during the football playoff in January, Subway was continually running an ad with a tall African American woman and a small white woman, speaking directly to the camera. The tall woman looked familiar, and was a pretty bad spokesperson, so I thought they must be famous. When I said "who are those people?" My brother- a huge sports nut- said they are supposed to just be average everyday people. I learned later that the woman was Laila Ali, Muhammed Ali's daughter. I'm thinking the small woman was a gymnast, but I'm not sure who it was. The ad NEVER identified these people, so the "star power" of the ads was completely lost on most of us! Why bother?
