The First Inaugural 2011
Groupon Present April Fools’ Day™ Joke:
Groupon Funnies Up the Founding Fathers!
To celebrate Groupon Presents April Fools' Day™, the owner of everyone's favorite hoax-centric April holiday is pleased to unveil this year's rib-tickling, too-good-to-be-true genuine event. In the spirit of levity, we've given Mt. Rushmore a mirthful makeover.
Hope we didn't ruin your next family's vacation by defacing these dignified American idols. We brought in acclaimed European Rogèr to sculpt the handcrafted, fiberglass mustachioed novelty glasses. Then, our team of helicopters gingerly placed the oversize eyewear right where you'd least expect it—on the faces of our four most frequently carved presidents.
Yes, we really put funny glasses on Mt. Rushmore. Why? Because at Groupon Presents April Fools' Day™, we know a good prank when we do one.
