Subway

Um. Is anyone else annoyed that everytime they walk into Subway they are confronted with a lifesize cardboard cutout of Jared holding up a giant pair of jeans?


This is their latest in-store ad campaign and I find it a bit sub par (I couldn't resist a bad pun).

I mean, everytime I go in - I initially think Jared is a real man, smiling and holding up his pants for the world to see, and I get scared for a half second.

Then I realize Jared is just made of cardboard and he is simply trying to share just how big his pants were before Subway came into his life. Big sigh of relief.

I am all about motivational weight loss tools...but I think they should get one of those mirrors that makes you look like 20 pounds lighter. And then they could say how eating Subway will help you lose 20 pounds. And the mirror could talk to you and tell you how ridiculously good looking you would be if you ordered the turkey sub with no cheese and light mayo. Just a thought.

Also, if they got rid of the flimsy carboard Jared you wouldn't have to worry about accidently knocking him over with your giant purse as you are digging around for your wallet. Yeah, that was embarassing.
