Greece imploding, crisis in Europe, economy collapsing, but let's have all news cover Justin Bieber's butt all day instead.

*stares at tv perplexed*

Mmm. I'm guessing that you are pointing to
or
?

Neither is applicable to state that the CO Department of Public Health and Environment's statistic is proven false.

I'd be down for a state-sponsored lottery sterilization program. Even better if they bring all 12 years old and up into the program and brought them all into the hospital, but didn't tell anyone which ones were sterilized and which ones remained fertile.

It's not exactly a process you miss being done...I think they'd know who they were.

On the American front we may have lost another hero. Jared is having his house raided by the FBI for child porn. What has America come to that the heroes of our hero sandwiches can't be trusted?!

Oh and yes Jared is considered a hero in the US because he ate Subway and lost weight. It's stupid but there you go. We can't pay any attention to Europe right now.

Saw this but wasn't even going to bother.

In fairness, his electronics are being raided because his charity's chief was arrested for the indecent stuff.

Nothing formal against our weight-loss-by-fast-food hero yet.

Heh. Subway. Hero.

Bwahahaha.

They're both *** awful. I know peopleAmericans love to sacrifice taste for convenience, but yeesh, pack your goddamn lunch. Cheaper, better, better for you.

Point is we have bigger fish to fry in the USA then care about Greece. Though we may fry them in grease if that's any consolation.

don't tell us what to do!!!

>:O

Quiznos, at least when I ate there, was tasty. Good bread, good ingredients. Their chicken and steak actually tasted like grilled chicken and steak, not frozen-reheated bulk-produced-packed-in-a-ziplock-bag fare like Subway.

Granted, it's been over a decade. They all closed around here because Pittsburghers value quantity over quality when it comes to food.

Yeah we have other food related mascots to do that! .... um .... hmmmmm .... anyone know which ones haven't been arrested? All that comes to mind is the Hamburglar and he is a pretty bad example of a not arrested mascot. You know with stealing McDonalds burgers ....

I think I drank enough Mt. Dew as a teenager that I can no longer have kids !

That and beer. Lots and lots of beer.

Speaking of sandwich related news:

The FBI has raided the home of Subway spokesman Jared Fogle as part of an investigation, authorities told ABC News today.

Fogle was seen at his Zionsville, Indiana, home during the search this morning.

Authorities would not elaborate on the nature of the investigation, though it comes two months after the executive director of Fogle's foundation, Russell Taylor, was arrested on child pornography charges.



Fogle's attorney told ABC News in a statement that his client has not been charged with any crime.

"Jared has been cooperating, and continues to cooperate, with law enforcement in their investigation of unspecified charges, and looks forward to its conclusion," attorney Ron Elberger said in the statement.

Subway issued a statement about the investigation involving the longtime face of the company.

"We are shocked about the news and believe it is related to a prior investigation of a former Jared Foundation employee. We are very concerned and will be monitoring the situation closely," the company said in its statement.

Taylor faces eight preliminary federal felony charges, including multiple counts of possession of child pornography, voyeurism and child exploitation. Taylor remains in jail, according to federal documents. It was not immediately clear whether Taylor has entered a plea. Federal prosecutors have until August to impanel a grand jury, according to Taylor’s lawyer.

At the time of Taylor's arrest, Fogle released a statement to the Indianapolis Star condemning Taylor.

"I was shocked to learn of the disturbing allegations against Mr. Taylor. Effective immediately, the Jared Foundation is severing all ties with Mr. Taylor," Fogle said in the statement.

Fogle, 37, gained national fame when he lost a significant amount of weight by eating turkey and vegetable sandwiches from Subway and exercising. He was first featured in ads for the company in 2000 and he launched The Jared Foundation in 2004, with a mission to improve children's health.

The undercover decoy, posing as a 13 year old was repeatedly asked if she "likes footlongs."

Shameless. I know.

There are 600 comments with sex jokes on ABC comment section brilliant !

In Jared's defense small children are...delicious !

sure they are... ok you subtract the total percentage by the decline in 2012 12% from 56% you have a 44% drop over twenty years there is no way in hell you could can cook that to come up with 40% in four years.

if you go back and look at the decline graph nationwide had such a miracle occurred wouldn't it stand to reason that the hhs would have noted it?

nationwide

Now, now. There are no diets in jail.

He'll get both whether he likes it or not.

But really. I'm seeing nothing solid about charges against him at all.

Maybe it's just a matter of time, but let's not convict him in the court of public opinion before he's even officially hauled in.

I thought that increased you chances of having kids?

Depends, really.

For many men it has an anti-inflammatory effect. Swelling simply doesn't happen!

Many of children have been made that way ! Some even on purpose !

Bubba will toast those buns for him.

Concieved over a pack of Natty Light.

And you say abortions should be outlawed????

Prison Mayo, anyone?

Not much to report anyway.

EDIT:
Summit ended. More deadlines.
Decission on sunday. Whole EU will be present.
Greece has till Friday 8:30 morning to produce detailed long term proposals

Natty Ice should be outlawed.

Appropriate as far as the Dane/German "Hellenes" who threw themselves on that grenade for another war with the Turks, the Balkans and Crimea...



Really, though, biographies on Philip or his mother and father are worth the read. Depressing but well worth it. Underdog, basically orphaned, poverty prince. (Think Arya or Sansa, if you need a nerd-o-sphere comparison.)
