I realize copywriting is hard work. Personally I can’t imagine churning out words about another Italian restaurant Groupon day after day.

But mentioning an infectious disease while trying to sell me pasta? Groupon, you have GONE TOO FAR!

Hunger, unlike ambulance sirens, meningitis, and restraining orders, is not something you can safely ignore. Answer the mighty call of a bellowing belly with today’s Groupon: for $59, you get a pasta meal for two at Salute!, located in Midtown (up to a $118 value).

Mentioning meningitis doesn’t make me want to buy discounted pasta, ok?
