ABC has rejected nine versions of GoDaddy's proposed Super Bowl ad on the grounds that it is too racy, MediaPost reports. GoDaddy has a verbal agreement with ABC to air a Super Bowl spot, but no contract yet. ABC has rejected an ad that Fox is airing during its coverage of the NFC playoffs, according to Bob Parson, GoDaddy's founder and president. In his blog, Parson wrote that "we will have to decide to either go back to the cutting room floor, or raise the white flag."
