The National Legal and Policy Center has protested the Subway restaurant chain's use of advertising in its German which denigrates Americans. According to them, tray liners in  the German shops (apparently, not translated into German and named "U—Bahn")

feature tray—liners and posters promoting the film 'Super Size Me.'  They portray an obese Statue of Liberty holding a package of fries and a hamburger and begin with the bold headline 'Why Are Americans So Fat?'

Even worse, the tray liners contain a quotation from Michael Moore:

"The only time I have been scared for my life has been going through a McDonald's drive—thru.'

If any of this bothers you, I can pass on the news to two rival chains, Quiznos and Togos, consistently have better food than Subway shops, in my opinion.
