Godaddy CEO Mr. Bob Parsons is facing immense criticism over his video of killing an elephant in Zimbabwe. Godaddy CEO who is famous for giving business tips on his personal blog is being hated all over the internet for what he had done in Zimbabwe.
Bob Parsons on his twitter account “http://twitter.com/DRBOBPARSONS” tweets about “hunting a problem elephant in Zimbabwe”. Below is the screen shot of the same.
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.

Also Namecheap.com, a competitor of godaddy in response to this incident have released a special discount on domains for their customers so that they can move their domains from GoDaddy. Here is the screen shot of the message posted by Namecheap.com


Really!!!!
Parsons and his girls sucks
OK bob is quite rich but it doesn’t give him license to kill innocent animals.
I already hate his half nude girls
that sucks of bob parsons
he is a idiot scumbag with all sort of naked girls circling him all the time
BS
Peta is actually suggesting him to use his wealth to install electric fences Zimbabwe for farmers
recently godaddy launched a promo of 1.99$ domain registration and transfer in response to namecheaps promo
But sad it is expired now
@ rajiv gupta
that promo was surely a april fool ๐
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 ๐
@ weren
some people on other forums are saying that you need to call them for this 1.99$ promo code
@ dolly
I had also heard that this is available for executive members of godaddy only
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
Hello Sir
My suggestion would be to go and ask godaddy itself
bs moron!
@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
internet.bs all the way
+1 to internet.bs
very easy to use control panel
Nice prices
and no BS emails
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
what about directi?
any +ve review for tham
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
@rajiv
thx for the quick reply
how to became a domain registrar?
nice to see a competitor for godaddy
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
๐
Here is the thread in case you want to see
here is the link
http://x2b.net/lol
that really sucks
wtf i am trying that code for entire day
lol
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
but i got that working ๐
transferred out my all domains from godaddy to namecheap
strange godaddy till didn’t respond to namecheap
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
Thanks for updating us rajiv
What scumbag is this bob parsons?
He now wants to become a goody goody bot in the front of whole world
Stupid a$$ hole
scumbag but why
godaddy contributed enormously to the internet.
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
its quite sad that GD haven’t released a single special offer as a response to namecheap
bcoz godaddy sucks to a great extent
and BTW take the benefit of namecheap’s coupon
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!
boob……lol
Completely agree
