there's a joke in here somewhere about a 6 inch versus the footlong... FBI agents search Subway spokesman Jared Fogle's home Raid comes after Jared Foundation executive's arrest on child pornography charges by Dylan Stableford | Yahoo News — 1 hour ago The FBI and state police searched the Indiana home of Subway restaurant spokesman Jared Fogle early Tuesday. The Indianapolis Star reports that electronics were removed from Fogle's house in Zionsville, Ind., and loaded into a mobile forensics van parked in his driveway. Fogle was seen entering and exiting the van during the search. According to Fox's Indianapolis affiliate, state and federal agents served warrants at Fogle's home in connection with a child pornography investigation. An FBI spokeswoman confirmed the agency was conducting an investigation in the area, but would not specify its nature. "We are shocked about the news and believe it is related to a prior investigation of a former Jared Foundation employee," Subway said in a statement to CNBC. "We are very concerned and will be monitoring the situation closely. We don't have any more details at this point." In April, Russell Taylor, the executive director of the Fogle's Jared Foundation, was arrested on child pornography charges. Authorities said a search of Taylor’s home turned up more than 400 videos with images of child pornography. Fogle quickly distanced himself and his foundation from Taylor. "I was shocked to learn of the disturbing allegations against Mr. Taylor," Fogle said in a statement. "Effective immediately, the Jared Foundation is severing all ties with Mr. Taylor." Taylor, 43, attempted suicide in jail a week after his arrest. Fogle, 37, gained national fame as the restaurant's pitchman after losing more than 240 pounds -- weight loss he attributed to eating Subway sandwiches. According to the New York Daily News, Fogle has an estimated net worth of $15 million. He started the Jared Foundation in 2004 to eliminate childhood obesity "by raising awareness and developing programs that educate and inspire kids to live healthier, happier lives." “I am starting The Jared Foundation to help kids who are in the same situation I was in growing up,” Fogle told Food Processing magazine at the time. “I was an overweight kid who turned into an even heavier teenager who turned into an obese young adult and this negatively affected every aspect of my life. Now I am in a position where I can have some influence with kids and hopefully, can help them learn to make better choices.”
umm because we all need to know that he hired, and then fired, a pedophile last year?? Now when you hear what was on Jared's own PC's then it becomes news again
its actually a rather extensive list if one were to keep track of every celebrity breach of ethics... of course it's enough to keep TMZ profitable

I find it more and more amazing that immense corporations ignore the will of the people on all sorts of ingredients or shitty practices but as soon as a whiff of scandal is in the air they feel the need to distance themselves. Fuck You ya bunch of corporate cowards. Nike can shed Tiger's endorsement deal but deal they tremble in fear as the sporting goods brand of philanderers Jello can fire Bill Cosby but they must wear the rapist tag Subway is now the sandwich of pedophiles until further notice and so on.. What happened to innocent until proven guilty? Now it's innocent until your sponsor is ashamed. Fits right in line with airhead Swift calling out Apple..
FWIW, I have yet to see any charges pending against Jared. Not saying he's innocent, just saying he hasn't been accused of wrong doing yet. And also, FWIW, I don't really GAF, I just don't like to see people dragged through the mud in the press without probable cause.
Why were you so excited to create this thread, Irish? Do you have something against Jared? ... Or Subway? Or pedos?
