You can thank Sandy

"You can thank Sandy"  A friend got a marketing E-mail for some webinar saying that due to an overwhelming demand from people affected by Hurricane Sandy the discount registration period was being extended. The E-mail opened with large, bold type "You can thank Sandy." Shortly thereafter, he received another E-mail from that company apologizing for the insensitive tone of the first E-mail. E-mail #2 also added that appropriate steps were taken to make sure this would never happen again.  I have to say that I didn't find the Sandy reference insensitive and I certainly hope that appropriate steps doesn't mean that someone lost a job. How do other people feel about this? Given that the current Noreaster is being referred to as Son of Sandy is anyone really offended?

I'm not going to cry because of a soap opera. I'm not going to cry because of a soap opera. I'm not going to cry because of a soap opera. I'm not going to cry because of a soap opera. I'm not going to cry because of a soap opera.
