In one commercial, Timothy Hutton says "the people in Tibet are in trouble, their culture is in jeopardy," as pictures of Tibet are shown on the screen. The punchline? It turns out he's talking about a fish curry deal groupon.com offered.
The ad, which debuted during American TV's biggest night in advertising, when spots go for $3 million for 30 seconds, sparked widespread negative reaction on Twitter and Facebook.

It is disgusting to joke about others plight.
China has been systematically destroying Tibetan identity since the invasion (1959)
