Groupon is a group discount business. In conjunction with retailers they make discounted offers, using social networking, and if sufficient people sign up, the offer will then apply.
They ran a tasteless ad to coincide with the Superbowl for which they have received a lot of criticism. The ad trivialises the Chinese occupation of Tibet in order to promote a restaurant selling Tibetan curries. Over 1 million Tibetans have died under Chinese rule. Imagine the outcry if an ad made light of 9/11 in order to sell American hotdogs and you get the picture.
By the way, who is Timothy Hutton?
