Bar Refaeli's GoDaddy Super Bowl Ad: By the Numbers
How many takes? How many seconds? How many tweets? How many dollars? We break down the ad everyone is talking about.
It's the romantic pairing all of America is talking about, but for all the wrong reasons.
Web-hosting service GoDaddy.com's Super Bowl commercial -- in which Israeli supermodel Bar Refaeli kisses deeply, lengthily and quite audibly, a curly headed nerd-type named "Walter" (actually a busy TV and film actor named Jesse Heiman) -- has managed against all odds to crisscross cultural divides and effectively gross out an entire nation.
