See.. when you said the ad is in Germany, I immediately thought of the Dresden bombings. Had you not said anything, I just don't think I would have gotten it at all from that picture.... is there text or something that appears with the ad?

A few articles about the incident
This first ad is what put the "spotlight" so to speak on Subway's ads.
Group calls Subway ad 'unpatriotic'
NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - An advocacy group Friday accused sandwich chain Subway Restaurants of being "anti-American" because the tray liners that the company is currently using in Germany display an obese Statute of Liberty and a German word that it claims is a pejorative term for Americans.

More Anti-American Images Found at German Subway Stores

It's clearly a takeoff on the 9/11 terror attacks on the World Trade Center, and according to the Virginia-based Center for Individual Freedom, the illustration appears on page 18 of a 30-page "food diary" distributed by Subway sandwich shops in Germany.

Personally, it's much ado about nothing. I highly doubt that the Subway in Germany even thought that it was related to 9/11.
Every country has different interpretation of what that poster means. Just like many symbols in the world.

Where did that come from?
And class has NOTHING to do with money, for your information.

"FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
August 7, 2004
The Tennessee Republican Party State Executive Committee passed a strongly worded resolution today calling on voters to oppose congressional candidate James Hart. Hart, a candidate in the 8th congressional district, has expressed support for a concept he calls "favored races." The resolution called Hart's views "abhorrent and outrageous" and urged all Republicans and Tennesseans to reject his candidacy"
Sorry but the Republican party does not stand by him or accept him. Nice try.
Let's all agree to tell these racist Democrats to stop once and for all!!!!
