Groupon Boycotted over Torture Porn Company Tours

Since the announcement, 5,000 people have pledged to boycott Groupon. According to MIM, Groupon responded by saying that since the torture porn company gives to local youth charities, they feel they are an “active, good community citizen” and will continue to feature them. Groupon also positions the tour as historic because the building that Kink resides in has a historic past in San Francisco.

Kink advertises they have “young sexy teens who are overwhelmed and outnumbered…who need to learn a lesson by multiple men,” women being “bound, whipped, objectified and humiliated. They are immobilized, caged and humiliated as objects,” women “suspended and tied in rope bondage…tormented beyond all reason,” and women “naked, tied up, bound, punished, exposed in public…who are taken to public bars for public humiliation…”

Kink sells porn videos and offers live online torture porn performances. It’s site states that, “Girls are also pulled in and out of cages, their tongues clamped, their bodies pinned, and their arms and legs strapped.”  The business also claims to incorporate “contraptions used in countries such as China for torture” as well as machines, water, metal, wood, electrodes, hooks, needles, and urination, all for the sexual persecution of women and “young teenage girls.”

Has Groupon “sold out” just to make a few bucks at the expense of basic human decency? Given that many of its customers are likely women, promoting torture pornography under the guise of a deal is just a bad business decision. Surely many of Groupon customers are mothers who have daughters – why support a business that promotes harm of females for entertainment? If newspapers and magazines can decline certain advertisers for questionable content, why can’t a website like Groupon?

A special “Boycott Groupon Project” page has been set up at http://bit.ly/HSEzLt. the page offers information on how boycott supporters may also email all top Groupon Executives.
