Today's Worst Groupon of the Day

$50 for a Narrated, GPS-Guided GoCar Tour ($103 Value)

Hey, ever wanted to feel like a complete fucking idiot? I guess you could wear a WWE t-shirt or watch an episode of "Two and a Half Men," but what if you wanted to get some fresh air and see some sights at the same time?

Ever feel like tooling around town in a banana-yellow plastic box with a lawnmower engine while wearing a helmet and trying to pretend people aren't laughing at you?

Then Groupon has a deal for you.

We may be smiling, but our souls are dying.


That's right! For only $50, instead of $103, you can be one of those people! VROOM VROOM! It has a racing stripe. You have finished First in the Please Kill Me 500.

(Incidentally, in case you haven't heard, Google is in the process of buying Groupon for FIVE BILLION DOLLARS. I am not fucking kidding. FIVE FUCKING BILLION DOLLARS. I mean, obvi people like Groupon and it's a big success all around and YAY LOOK WE GOT 20 CUPCAKES FOR $5 and whatnot, but JESUS FUCKING CHRIST $5,000,000,000?!!?! WHAT THE FUCK.)

(So at first I was like "Awww, I shouldn't make fun of plucky little Groupon, but FUCK THAT. Now the founder of Groupon who's probably 24 years old and was born after Scooby-Doo went off the air is going to be filling his hot tub with $100 bills and Cristal and Thai hookers.)

Now, when I see someone in a GoCar - which isn't very often, since I'm rarely in the Fisherman's Wharf area, except when I need to pick up an "Alcatraz Mental Ward" sweatshirt or eat at Bubba Gump's - I usually resist the urge to cut them off and see how a GoCar fares against an American-made bumper, but I can't guarantee that all drivers will be so charitable.

(SIDE NOTE: Have you ever looked at the list of stores in Pier 39? HOLY SHIT. "Lefty's, the Left Hand Store"! 2 different magnet stores! "WE BE KNIVES"!!!! The mind reels.)

This has been your Worst Groupon of the Day.

I once pulled up to one of those GoCarts (on my bike at a red light at Arguello and Geary) and it only made sense to strike up a convo with the drivers. They said they loved San Francisco! But they seemed really stressed out by keeping up with the totalitarian directions.

Btw, there are many in the Presidio-- no need to go to Pier 39 to observe them... although I'm standing up for any southpaws here that may be interested in that store that I've never actually been to despite being a left-handed San Franciscan. My bf said he has seen them there PUSHING THEIR GOCART UP THE HILL. Him not catching this on video is still a sore subject with me.

In re: Two and A Half Men: United/Continental plays episodes of this show. Watching it on tiny TVs on interminable trans-Pacific flights in the company of the Ambien Walrus is quite the experience, especially when you start thinking Charlie Sheen's brother is Jack from Will and Grace. Other than that, there is no excuse.

Groupon is the web equivalent of those stupid "Entertainment" books of the '80s that were like $100 and full of coupons for crappy places people only went to because they had a coupon from that stupid book they paid $100 for.

And OMG, apparently, the Entertainment books still exist: http://www.entertainment.com/discount/home.shtml.
