Meet GoDaddy's Ridiculous Elephant-Killing CEO

By Adrian Chen

Meet GoDaddy's Ridiculous Elephant-Killing CEO

Meet GoDaddy's Ridiculous Elephant-Killing CEO What kind of a guy goes on a safari in Zimbabwe to shoot "problem elephants," then makes a graphic video about it, set to a dramatic Animal Planet-style soundtrack? Bob Parsons: former Marine, self-made millionaire, GoDaddy CEO.

Meet GoDaddy's Ridiculous Elephant-Killing CEO The video, which also features "hungry villagers" butchering the elephant Parsons kills while wearing neon orange GoDaddy baseball caps [Warning: It's graphic footage, so you may not want to watch it if you're squeamish] is a must-see for anyone who thinks all modern CEOs spend their free time jawing on about how to save the world at Davos. It is a monument to the ability of mounds of cash to fill the part of a person's brain where self-reflection once was, and has predictably sparked mass internet outrage.

(Parson's response: "I kind of figured that this might happen. So be it, I'm not ashamed of what I did.")

But Bob Parsons' entire life is equally ridiculous. Here are some facts that might make this safari video make sense:

Parsons stars in a self-help video blog, released bi-monthly on his website. His sidekick in the elaborately-produced videos is a busty blonde named "Leann" who inexplicably breaks into fake gangsta slang at random times. Episode #35 of Parson's blog is called "How to grow STEEL BALLS (even if you're a woman)."
Parsons cannot get enough attention. He loves publicity so much that GoDaddy called off an IPO in 2006 because of a "quiet period" which meant Parsons would have had to cancel his Internet radio show and stay off TV and radio. "For us, the quiet period that came along with the I.P.O. filing has been suffocating," he wrote on his blog.
He once wrote about how he was a fan of abusing Guantanamo Bay detainees because it was "incredibly mild" compared to what the terrorists were up to. Then he backed down after public outcry.
Parsons' YouTube account features a 7-minute trailer to his 2009 wedding video. His wedding video has a trailer. And it looks to have been shot for IMAX.
Parsons lives according to 16 principles, including such revolutionary mantras as "take things a day at a time" and "solve your own problems."
Parsons' Twitter handle is Drbobparsons. But his bio states "Not a real doc." In fact, Parsons received an honorary doctorate of "Humane Letters" from the University of Maryland.
He has a giant diamond stud in one ear.
We predict Bob Parsons will reluctantly apologize for his elephant-killing video, all the while mumbling under his breath about the granola softies trying to take him down.

No Immunity for Gaddafi's Aide

Libyan Foreign Minister, Moussa Koussa, fled to London of "his own free will," according to British Foreign Secretary William Hague. Koussa arrived at a noncommercial British airfield on Wednesday and announced his resignation. British officials say they did not offer Koussa any sort of deal or immunity from justice, and that he is talking to them voluntarily. The prosecutor of the International Criminal Court listed Koussa as one of those who had control over the Libyan security forces suspected of crimes against humanity. Previously, U.S. officials have said they suspect Koussa, a former head of external intelligence, of arranging the 1988 Lockerbie bombing in Scotland, which killed 270 people. However, the focus of his talks will likely be about current issues, including the organization of Gaddafi's forces. The Gaddafi's government spokesman said that Koussa had left Libya for medical care, but had not contacted the government since he crossed the border into Tunisia. Ali Abdussalam el-Treki, a second top Libyan official, defected to Egypt on Thursday.
