GoDaddy is known for making some pretty funny commercials and running them during the Super Bowl each year, but for 2015's Big Game, the website building company has to go back to the drawing boards after a preview of its advertisement caused national uproar! To sum up the commercial, someone is trying to sell a puppy, named Buddy, over the Internet, using GoDaddy to help build the perfect website. People have responded saying this is a form of "puppy mill" and/or animal cruelty, so the commercial has been pulled from Sunday's game.

Watch this now controversial Super Bowl advertisement from GoDaddy right here and see if you agree with all of the backlash:

Meanwhile, GoDaddy is still going to have a commercial during this weekend's Super Bowl, but obviously not this one.

"We've made a tremendous amount of progress over the past two years, advancing the GoDaddy brand as a company that cares a great deal about small business and is in their corner to help them succeed. People increasingly know who we are, what we do and who we do it for," the company's CEO Blake Irving said this week in a post on the GoDaddy blog. "At the end of the day, our purpose at GoDaddy is to help small businesses around the world build a successful online presence. We hoped our ad would increase awareness of that cause. However, we underestimated the emotional response. And we heard that loud and clear."

He added: "The net result? We are pulling the ad from the Super Bowl. You'll still see us in the Big Game this year, and we hope it makes you laugh. Finally, rest assured, Buddy came to us from a reputable and loving breeder in California. He's now part of the GoDaddy family as our Chief Companion Officer and he lives permanently with one of our longtime employees."
