The elephant in the room may be GoDaddy's historical total disregard for security, but hey, those pesky elephants won't shoot themselves!

GoDaddy CEO's graphic elephant hunt video sends his clients flocking to competitors, and helps raise $20,000 for elephant charity:

I know, that's exactly why I wrote "historic", but the current owners gave him an enormous amount of money, didn't clean up their act, and GoDaddy CONTINUES to be terrible.

The security breach we're discussing didn't happen 14 years ago, as you well know. They have a long and infamous track record and toxic corporate culture and unethical business practices and willfully misleading negligence of security that show no signs of improving.

So charming that you're on such a familiar first name basis with a piece of shit like Bob Parsons. Are you friends? Are you actually carrying the water for GoDaddy, or think it's ok to murder elephants and run incredibly sexist commercials while never giving a shit about security or customers? Yuck.
