Subway Mocks America Overseas

"Why are Americans so fat?" ask Subway subs tray-liners in Germany, which feature an image of a tubby Lady Liberty holding a burger and fries. The tray-liners also feature a quote from Michael Moore: "The only time I have been scared for my life has been going through a McDonald’s drive-thru."

The idea that anyone ought to be taking his dietary advice is more than a little laughable.

Here's the German-language tray-liner.
