Travis Okulski, the senior writer and second name on the masthead for Gawker Media's car blog Jalopnik, compared the cold snap that has struck the East Coast with the Holocaust.
"I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say that this cold weather is far worse than the Holocaust," Okulski wrote on Twitter at 9:41 a.m. on Thursday.
After making light of the murder of millions, it was business as usual for the car writer: At 10:39 a.m., less than an hour later, Okulski followed up with a self-promotional link to a video of himself discussing the recent multi-million dollar sale of the original Batmobile.
Neither Gawker nor Okulski responded to FoxNews.com emails, but within an hour of writing that comment -- and quickly getting blowback from a handful of offended followers -- Okulski deleted his comment.
