    Don’t do it Groupon! They will chew you up and spit you out, just like they did to Double Click and others. Google sucks!

    Let’s not forget that taxpayers of Illinois just GAVE AWAY $13 million dollars to Groupon for “job creation”. Just gave it to them.

    And now they’re being bought out for billions of dollars.

    Money well spent, Pat Quinn!!

    Lets not forget that taxpayers have “GAVE AWAY” trillions to Haliburton for the stimulus projects known as “Iraq” and “Afghanistan”. Just.gave.it.to.them.

    Money well spent, America!
