Weber Grills apologizes for ill-timed meat loaf recipe email

[Joe the Photog]

That's it. I can't people anymore today. I don't know whether to laugh or groan. A grilling company apologized for sending out an e-mail about... grilling. Mind you, it was about grilling meat loaf just hours after Meat Loaf died, but come on!b Maye the best comment would have been "No, I won't do that" and just move on.

“At the time we shared this recipe with you, we were not aware of the unfortunate passing of American singer and actor Mr. Marvin Lee Aday, also known as Meat Loaf,” Weber said. “We want to express our deepest apologies for this oversight and for any offense this email may have caused.”

The company based in Palatine, Illinois, offered its condolences to Aday’s family and fans, signing off as “The Weber Family.”

I think Meat Loaf would have enjoyed the irony.

Timing is everything.

RIP, Meatloaf. Your Love By the Dashboard Lights was unforgettable.

And RIP Louie Anderson, who we also lost today.

How is it an oversight that Weber (maker of grills) published a recipe for meat? I understand that in today's world of effeminate males some Twittidiot would have been offended (despite not even knowing who Meat Loaf was) but come on.

Weber, there was nothing to apologize for. Meat Loaf would have enjoyed the irony... and the meat loaf recipe.

Who cares. Best people and corporations stop apologizing for things that need no apology.

It's "Paradise by the Dashboard Light".

RIP, Meat Loaf.

I hate to say.. it but I never really liked Meat Loaf all that much. Probably because I never did like Meat Loaf all that much.

Yeah, sounded like a bad opera singer. And I hate opera. Not crazy about meat leaf either.

Beat me to it.

Anyone whose stage persona is associated with a blue plate special doesn't get bent out of shape over **** like this.

What Weber ought to do is apologize for their wildly overpriced grills.
