I'm just surprised at the out of place hostility.
Is he in a new commercial campaign or something that reminds you of how much you hate him?
I think he popped into my head because in another thread we were trying to determine whether a post was referring to the subway (trains that run under the ground) or Subway (a place to get a substandard sandwich). But no, as far as i know there is no new campaign with Jared.
Why do I hate him so? I don't know. I can't really explain it. It's visceral. It comes from my lizard brain, I guess. But I have hated that guy since the moment I set eyes on him. And his whole I-lost-weight-eating-Subway is a sham; the truth is he had a lot of support and intervention to lose weight. Yes, Subway was a part of it; and yes, they have some low-calorie stuff; and yes, eating at Subway is better than eating at McDonald's or Burger King or a lot of other places. But it's still a crappy sandwich. They use substandard meat and substandard vegetables, cheese that is barely better than an individually wrapped Kraft single (blech), and bread that was until recently made, at least partially, of the same foam used in yoga mats. And fat Jared (because let's face it, he was still chubby even after losing the weight; sure, he looked a lot better, but he was never skinny or in good physical shape) was their pitchman. A flabby bag of shit with all the shit sucked out speaking for a sandwich made of gristle and rubber. Mmm.
Here in New England we are spoiled for good sandwiches. Every town has a locally owned pizza/sub shop, almost invariably called the [insert name of town] House of Pizza. You should not trust a New England town that does not have a House of Pizza. In any of them you can get a sub sandwich that is orders or magnitude better than anything you'd get at Subway, and probably for about the same money ($5-10, depending on the size and locale). As a result we have very few Subways around here. There is one in my town, 0.3 miles away from my house according to Google Maps, but its presence here only came about after a prolonged and expensive legal battle (the locals didn't want a Subway in their picturesque little town, the setting for Grown Ups). And it's faring poorly, sandwiched as it is (see what I did there?) between two well known local pizza/sub shops, one of which is the Ipswich House of Pizza.
