Today’s Groupon Christmas Special for The Netherlands, for the fanatic who has everything: ride a war tank for 45 minutes. And yes, it is being promoted as a “Christmas Special”. Because nothing says peace on Earth like driving a tank.

(It is in an enclosed space, however, I dread to think the kind of people who might be attracted to this deal. It did give me hope that so far they haven’t sold any).

EDITED TO ADD: I just watched the YouTube video that Groupon embedded to promote this deal. Good grief. It’s being sold as the ultimate fantasy to go bomb shit around.

For the past decade and a half I have been making all my content available for free (and never behind a paywall) as an ongoing practice of ephemeral publishing. This site is no exception. If you wish to help offset my labor costs, you can donate on Paypal or you can subscribe to Patreon where I will not be putting my posts behind a lock but you'd be helping me continue making this work available for everyone. Thank you.  Follow me on Twitter for new post updates.
