Okay, I'm now officially boycotting Subway (not that I ever ate there

[ET Awful]

anyway). I was driving by today and saw a display in their window for their new sandwich . . .

Chicken Cordon Bleu

(French and Chicken belong together).


This was a professionally printed, obviously national promotion.

Disgusting ain't it?

1. I wish the French would take back the independence they

won for us and hold it until we develop some manners. Or gratitude.

6. Speak for yourself!! Oh! You were.

2. depends on how you look at it...

They could be saying that the French cook great tasting chicken dishes! :)

[ET Awful]

3. Somehow I doubt that. . . .

4. I know!

I hate that ad. I walk past a Subway with that ad in the window every day on my way to the T. As a Franco-American I am insulted and offended. Bastids!!!

:grr:

5. I hate it how most people think its hilarious to bash the French - they

could never get by with this if they were bashing another ethnic group. I dont eat there anyway, but i would stop if I did- I think people need to start writing them letters explaining they are boycotting the restaurant b/c of their pro war advertising. Personally i cant believe they still have a sign that says this...i thought using food to bash the French was so 2003.

14. I am gonna write a nasty letter, damnit!

Yeah!!!

8. spit on the window each day you pass

:hi:

[Trigger Hippie]

9. I think I'll piss on it instead

No one on Harvard Ave. will mind, will they? :hi:

[sniffa]

10. ah, i'm an expert on that activity

just ask DU (and some other sites). :yoiks:

[Trigger Hippie]

12. I've heard a bit about that.

:silly: :)

7. Why the French don't suck

Title of the first episode of Tony Bourdain's new series on the Travel Channel.

15. Oh, and, by the way? I'm ALSO a Jerry Lewis fan!

(no sarcasm on this one)

[Montauk6]

11. And they have the NERVE to throw in the French Blue

:sarcasm:

[name not needed]

13. I'm going to continue eating there to spite you.

[robbedvoter]

16. Huh? Cordon Bleu is a recipee and chicken is the meat in the

sandwich. Where is the insult?
I stopped buying French mustard when they issued the explanation that it's not THAT french....But this is a joke, right? Right?

[ET Awful]

20. If you saw the poster, you'd know what I'm talking about. n/t
