If Groupon wants to associate their own brand with this kind of image, fine, whatever, I can ignore them easily enough.
But how would you feel as a business owner if you started getting boycotted because the idiotic company that manages your coupon campaigns went out of its way to offend your customer base?
GoDaddy gets away with stupid offensive commercials because companies that use them don't actually have to show an association with them to their own customers. It's kind of hard to run a secret Groupon campaign, though - your implicit approval of their image via your campaign dollars is right out in the open.

- budu3 16y agoI don't think the company handling the campaign went out of their way to offend the customer base. It is must likely that they did exactly what Groupon told them to do. Groupon and their CEO are know for this kind of irreverent humor. It's the image they like to portray.
