I don't recall if Blimpie did advertise on Rush, but since my building is a Faraday cage(all Steel) I can't get radio inside even though I'm less than a mile from the WABC Transmitter .
I only get to listen to Rush if I'm going out and driving which isn't all that often.
I do prefer Blimpie over Subway anyway, but now I can trim that subway option entirely.
Really? They're all over NYC...
Which is why they used it, along with the derogatory term for Americans -- to appeal to the rampant anti-America sentiments in Germany.
Correction accepted. One thing's for sure, they're not for me !
>>Really? They're all over NYC...<<
Must be new then. I havn't worked in the city since 2000 and never saw one on the occasional visit and I don't see any over here in Jersey.
Up in Canada Quiznos uses Don Cherry (famed Hockey Night in Canada personality) as a spokesman.
It is a great country, and we both have our freedom to do as we please.
My concern is that the conservative political movement and free republic doesn't become caught up in petty boycotts and worried about being insulted and disrespected the way the left does. It makes the rest of us as conservatives look bad, "in my opinion." Secondly, it distracts us from the actual issues that are important and are in front of us. Third, it's like the boy who cried wolf and no one takes us seriously when there is an actual insult. For example, making vulgar comparisons between a President's last name and genitalia is offensive, and the outcry was appropriate. "In my opinion" getting huffy about being called a fatty is petty, especially since for the most part it is true.
But on the other hand, it seems that no one else on this forum seems to agree with me so who knows...maybe everybody's still scared of the fat kids.
Chucky Cheese?...
If you haven't tried them yet, do so ASAP. You'll thank me.
Rats! And I liked Subway, too. I guess I'm going to have to stick with Quiznos and Fire House Subs from here on out.
Ok, Subway, this is one less customer. Make that 4 less customers in household. You were too expensive anyway. BTW, anyone who thinks they can't live without Subway's Sweet Onion sauce can easily make it at home (do a recipe search) or use a half teaspoon of Marie's Spinach Salad Dressing on your own homemade 25 cent sandwich and pocket that $5 you saved.
No, it's not that we've "turned into a bunch of whiny, sensitive, girly-man liberals", but that Subway jumped on the diet wagon with Jarod and then with their Atkins wraps so supposedly help their bottom line, um, customer's bottoms. But now they're pulling a Dixie Chick in Germany. Enough is enough. If a company can't support the American people and runs off to foreign countries badmouthing their American customers, then they certainly don't need my money.
That was a misprint. What happened was a group of children at a McD's birthday party were scared by Jaba Moore.
Consumers in a capitalist system are perfectly free to vote with their wallets if they don't like the irresponsible practices of a particular business. People do still have the right to pursue happiness, in case Subway hasn't ridiculed and belittled that, too.
hmmm - we're going to have to rethink this one.
Quinos creepy rats. And not to mention their need of dental attention. I went there once (group majority rule) but never again. Thanks, I'll make my own sandwiches.
For some reason Subways don't do all that well in Philly. ;-)
