I'm glad he did this interview since it is putting faith back into investors and the general public. It's pretty apparent that he is looking to do more than just sell daily coupons or sellout to a company offering him billions of dollars. He seems genuinely interested in doing something good with Groupon. Though he still has a ways to go, I give him respect for doing it for the right reasons.
That last paragraph seems far more damning of the author than of Mason -- they're so disappointed that he doesn't have any obvious status symbols and he's riding off on a moped.
Good for him, and shame on them, for equating consumption with success.
(he should really wear a helmet, though!)
Why?
