GoDaddy Kiss Ad Generates Super Bowl Twitter Chatter

By Cynthia Herbert :: 9:21 PM

One of the more controversial ads during tonight’s Super Bowl 47 was the GoDaddy spot at the beginning of the 1st quarter.

Featuring Israeli supermodel Bar Refaeli and actor Jesse Heiman in a deep french kiss for most of the 30 seconds, the ad was quick to elicit a lot of response on Twitter – 50,000 Tweets in just about 20 minutes.

It was a controversial ad – not a new thing for the web hosting company, of course – but much of the chatter seemed to focus on the ick factor of the kiss itself.

Below is a chart showing the quick uptake of Twitter conversations about GoDaddy after the commercial.
