PETA, Bob Parsons on his blog stand by his decision of killing elephant. Here is the snippet of what he had written in his blog.

I stand by my decision to help African villagers. I believe elephant management is beneficial. I have the support of the people who really matter in this situation, the families of Zimbabwe โ€” people who need help to survive. I have the support of tribal leaders and the government.

In response to the video, many domainers around the world have to decided to move their domains to another domain registrar’s. Here is some of the screen shots from some of the popular domain forums.

    recently godaddy launched a promo of 1.99$ domain registration and transfer in response to namecheaps promo

    But sad it is expired now

  5. winray

    Whatever it is these prom things are nothing more than a market tactic

    Do u really think that namecheap loves animals?

    Answer is NO

    They just want to grab the market share of godaddy ๐Ÿ˜›

    @ weren

    some people on other forums are saying that you need to call them for this 1.99$ promo code

  7. winray

    @ dolly

    I had also heard that this is available for executive members of godaddy only

    • leo

      hello winray

      Can you explain who is executive member of godaddy and how to become one

      • Hello LEO

        Truly speaking i don.t know who actually are these executive members. I have also heard it from some forum board.

        As far as my guess is concerned they are those members with 1000 of domains or they are those members who are using their domain discount club

        hope it helps

      • kinh

        Hello Sir

        My suggestion would be to go and ask godaddy itself

    @dolly

    the promo code jumbo seems to be working fine for some people at namepros forum but most the others are saying that they are unable to make it working

    • winray

      +1 to internet.bs

      very easy to use control panel
      Nice prices
      and no BS emails

    • Rajiv Gupta

      i will recommend internet.bs to all the domainers out there

      they are smaller than many other registrars but no one can actually beat their prices

      • directi is slightly expensive than internet.bs

        please note that on internet you will find lot of people who are not satisfied with the control panel provided by directi.They say that it is one the complex panel among all the domain registrars.

        But if you ask me they got the best the domain control panel in the industry.Easy to use and effective for newbies

        +1 for directi also

    • winray

      I think it is quite simple to become a domain registrar these days.

      Simply apply for a reseller account at resellerclub com

      After applying you need to apply for icann certification

    The news of 1.99$ jumbo code is first originated in namepros.com forum

    Now the OP of the same thread is saying that he along with his friends(on the same forum) is actually making April fool of other members

    So there is no thing like this promo at all.

    So Bob parson is still a moron

    ๐Ÿ˜†

    Here is the thread in case you want to see
    here is the link

    • billa

      the person who is making april fool of other member must be bs grunt

      BTW when is godaddy going to response this attack by namecheap.

      though i had transferred 10 of my domains to namecheap from directi

    • Hello all of you

      Bob parsons recently edited his video and relaunched it again

      I think he is regretting

      Also if you want which scenes are edited than take a look below

      Scenes are:

      1. removed the part where he is standing by the elephant holding his gun

      2. also removed the part in which villagers are wearing godaddy cups

      • What scumbag is this bob parsons?

        He now wants to become a goody goody bot in the front of whole world

        Stupid a$$ hole

    • I will agree with you but this topic is quite different from the contributions of bob to the internet. It has nothing to do with accomplishments by bob

  10. biko

    its quite sad that GD haven’t released a single special offer as a response to namecheap

    Bob is a boob – I mean c’mon…look at the insult to the american intelligence with his commercials…that was on the edge…but shooting a FEMALE elephant…doctoring your video to edit out the gender of the elephant and claiming that the mega-dollars you spent to fly out there…with your clan shoot an elephant when you could’ve just used the money to improve the villagers lives and feed them for at least a year…and then claim you helped them? Yeah…another insult to our intelligence…guess what? Nobody’s buying it…you went too far Bob and you alienated a lot of people who care about animals and wildlife…we may not be PETA but we care enough to know your actions are heinous!
