My GOD this is killing me. Apparently just because tech companies are advertising during the superbowl we MUST be in the midst of a tech bubble?

WTF?

Groupon is, by all appearances, STUPIDLY profitable. This isn't pets.com raising millions of dollars and blowing it on an ad and aeron chairs. These are solid companies using the biggest ad day of the year to further cement their status.

The Groupon ad was offensive, but it didn't indicate a bubble.

The car that reads your facebook statuses indicates a bubble.

Strawman. No one said anything about this ad being an indication of us being in the midst of a bubble.

I think the article was at least trying to _imply_ that the ads indicate that we are in the midst of a bubble. Otherwise, why would they repeatedly bring up the Super Bowl ads from the last bubble?
