I believe we originally have 11 Best Super Bowl XLV commercials, until Groupon decided to unplug their $3 million Tibetan ad.
The Groupon ad showed horrific images of the Chinese invasion and occupation of Tibet in 195. Buddhist temples were destroyed, burned and monks & nuns were beat to death. The Dalai Lama himself was forced to flee over treacherous mountains to safety in India, where he lives in exile. Apparently, Groupon thought this would be interesting parody or satire. But its 30 second ad misses badly and probably just will never have any chances of the entering the Chinese market. Ever.
