"Wow, this is fucking offensive.
"Millions of jews were murdered through starvation at Auschwitz... but that doesn't mean I can't enjoy this GREAt brisket at Katz's Delicatessen, thanks to Groupon!"
I actually used to like Groupon. Fuck off now. Use Living Social, its better anyway."

So dramatic. Give me a break. It's just not funny and as others have said, it's in poor taste. It's hardly earned itself this kind of reaction.
That said, boy would I hate to be Groupon right now.
The general consensus almost everywhere is that the ad was in extremely poor taste, which I agree with.
