Caveat Emptor. Due-diligence. This is the only positive consequence of having ONE bad experience with these guys. Fool me once…

You don’t see anything wrong with what amounts to little more than lying to get paid? We have a name for folks like that where I come from… dicks.

the problem isn’t jared “lying” about how he lost his weight. He does say that he lost it according to diet and exercise. I bet he did to. Did he eat only subway sandwhiches? Who knows? Who Cares?
kudos to him for doing what business men have been doing for ages
it’s not his fault the masses are stupid, it’s their fault for thinking that they can eat sandwhiches and lose massive amounts of weight.
caveat emptor (sp?)
would I do the same thing?
if people were stupid enough to buy it, damn straight I would
Here are some thoughts on artistic integrity:
Ain’t singin’ for Pepsi
Ain’t singin’ for Coke
I don’t sing for nobody
Makes me look like a joke
This note’s for you.
Now let’s all go throw rocks at the Kool-Aid guy.
John K’s got it right, fellas.
“Do a commercial and you’re off the artistic roll call. There’s a price on your head, everything you say is suspect, and every word that comes out of your mouth is like a turd… falling into my drink.” -Bill Hicks
Call me a rosy-cheeked lad of no mean amount of naivete, but I just can’t think of anything redeeming or honorable about lying for profit. I’m not going to cheer on a liar, or pretend that I think he’s smart for figuring out a way to make money. Why lie when you don’t have to? How did he help anybody but himself? You guys may not see a problem with this, but I do. He’s a dick. No big deal. So are a lot of other people.
From what I remember, he actually did lose all of the weight by eating Subway. He sent his story in to Men’s Health for an article called “Stupid Diets that Work”, and Subway picked him up from there. His exercises consisted of walking and more walking though.

HELL YEAH!! Then we can go trash the Honeycomb Hideout. And then I’ll rip the beak right off that fucking toucan!! Then I’ll beat the crap out of the Jolly Green Giant. What the fuck is he so happy about? And don’t even get me started on Grimace! That fat purple fuck!!
Jared altered his physique by consuming a caloric deficit and exercising, which is what you do so are you a loser too?

LOL…don’t forget about Snuggle …the little bastard…where does he get off making my clothes so soft…[/quote]
Both of these posts are effing hilarious! Cudos to RIT and DDCH
Jared? I think it’s a damn waste to even post a topic about this dude. Period.
Yeah, Jared is one lucky son of a bitch. He is now famous, and makes probably a real good living being the subway shill.
That being said, he did lose the weight. But he had his sandwiches made a specific way, and one was a vegetarian. He ate a total of about 800 calories a day. That is how he lost the weight.
If you paid attention, you will notice he looks healthier then when he first showed up. Probably by recovering from his starvation diet.
I would rather listen to Jared talk about Subway then listen to a somebody selling time shares.
Now who here has eaten at Subway on their cheat days?
What does the official food provider for Team USA think about Subway
Is this really a thread? Pretty easy to sit behind a computer screen and rip on someone (who actually accomplished something) because of your own self-loathing. This thread just collectively lowered the IQ average here on T-Nation. I feel like I’m back in junior high.
Take him to an all-you-can-eat BBQ place.
poor poor poor thread. you guys starting to see why many folks don’t come around here anymore?

Are you kidding me, Dr. R? McDonald’s the official food provider for team USA? Wonder how the athletes managed to bring any medals back. And all of you guys ditching subway 'cause Jared’s a lame icon. (evil snickering) Well he did lose the weight, right? At least Subway got real meat in their sandwichs…
By the way, hope no dopehead’s gonna say"yeah but McD’s patties are made with 100% real beef" Ya, they are, which means they contains meat (and maybe more than just meat) coming 100% from the cow. They never said their patties were 100% beef!! Even if Subway’s southwest steak and cheese comes from rat meat, at least it IS meat, not some foul cereals and god knows what mixed with meat. Rumor has it that there is more medecine in a BigMac than in your home pharmacy. Anyway, next time you drink yourself to the brink of vomiting, have a sandwich at McD. More of a cure than anything the doctor might come up with…Makes a hangover almost welcoming:)

When you’re as fat as he is… Everywhere step you go you carry an extra 100+ lbs. So it actually is a little tougher than you give him credit. Then again the credit he deserves for letting himself get morbidly obese pretty much nullifies that.

Boondoc, weren’t you the guy who was complaining about alleged censorship of thread topics a few weeks ago?
Also, your comment about folks not coming around here reminds me of a Yogi Berra line:
“No one goes there anymore. It’s too crowded.”
T-Nation:
Approximately 900,000 unique readers every month.
30-40 million page hits per month
Recent ranking of all websites, world over: About 9,900 (number one being the busiest)
Compare that ranking with Bill O’Reilly’s website, a webite that benefits from his popular syndicated radio show advertising the website: Just over 90,000th.
Despite the occasional non-scintillating thread, we seem to be doing okay.

IMO, people seem to be confusing Jared with Subway’s marketing department. It’s not like the guy came up with this marketing campaign himself.
