Groupon stopgap ad manages not to offend

Groupon has released a new commercial that fails to displease, disgust, repel, offend, nauseate or otherwise be repugnant to any single ethnic group whatsoever—or any group at all, really. This is a fresh new tactic for the daily-deals company following its disastrous Tibet spot with Timothy Hutton on the Super Bowl. The new ad (created, like its predecessor, by Crispin Porter + Bogusky) features a hand flipping a daily calendar, with goofy little sketches showing you all the exciting new things you might try, at a discount, through Groupon.
