People who work at ad agencies (I dealt with the New York version for 
a couple of years) can be verra, verra strange. Part of it's all the 
drugs, and part of it's just inherent in the industry. (Just my 
opinion.)

Gawd, that's awful. Dr. Frankenstein's mutated chipmunks. I figure 
maybe it's a take-off on something certain "cool" (or just plain 
sick) people are into. (Could it be South Park?) That, or they're 
desperate for ANY attention WHATSOEVER.

I'd give it a raw brass stinker award. (I ate at a Quiznos once; it 
wasn't bad, but I like Subway, and there are many more of them in the 
areas where I hang out.)
