Social discount service Groupon has seen tremendous growth in its short life, though some have questioned the long-term viability of its business model. However, according to CEO Andrew Mason, they're built to last - like Wolverine. Speaking to 60 Minutes' Lesley Stahl, Mason said "We’re like Wolverine and our skin has been melted off, and we’ve had Adamantium fused onto our bones."
He makes the Wolverine comparison at about the 10:50 mark below, amidst flurries of accusations of everything from being thin-skinned to running a con operation. Well, Wolverine's had his rough patches with the critics too - X-Men Origins: Wolverine, anyone?
