Colon-hydrotherapy

[Rich Hammett]

It's a DISCOUNT for "colon-hydrotherapy."

http://www.groupon.com/r/uu2910432

"Recognized by Creative Loafing Atlanta readers in 2008 and 2009 for
providing the best colonic, The Nile Wellness Center is a trusted
retreat for clients looking to relieve intestinal distress and
increase their energy levels. During each 45-minute colon-hydrotherapy
session, a certified hydrotherapist sends warm, purified water into
human plumbing to eradicate impacted matter and toxins. "

Please use the link above when you use this discount, as I'll get a
discount on future Groupons. :)

FWIW the skeptics in the UK have been hammering Groupon's subsidiary "MyCityDeal" over there for advertising crap like this by complaining to the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA).  Here are a few of the rulings they've gotten against Groupon:

Coincidentally I wrote a blog post at JREF's blog last night that goes over how the skeptics are using the public complaint facilities of the ASA to make alt-medders lives miserable over there:

Are you proposing some form of group outing to all have our bowels
irrigated together in skeptic togetherness?
