Is this real?
If so, anyone down for a Whoopi style letter writing campaign and boycott?
Scared that they might run out of Big-Macs.
"Adding Subway to the 'never give them another dime' list"
How incredibly stupid of them to do this. This will cause them to lose a great deal of money and a mountain of goodwill. After all, sandwiches are not exactly difficult to make......
Now it's official. I used to not really like Subway all that much. Now I have a good reason not to like them at all.
Too bad their only direct sandwich competition in the NYC metro area is Blimpies. Hmmm, there's gotta be a joke in there somewhere.
Yeah yeah, Americans are all fat and stupid.
The Americans that win all those Olympic gold medals, cure diseases, go to the Moon, and serve in uniform are just anomalies, right?
And let me add that the biggest McDonalds I ever saw was in Schweinfurt, Germany- 2 floors, each floor huge, with its own garage, and the place was open until 4 AM.
Very expensive mistake by Subway, I suspect.
I will be doing my part to insure it.
How bout you?
Another message goes out ... duly FReeped.
Freeped; and I'm going to post this conspicuously around the University where I work. Students eat at Subway a lot. After seeing this, my guess is they'll be eating there a lot less.
Subway has lousy sandwiches. You need a microscope to find the meat, while veggies are piled on to overflowing.
If you want a vegetable sandwich it's the place to go. For a real sub at a chain, go to Quiznos.
I have no problem boycotting Subway. Their food sucks.
Mr Goodcents is a billion times better. :)
Boycott over this??? Have we turned into a bunch of whiny, sensitive, girly-man liberals?
Let's see what are Subway's sins? Calling Americans fat, showing a picture of a fat Statue of Liberty, and using a "derogatory" term (I've never even heard of Amis) for Americans.
If you object to this this then you're just being PC. I don't favor government intervention on the Fat Train, but more power to Subway for using capitalism to make money on the anti-fat brigade.
This is not treason or anything close to it. This is not going overseas and criticizing a war. This is simply going over to another country and saying Americans are fat to help them make a buck. Maybe they'll make the Germans fat in the meantime.
I find that very hard to believe that fatty mcfatfat himself was scared at mcdonalds.
Subway has terrible food, so I know i'll have no problem not going there.
Seems to me Subway's big sandwich rolls would be more cause for hyperinsulinism, than a big mac.
How appropriate. An American company, who was modestly growing in America until some formerly fat American wrote them a letter about how he used their products to lose weight. They wrapped their growth around him and his ideas (didn't even have to come up with an ad plan on their own)
Then, when they get big and rich enough fromn their American customers, they branch out to other countries and immediately begin anti-American campaigns.
The last time I ate at a Subway was about 5 years ago. I guesss that really was the last time.
In-your-face attacks on competitors are never, never good for business. Attacks on your nation are, well, braindead. Who authorized this pitch? Has someone been spiking their turkeybreast? If this story is true, count me out as a customer forever. Let them rely on Michael Moore's business for their profits.
Good. Another reason to go to Quiznos.
Quiznos Subs blow Subway's crap away.
Does this mean we must boycott all the Subway outlets in Germany?
