why do people hate this commercial? at least it gets it out there that the Tibet people are in trouble, while at the same time advertising this company. it's a win win
@JohnnyB719 The restaurant that they're talking about isn't in Tibet, it's in Chicago. And the owner's are neither Tibetan nor are they "people in need".
all this negative attention gets people wondering what Groupon is, then people might find they actually like the company- sounds like they attracted customers just like their marketing team wanted to do.
negative attention can be a pretty good advertising tool
The whining idiots have given groupon more airtime than the commercial would have gotten otherwise. I see nothing offensive in the commercial, and want all those WHINERS who have blown this out of proportion ,to grow the hell up and get a life . I guess the whining idiots who have a problem with the commercial,have no life and nothing better to do but to complain . Enough of these people and their complaining GROW UP.

Poor Tim Hutton. From an Oscar at 20 there's nowhere else to go but down to this disaster at 50.
