Edited on Mon Sep-12-05 03:06 PM by Bonhomme Richard
I just recieved a response to a nasty email I sent them about the Ad asking what goes better together than France and Chicken. They sent back:

1. lol! I didnt really make the connection at first |

Ironic. If it was intentional, thats pretty offensive, but if it was truly a faux pas, thats pretty damn funny.

3. Subway NeoCon mentality |

5. I have my reservations about the intentions of that ad. |
