Who the heck is doing their ad work now? I shudder to think what

Between that and the shrieking mutants Quizno's was using a while
back, all I can imagine is that the current edgy idea on Mad Ave
is "Freak 'em out so bad they can't think straight, and they'll
spend their money *everywhere*. By random lot alone we'll get
*some* of it."
Hey, don't discriminate against the childhoods of the British, I'm
sure they have normal childhoods. The "Quizno's Spongemonkeys" guy
works across the Pond from Madison Ave where he specializes in the
British equivalent of college/stoner humour (with a U!). You can
treat yourself (or torture yourself if so inclined) to other
tidbits of his "portfolio" at RatherGood.com.
I first came across Joel Veitch (the "Quizno's Spongemonkeys" guy has
an actual name!) through his Viking Kittens animation to Led
Zeppelin's Immigrant Song: http://www.dennyweb.com/viking_kittens.htm

PS: My 8-year-old son just loves those viking kittens *and* Led
Zeppelin's song. Whodathunkit?
