You already shouldn't be using GoDaddy, so there's another reason

I still remember how their jerk founder "saved" a village in Zimbabwe from a "problem elephant", and they have basically advertised their business using boobs for years. And that's besides all the scummy actions and questionable security practices of GoDaddy.

I wish that commenters on the Internet generally, and HN in particular, would lay off "murder and jaywalking" arguments.

If Gandi advertised with lewds, well. People would complain and they would probably stop.

The "scummy actions and questionable security practices" are both necessary and sufficient to persuade the informed reader not to patronize their services. Bringing in additional minor peccadillos weakens the argument by bringing out everyone who likes tits in ads.

No one likes the kind of bad behavior GoDaddy is known for.

This comment might seem a bit out-of-place if you don't happen to use showdead.
