GoDaddy Pulls "Controversial" SB Ad After Animal Rights Groups Bitched About It

Heidi-ho, everyone.
Remember that ad from Budweiser at last years' Super Bowl, with the puppy and horse being best of friends, that made you cry tears of joy, and you hated to admit that? Well, here it is.

The reason I'm showing this, is because GoDaddy.com, the leader of making websites for Mom & Pop stores, and known for its super-steamy ads like this:

So this year, they took it a different direction. Instead of hot women doing sleazy-ass things for horny, parched men to jerk off to on the internet after the game, the ad features a dog on a trunk falling off (thanks to a speed-bump) and looks for the way home...only to get sold by a website.
This is the next big Super Bowl ad to not air on TV.

Sadly, some pussy animal rights groups started yammering on about...something that made the ad unappealing to animal lovers, so a petition on Change.org was made, and over -- signatures were signed, enough to force GoDaddy to remove the ad from the list of planned ads to air during Super Bowl XLIX. And, it's been all over the TV news shows.

I can't understand why anyone would find something wrong with this ad! I mean,
I honestly don't a thing wrong with commercial. I honestly don't. The closest thing in my mind is when the puppy got knocked out of the van and when it got "sold". Yes, those parts are shocking, and I understand the people who do hate those parts, but after the international incidents with "The Interview" and Charlie Hebdo, honestly nothing will shock me anymore for a laugh. Really, nothing.
