Is Ella Koon the hottest Go Daddy Girl yet?

Domain Registrars
Go Daddy has added yet another spokesmodel to its small army of Go Daddy Girls.
Ella Koon is a Hong Kong-based singer/actress/model described by Go Daddy CEO Bob Parsons thus: “She’s smart, she’s talented and she knows how to leverage the Internet.”
Those are the three most important qualities in any woman, as I’m sure you’ll agree.
Koon’s primary responsibilities will be promoting the registrar’s brand specifically to the Asian market by looking pretty and wearing a tight T-shirt.
I bet shes good at leveraging online….
Well, she is going up against Danica Patrick and Jillian Michaels…. isn’t that being put in a foot race against Chris Farley and Andre the Giant?
Good move for Asian market.
