What does this Subway ad make you think of??
I don't have the skills to link the pic.. (if a moderator wants to do so please feel free) But some people are saying this SUbway ad in Germany has gone too far. Does the ad remind you of anything???
Edited to put pic on the message.

I think any resemblance is unintentional.

Probably that fatty foods are "crushing" the population...but if you get a Subway sub things will be better.

I don't think it was intentional and I don't think it should be a huge deal.
While 9/11 did make me look at most things way different, I don't think a food chain advertisement should be one of those things.
But that's just me. I would guess that some people are way more sensitive than others, esp. if for example they were in the area or know of someone who was when that occured, so I see that point of view as well.

My first thought was Godzilla.
Does that make me unAmerican?

It's not what's running into the building, it's the fact that two tall towers are on fire.
If they want to say fatty foods are crushing people, they should show people under a giant hamburger. Not just offensive, but stupid marketing.

How is a Godzilla parody offensive?
If you wanted to find something offensive you should have gone with this:
Leave parodies of B-movies alone, or the terrorists have won.
