In the tuck-in deal, only available in Chicago, Groupon employee Ben Kobold will tuck you in for $100. Tuckees need to be at least 18 years old.

“Once your body temperature has fallen and your breathing has slowed, Ben and his legally required entourage of two or three companions will slip soundlessly out the front door and into the night,” says the deal’s copy. “He’ll return to his sleeping barracks, where he’ll tuck himself in and whisper his lullabies to himself.”

The deal terms go on to say that Kobold is “disease-free, physically.”

Groupon now worth less than the $6 billion Google offered
http://money.cnn.com/2012/06/04/technology/groupon-stock-6-billion/
Andrew Mason could probably use a Groupon for a massage, a beer, or some comfort food right about now.
His company's precipitous stock decline continued on Monday, sending Groupon's market cap below the $6 billion that Google offered as a buyout in late 2010.

Good. Anyone who thinks groupon is actually worth $6b is dumb. That includes Google.

At least it's only a 1/2 hit dice monster. If they were sending a goblin to tuck you in it would have more hit points and a lower armor class.

Every local Groupon that's number limited sells out super quick here. The site's obviously popular as hell, so why exactly isn't it worth money?

Does the deal include a happy ending?

I was gonna say "Awwww :wub: ", but the dude has a fucking goatee, and not a warm, greyed, manly one of wisdom. Creepy +1.

Well, I think this started out as a joke but I see they've already sold two.

Because it's based on convincing retailers to sell things below cost. That's not sustainable.

I've heard a couple articles on it, and most business owners don't see results from their groupon participation. People go for the cheap stuff only, and don't become regular customers.

I would think that would be common sense. a ultra cheap coupon is not going to bring in much new business or at all.

groupon is for those that are willing to buy 100 rolls of TP to save %20

no way in hell would i do it if i owned a business. especially now that if you do research it shows its a dumb idea for a business.
