This 9/11-esque image has been used as a tray liner in Subway restaurants in Germany. And apparently that's just the tip of the iceberg. Apparently the road to a Germans' heart and stomach is through blatant anti-Americanism.

While I have no problem with Subways in Germany making fun of Americans for being fat (hey, we make fun of the French for smelling), I do have some serious problems with them using a terrorist attack that caused the deaths of 3,000 people just 3 years ago to mock the United States. Can you imagine, for example, American Subways having images of Hiroshima being "nuked" by spring rolls or how about cartoon matzo balls helping round up Jews to the concentration camps? That's how sickening this is.

But, as Americans, we don't have to take this sitting down. We are weapons of mass consumption. This is one of those times that we can use our fat asses and our fat wallets to make our voices heard. Remember this the next time you're jonesing for a sub. Skip Subway and consider one of these sandwich options instead:

Potbelly
Panera
Einsteins
Quiznos
Atlanta Bread Company

And those are just some of the big chains. I know every city has dozens of great sandwich places that clearly deserve your business more than Subway.
