I'm thirsty for some juice sooooo...What's so controversial about 
GoDaddy? Is this a story of a company growing too big for the other 
registrars and a campaign of hate ensuing? Business is "business" after all.

======================================================

I registered spewspew.net with Godaddy.  This was to piss off UUnet.  It was never an active domain.  The registration has expired.

They spam their customers with 5 or 6 emails per week.  Their founder (can't remember his name) is a head case who runs a weekly internet broadcast.  They spam you for that too.  I am still getting their spams, even though I am no longer a customer.

They are located on Hayden Road in Scottsdale.
