Dr. Phil's Pedopalooza will be back after this!

America has always been morbidly obsessed with everything it claims to hate. Child molesters. Serial killers. Gay sex.

It's bad, but Americans can't beat the British for pure, unadulterated (ha, ha!) paedohysteria. It comes from not having enough real crime to keep 'em terrified, I think.

Maybe he composes minor-key string patterns while he talks dirty.

*not saying it ISN'T wrong and heinous

America loves perverts until we don't.

C.F. half of the music industry.

Thing is Subway is, I believe, still the biggest fast food chain in the world, and makes more money in a day than probably every movie Polanski and Ratner combined have ever made. It's like finding out that Col. Sanders was a racist (he was) and KFC got rid of the new Col. Sanders ad campaign (they did in the 90s.) It's just weird because I walk past a Subway now and it looks so.. boring. Like I don't eat fast food unless I have to but Jared was the face of I'd guess a billion people who succeeded in healthier eating lifestyles. And let's not forget that Polanski was extradited for his sex crime.. oh well I'm not hungry anymore.

Didn't really finish that thought.. point is it seemed like Jared was pretty much their biggest asset, worth way more than Cosby Show reruns or anything else. I guess it's kinda cool that they cast him out, but I'm sure there were plenty of people in marketing trying to find a way to make it look like an elaborate hoax or something..

they make about 417 million dollars a day, which is just over twice the gross of rush hour 1 alone, but i see and agree with your larger point.

what i was trying to say is how could kfc (for instance) *not* have known that col. sanders was an unreconstructed racist? of *course* they knew. they just ran a cost-benefit and realized that they could maintain plausible deniability and achieve a p.r. victory by sacking him when the information came out. same thing here.

people's proclivities are general knowledge in the entertainment industry, as a result of basic due diligence, (look up anthony pellicano) and don't believe a word a company says when somebody gets sacked for having sex with watermelons or whatever the case may be.

tl;dr- Subway knew damn well jared was an unredeemable pervert and ran with him as their public face anyways, because they knew they could spin it when he inevitably got busted.

and polanski was NOT extradited btw

They say there are no more heroes, but at least we'll always have Jimmy Saville. On an unrelated note, the five year coma I just woke up from was pretty wild.

"now that he's out of gas"

They could still rebrand him and bring him back. Dress him up in a stripey prison uniform with a bandit mask and call him The Fogler. He'd be a lovable villain that gets comically thwarted.

If Quiznos was smart, they would start an ad campaign with some seriously well known moms (like Sandra Bullock) and start a children's charity here in America that helps children of sexual abuse.

It's worse than eating at Subway.

Get stabbed with a footlong!

If he gets stabbed maybe he will get AIDS!

thank god achewood has something to guide me on the subject

I was at work when the morning drive-time wacky DJs we were listening to decided to play about 2min of this thing. The people I work with are normally pretty upbeat and talkative. We didn't talk for close to 20min after this was over

With what Jared said, or the expose?

The sandwiches. What were you guys talking about?

Jared or Phil?

Ha ha, great you guys!

I'd like to offer help, but it's difficult to do, because I don't want it to sound like I'm trying to be mean to you. You are a good person, and you've done nothing wrong.

I think I Brian Harroded that joke from one of you guys, I can't remember.

They're giving Brian Scalabrine a signature sandwich?
