Banned Go Daddy Lola Superbowl Commercial

What is offensive about a retired football star transitioning into a career as a successful Internet entrepreneur? That’s the question Go Daddy is asking viewers about the one Go Daddy Super Bowl commercial that was not approved to air in this year’s big game.

“Of the five commercial concepts we submitted for approval this year, this NEVER would’ve been my pick for the one that would not be approved,” exclaimed Go Daddy CEO and Founder Bob Parsons. “This is about a guy who starts an online business and hits the jackpot. I just don’t think 'Lola' is offensive, in fact we didn’t see this one coming – we were absolutely blindsided!”

The 30-second commercial is narrated by Go Daddy Girl Danica Patrick and features a character named “Lola,” who launches a new career as a fashion designer with an online store.

Parsons is revealing “Lola” online to see what the public thinks. “I predict most people will say 'Lola' is hilarious! To critics I would say, we finally produced a Super Bowl commercial that speaks to our core business – helping people be successful online.”

A Focus on the Family commercial has been approved to air in this year’s Super Bowl and sparked controversy because it advocates a politically motivated message. The conservative watchdog organization, Media Research Center, however, defends the Christian group’s commercial saying networks have approved “Go Daddy ads, which typically feature big-breasted women,” and are presumably more offensive than a religious-oriented message.

“Lola is not a ‘big-breasted woman’ – Lola is a big, flamboyant, effeminate, lovable man,” Parsons replied.

The domain name registrar and Web hosting provider purchased slots in the first and fourth quarters of the Super Bowl. Go Daddy’s “Movies” spot has already been selected and approved as one of this year’s Super Bowl commercials, but now Go Daddy needs to declare which other ad it intends to air. Go Daddy Productions shot five different concepts with a variety of endings.

“We’ve accepted we have to go with another option – one that’s been approved and one that is still 100 percent GoDaddy-esque,” Parsons promised, referring to a term the media coined to describe Go Daddy commercials as “fun, edgy and slightly inappropriate.”

Shauna Sand-Lamas Will Join Vivid Girls for the Ultimate Super Bowl Party at Tootsie’s Cabaret

Former Playboy Playmate and international TV actress/model Shauna Sand-Lamas will join the Vivid Girls on Friday, February 5th at the peak of Super Bowl week for a party at Tootsie’s Cabaret in Miami, believed to be the largest gentlemen’s club in the United States

The party is being hosted jointly by Vivid Entertainment, the leading adult movie studio, and Rick’s Cabaret International, Inc. (NASDAQ: RICK) the nation’s premier operator of upscale gentlemen’s clubs. Tootsie’s is part of the Rick’s Cabaret group of 19 clubs.

Tickets to the Vivid/Tootsie’s Cabaret party cost $300 and are available on the Rick's website (ricks.com/tootsies/default.aspx) and at the Tootsie's Cabaret reception desk.

Guests will receive "SWAG" bags filled with Vivid DVDs and other gifts. Ticket holders will have access to both the party in the plush Tootsie’s Cabaret VIP, as well as the rest of the 74,000 square foot, two-level club that features all nude dancing on multiple stages, in private dance areas, plus sky boxes for viewing dancers on the main stage with its 30-foot tall stripper poles.

The party starts at 10 p.m. at the club located at 150 NW 183rd St on the southeast corner of 441 and Miami Gardens Drive.

Shauna, who stars in a controversial sex tape she made with her boyfriend called “Shauna Sand Exposed,” will party with four of the world-famous Vivid Girls, the elite of adult film stars: Savanna Samson, AJ Bailey, Sunny Leone and Monique Alexander. They will greet guests, pose for snapshots and sign autographs as they join up to 300 entertainers from Tootsie’s Cabaret the weekend of the big game at nearby Land Shark Stadium.

A gorgeous blue-eyed blonde, Shauna is the former wife of Lorenzo Lamas of E! Entertainment’s “Leave it to Lamas” reality TV show. She is now helping Vivid market the tape she made for her personal use. “At first I was outraged when I heard that a third party had given Vivid my personal and intimate video, but I finally decided to take control and work with Vivid on the distribution and I’m glad I did.”

“We’re delighted that Shauna will be with us in Miami. She has a loyal following of fans who keep up with all of her exploits and she looks forward to meeting many of them at Tootsie’s,” said Steven Hirsch, founder/co-CEO of Vivid.

“This is definitely shaping up as the ultimate Super Bowl party,” said Ed Anakar, director of operations for Rick’s Cabaret International. “Tootsie’s Cabaret has been called the best strip club in Miami and it’s famous for the beautiful entertainers who perform completely nude, as well as our warm hospitality, great bars and fabulous food service. Everyone will have a great time. We have valet parking for 1,500 cars so we make it very easy for people to get in and out.”

Kentucky Derby Museum Plans for Grand Reopening

The Kentucky Derby Museum has taken the next step toward a comeback from last summer’s serious flood damage, unveiling artist renderings and details of new exhibits planned as part of a $5.5 million renovation.

A completely remodeled Derby Museum will feature exhibits with greater interactivity and technological advances that will “far surpass” what had been offered at the venue, according to executive director Lynn Ashton.

“Everybody wants to have that hands-on experience,” she said.

New museum exhibits will allow patrons to participate in a virtual horse race, call their own Derby “Karaoke style” and learn how to place bets, whether they’re based on superstition or more scientific methods.

The first floor of the reworked space will house displays that focus on aspects of the Derby experience. Exhibits will showcase hats and fashion and will include space where fans share their personal experiences.

The second floor will document the life of a Thoroughbred racehorse from birth to the finish line. It will include stories from owners, trainers and jockeys.
Designer worked on previous renovation

Museum officials have tapped Gallagher & Associates, a Silver Spring, Md.-based architectural firm that specializes in exhibit design, to lead the project.

The firm performed a similar role in the creation of the recently opened Grammy Museum in Los Angeles, the International Spy Museum in Washington, D.C., and the Hong Kong Racing Museum. It also has done exhibit design work for projects at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington.

Bruce Lightbody, director of Gallagher’s San Francisco office, is leading the Derby Museum project. He oversaw the museum’s last renovation in 1999 and 2000 while working for another firm.

Lightbody “is no stranger to Louisville,” Ashton said. “He is no stranger to the museum.”

His experience and knowledge of the facility will help keep work on schedule, she added. The renovation project is on a tight deadline, with a reopening set for April 18 — two weeks prior to this year’s Derby.

Lightbody called the looming deadline “daunting,” but he said “a lot of coordination” among his firm, general contractor Sullivan & Cozart Inc., and local architect Luckett & Farley Architects, Engineers and Construction Managers Inc. will help the project run smoothly.

All of the firms have previous experience working at the museum.

“That’s really saved a lot of time,” Lightbody said. Without that prior experience, “the learning curve would have been too great.”

The Derby Museum has been closed since Aug. 4 when heavy rains caused significant flooding in the area.

The facility, located on the grounds of Churchill Downs, sustained more than $4 million in damage from floodwater and sewage.

Funding for the $5.5 million renovation is expected to come from a grant from the James Graham Brown Foundation Inc., contributions from the Thoroughbred industry and $800,000 from insurance coverage, according to Wendy Treinen, the museum’s director of communications.

The amount of the Brown Foundation grant has not yet been determined, she said.

Workers scrambled the day of the flood to save most items of historical significance at the museum, but all exhibits were damaged.

The museum has been gutted, with all displays, carpeting and interior walls removed.

Most of the new exhibits are being constructed in Virginia and will be delivered to the museum in the coming months, according to Ashton.

“We are going to be so much fun for children and adults alike,” she said.
