Screenshot of THE email. I've been a Groupon customer for years. I LOVE getting a great deal on the variety of services and products I consume. when I saw the heading "These Deals are Good for Your Health" I was psyched. I opened the email ready to pounceI was offered the following deals, for my "health": 75% off of Laser Hair Removal
58% off of Brazillian Waxes 70% off of Microdermabrasion 56% off Laser Lipo Treatments 55% off Phytobiodermie Cellulite Reduction 69% off Fractional Laser Treatments To be precise, the "Good for Your Health" promotion email contained all six of the above and two vague offers for discounted "Spa Services," No yoga passes, no dental cleanings, and the "herb enriched detoxifying wrap" didn't even include medical marijuana!it was just a bunch of beauty "treatments" in disguise. That Groupon email was one of the finest most blatant examples of "medicalization" I'd seen in a while. "refers to the practice of redefining a behavior, concern, or practice as a problem to be 'solved' by doctors" Sociologists study the medicalization of all sorts of things, including childbirthing/delivery, misbehavior/ADHD, fatnes s/obesity, and sexual "dysfunction". (My all-time favorite example of medicalization is "hysteria," a catch-all diagnosis that Victorian era physicians treated through "fine gentle massage"... of the lady parts!)
Medicalization isn't inherently bad. I, for one, I'm grateful that a lot of mental health issues are now therapy + doctor things instead of "bad mood" or "just eat" things. But "There's a lot of money to be made from telling healthy people they're sick." I love it when companies solve my problems, but not so happy when they invent them! So I'm pissed off at Groupon.none of the body bits (pubic hair, wrinkles, cellulite) pose any legitimate health risk in their natural state.due to the treatment itself. I enjoy my own beauty routines as much as the next gal.I am angry at bullshit beauty advertising. Women deserve a world in which we are free to express individuality and authenticity through appearance,we would not be so harshly judged for our beauty or our beauty-related choices.in the meantime I'd really appreciate it if Groupon would stop trying to convince us that tearing out our public hair at the root is "good for our health." Underwood In ’16: If Mitt Romney thinks Donald Trump is bad news, he really needs to take a look at President Frank Underwood.
Of all of Netflix’s original series, none is more marquee than “House of Cards,” the political drama starring Kevin Spacey as President Frank Underwood, probably the single most-wicked political leader since Saddam Hussein. Anyone who has watched the three seasons of “House of Cards” so far has seen Underwood lie, cheat, and even kill his was from a Congressional seat to the Oval Office. He makes the current crop of real presidential candidates look look like Boy Scouts…Or, maybe a Girl Scout. Season four of “House of Cards” goes live at midnight Friday with all 13 episodes streaming simultaneously. The launch of the show’s new season finds Underwood in the middle of campaigning for election in his own right; remember, he became president when he created a scandal that caused his predecessor to resign, and it comes at what might be a critical period in Netflix’s history. Despite all the praise and attention Netflix has gotten for its “Making a Murderer,” the video-streaming leader hasn’t been a hit with investors of late.
Since the start of the year, Netflix’s shares have fallen more than 14 percent, to close Thursday at $97.93. In January, Netflix reported strong fourth-quarter results, but many eyebrows were raised about its growth in new U.S. subscribers. Netflix said it added 1.56 million subscribers in the U.S. during the last three months of 2015, but domestic additions were down 18 percent from same period in 2014. The company plans on adding 30 new, original programs this year, and there are concerns about Netflix’s growing expenses related to acquiring and producing more of its exclusive content. Into this scenario comes “House of Cards,” which Netflix needs to attract new subscribers willing to fork over $9.99 a month. Netflix doesn’t release ratings figures, but when the company delivers its first-quarter report, in April, it will probably say something regarding how the latest dealings of the Underwood administration appealed to viewers. And in an election year, those votes are going to count even more toward Netflix’s hopes for success against rivals such as Amazon and Hulu.
Public Or Private?: Just a couple of weeks ago, it was revealed that Tesla Motors Chief Executive Elon Musk bought $10 million worth of SolarCity stock. Musk co-founded SolarCity with two of his cousins and serves as chairman of the solar-panel technology company. It was Musk putting up a public show of faith in SolarCity, which had seen its shares barely rise above the horizon for several months. Now, it looks like there’s a chance that SolarCity might be burning brightly, but in private. Specifically, as a private company. A report that the San Mateo-based company is considering going private was enough to boost SolarCity’s shares by more than 15 percent Thursday, to finish the day at $22.49. Apparently, many people think SolarCity might be better off as a private company, as the solar industry is still having a rough time shining, and investors are very skittish about anything that puts up a speed bump in SolarCity’s business. Like when the company said it would stop doing business in Nevada.
You know, because there’s hardly any sun there… Here’s A Deal They Didn’t Expect: IBM is suing Groupon, alleging that the daily deal company has infringed on the tech-services giant’s patents. IBM said Groupon has been using some of Big Blue’s patented technology for its entire business model, and that despite numerous warnings, Groupon has just kept rolling out its deals without dealing with IBM’s complaints, or compensating IBM for the use of the company’s technology. There’s no word yet if IBM wants to be reimbursed with cash, or Groupon Bucks credits that can be used for massages, Apple earbuds, discounts at local steak houses or other deals from Groupon. Here’s a look at how some leading Silicon Valley stocks did Thursday… Movin’ On Up: In addition to SolarCity, RocketFuel, Rovi, Advanced Micro Devices and Jive Software each rose more than 5 percent on the day. In The Red: NeoPhotonics, Glu Mobile, QuinStreet, Infinera and Viavi Solutions each saw their shares fall by at least 3 percent.
