NYSC Targets Paula Deen in Latest Ad

A New York Sports Clubs (NYSC) ad that ran in the January 25th edition of the New York Times pokes fun at Paula Deen, who recently announced she has type 2 diabetes. A lot of people have been criticizing the celebrity chef for hiding the diabetes for three years before finally announcing it after she made a deal with a drug company. All the while, Deen was continuing to promote unhealthy foods through her television show. It seems that NYSC is non-too-pleased with how the celebrity chef handled the situation.
"Paula, you made a fortune off of fat. Call us if you want to be around the enjoy it," the print ad read. 
Some are arguing that the advertisement is tasteless for joking about Deen's death. Do you think the ad is appropriate?

Ouch! Slap in the face! The truth hurts I suppose.
She may promote unhealthly foods...but who says you have to make and eat her food? If you don't like it, move on.
