Apparently GoDaddy pulled this ad tweaked from the Bud doggy commercials due to uproar over puppy mills. Heh.

Whoever dreamed that ad up was tone deaf beyond belief.
I do think the ad sucked, being just a typical example of today's humor with an "edge". However, I was a bit peeved at some of the leftist, controlling responses that led them to pull it. While some of the tweets mentioned "puppy mills", some also mention "private breeders". Some of these animal rescue nazis think it is "wrong" to buy a dog from a reputable breeder, and that we should all adopt a homeless dog from a shelter or we are bad people, like republicans or something.
I have bought my last three Pembroke Welsh Corgis from breeders I found at the Pembroke Welsh Corgi Club of America. I guess instead of buying a Corgi, I should have adopted one of the many unwanted pit-bulls at the shelter.
In light of viewing this Bud commercial, I am even more disappointed in the GoDaddy commercial. How could they make fun of such a great commercial from Budweiser?
