Groupon CEO’s Non-Apology Apology For Super Bowl Ad
A full day after Groupon Inc.’s Super Bowl commercial drew a firestorm of
criticism from angry viewers, founder and Chief Executive Andrew Mason
issued a carefully crafted letter that stopped short of an apology.
In fact, Mason’s letter takes a defensive tone, blasting other commercials
for their “crass objectification of women” while justifying Groupon’s
reasoning for its three commercials, designed as spoofs of celebrity-
endorsed public service announcements. One ad featuring actor Timothy Hutton
that particularly offended viewers–including those in China –touched on
Tibet’s sensitive human rights issues before exulting about discounted
Tibetan fish curry.
About those ads, Mason writes, “We would never have run these ads if we
thought they trivialized the causes – even if we didn’t take them as
seriously as we do, what type of company would go out of their way to be so
antagonistic?” He then points out how these campaigns benefited certain
charitable campaigns. | c******n
发帖数: 4216 | 2 (中国电子商务研究中心讯)美国团购网站Groupon2月6日晚间开始在美国国家橄榄
球联盟2011年度冠军赛中投放的巨额广告多处不恰当涉及西藏内容，近日来该广告在国
内引来多方评论，有评论称该公司“太年轻”。
目前在美国的视频网站仍可以看到这支30秒时长广告。广告中美国好莱坞男演员蒂
莫西-赫顿他说“西藏是世界上最美丽的地方之一，但西藏人民正处于困境中”，“西
藏的文化正在遭到破坏”。此后，画面转为美国芝加哥的一个西藏风味餐厅，一名身穿
藏族服装的男侍者端上一盘咖喱鱼，坐着享用食物的赫顿欢呼着说：“不过，他们还能
做出很香美的咖喱鱼!现在，登录我们的网站，您就可以花15美元吃上价值30美元的西
藏餐……”
有媒体报道称，2月6日晚的决赛观众超过1.11亿人。“美国之音”7日报道称，这
则广告在网络上引来“雪崩般”的愤怒。有网友在Twitter上表示“不再购买团购网的
产品”。
美国有线电视新闻网(CNN)8日称，广告中赫顿的话充满了讽刺意味，这种拿西藏贫
穷做广告的做法引起了中国网民的愤怒，纷纷要求抵制这家公司进入中国市场。报道称
，中国网民在网上称，“团购网想进入中国？做梦吧！”还有人称，团购网将成为“下
一个谷歌”。
创新工场创始人李开复8日下午在微博上表示，“Groupon到底还是个年轻的公司，
这个广告花了3百万美金，但是惹火了所有人。细节Google一下就知道”。
另有评论称“这次GroupOn的钱要打水漂了，赶紧退出中国吧”。此前有媒体报道
称Groupon欲砸重金与腾讯公司在华建立合资公司，开发团购业务。（来源：donews）

发帖数: 4216 | 7 我觉得这个后面有文章的，有时候挣钱不是看它真的值多少钱，而是看怎么样可以让它
看起来值那么多钱的。。。
不过中国他们是很难的。。。团购这个东西，商品的质量是自己不可以控制的。。。在
中国现阶段这个行业，不解决商品质量的问题，必死无疑。。。
不过也许他们根本不在乎中国市场实际如何，只要做得看起来好看就好了。。。不知道，找个机会和他们聊聊看看他们究竟想干什么。。。
呢？

发帖数: 1301 | 8 Groupon announced on Thursday that it is pulling its controversial Super
Bowl commercials
from the air.
In a blog post, Groupon CEO Andrew Mason apologized for the ads, which many
said were offensive--especially the one that aired during the Super Bowl,
which featured actor Timothy Hutton talking about the plight of the Tibetan
people before unexpectedly shifting gears and boasting that he could still
save money on Tibetan restaurants, thanks to Groupon.
"Our ads offended a lot of people," Mason wrote. "Tuesday I posted an
explanation, but as many of you have pointed out, if an ad requires an
explanation, that means it didn't work."
In the explanation, Mason defended the ads, saying they were actually meant
to bring awareness and raise money for the various issues they mentioned (
other spots talked about the Brazilian rainforest and whales). But that
stance clearly was not enough, causing Mason to go further.
"We hate that we offended people, and we're very sorry that we did - it's
the last thing we wanted," Mason wrote on Thursday. "We've listened to your
feedback, and since we don't see the point in continuing to anger people, we
're pulling the ads...we thought we were poking fun at ourselves, but
clearly the execution was off and the joke didn't come through. I personally
take responsibility; although we worked with a professional ad agency, in
the end, it was my decision to run the ads." | c******n
