Of course before this latest sleazy move, I though Subway Exec and Jared both deserve to be tortured for conning America into believing their pre-sliced, then shipped to the stores frozen, “meat” is eating fresh, but that’s another issue for another day. As for this move, I think maybe they are getting jealous of Quiznos, and figure, why should Quiznos get all the attention for being so sleazy? Perhaps these two companies can just skip franchising food altogether and franchise street crime. Why not, why should all these bank robbers, rapist and other assorted hoodlums have to be independents? Subway and Quiznos certainly don’t care about making people victims, so there is no ethics issue. And the public will be well served too! How so? When a Subway or Quiznos thief sticks a knife in your stomach, as least you know it will be a standard corporately approved one. Those standards matter after all.

This is the crazy stuff Bill O’Reilly and Shawn Hannity LOVE to bring to light!

I don’t think Gitmo is a tough enough place for Jared but it will have to do. They will also need to play the Subway theme song, continuously looping for 23 hours a day. Leave the 1 hour open to gnaw at him. He should them be forced to recite the pledge of allegiance for the other hour. AND we need a 24/7 web cam on him for ours and our service members on-demand viewing pleasure.

Good job pouncing on this, Sean!

The spokesman may not be the bad guy here, but Subway’s corporate officers deserve a whack in the corporate pocketbook to make them wake up and say, “Oh, my bad.” They shat on a service guy and they need to make things right.

That clearly falls under the definition of “torture.” Like forcefeeding Pepsi to Coca Cola execs.

Though it is a powerful threat to supersize Jared while he’s at Gitmo. Could add a sense of urgency.

It’s not fair and totally unreasonable for Subway to do this to Leon Batie. To think that he gave his time and effort to protect our freedom and then have Subway do this to him is UNAMERICAN. Boo and Hiss to Subway!

Great points! Thanks for your comments and Retweets (see button above, twitters).

Subway Execs (and their attorneys) read this blog, so you are being heard. I know this by the correspondence I receive from them and their attorneys when they take exception to my posts (like the one where I suggested they add strippers like their franchisee Cousin Vinny. I had to remove Bambi’s photoshopped Subway name tag from the pic :().

Special thanks to Eric for not adding “5-dollar footlongs” to his list.
