These Sandwich Ads Must Be Stopped ~

Okay, i get it that submarine sandwiches are phallic. We got that in 2nd grade. Since Subway's 5-dolla-foot-long campaign has been such a hit [sic], Quiznos is now in on the act, promoting their Tasty Torpedo.

This ad makes me really uncomfortable:
The Oven: "I want you to do something for me."
Scott [the naive sandwich technician]: Looks down at his pants, shakes his head "No, not doing that again, it burned."
Oven: "We both enjoyed that."

WHAT?!?!? overt, much! but wait, it gets better, or rather worse. The Oven continues about his latest invention, the Tasty Torpedo & then bullies Scott to "Put it in me."

Uhm, this ad does not make me want a sandwhich it makes me want to vomit.
