Surprise: using "zany" internet deal services like Groupon leads to eating in restaurants you don't even like and doing stuff (discount colon cleansing anyone?) you never wanted to do in the first place. Americans are preconditioned to snatch up a deal, no matter how pointless. But in browsing Groupon's site for some answers we stumbled upon Clicky, the "Value Wheel," that could score you as little as $5 and as much as $100 in savings off already rock-bottom Groupon deals. The catch? Groupon gets the keys to your identity. Gotta love those 1:1000 odds!
Rolled out in January, Clicky is a "marketing instrument" that ranks along the Congratulations You Won! guy and the Single Mom Makes $500 An Hour ploy. We enjoy a good click ourselves, and attempted to give Clicky what his wet, nauseating eyes (that's so "zany!") clearly wanted, when we received this prompt from Facebook.
Sure you can spin for savings, but may Clicky first
Does Clicky also want to use its lubricated, titanium arms to give us a lye bath and shove us into a time machine so that we can watch it impregnate our mother with spa discounts and free desserts and look on as our family rears Chrissy, the deal-spewing automat they always wanted?
We debated submitting to Clicky's advances for journamalism, but decided to go with the Thai lunch special we saw on a chalkboard, outside, walking on the sidewalk.
