Groupon received a nasty gram

I received a Groupon email today showing a Hot Air balloon ride.  I click on the ad thinking this might be something relaxing for DH and I to do.  At the bottom of the page there is this section called "Groupon says:  How to annouce your pregnancy"  It was a list of outrageous ways to make the annoucement.  I guess it was suppose to be funny.

Just recently I personalized my groupon account so I wouldn't get any baby related ads.  I listed my interests as being travel, spas, food.  that type of thing.  Why, oh why does this crap have to show up everywhere? 

I sent groupon an email and told them to use better judgement and filters next time.  Did anyone else see that today?  Maybe I"m just being oversensitive.

    I'm sorry that happened to you.  How frustrating, especially since you just changed your settings. Hope it doesn't happen again.

    How does hot air balloon ride = pregnancy announcement? I think of it as being more of a romantic thing - it has nothing to do with babies... What are they thinking?

    I guess they just lost a sale!
