Yesterday afternoon, Groupon launched a deal for Father's Day wherein you could name your baby "Clembough" for $1000. The deal went like this:

“Groupon, the official World’s Foremost Authority in Baby Naming(TM), will name your child or children ‘Clembough.’ No substitutes or modifications. Spelling non-negotiable. Any attempt to name your child ‘Clembough’ independent of this exclusive Groupon will be recognized by the world as a cheap imitation.”

The offer also says that the company's name, “Groupon” is combination of the words “grout” and “super weapon.” Well-played, Mr. Groupon Cat.
