Quizno's too racy?

Anyone else notice that the original Toasty Torpedo commercial by Quizno's has been modified? Was the original to racy and suggestive? What gives? 
This is the original: 





The current has the same video just a little redubbing done to the Hal-esque toaster. The new commercial has something to do with not rubbing the machine with a shammy (??) and instead of saying it "sexy" it is now "with more passion". 

Quzino's has always had pretty good commercials, I'm just curious as to what happened here? Was the guy looking at his crotch and saying "I'm not doing that again, that burned" too racy? Was it the "put it in me " line? Are we too stogy for this to be acceptable?

  1. we're way too stogy. this is one of my favorite quiznos ads (up there with those ugly hamsters that can't sing). the one on tv now is horrible instead of "say it sexy" it's "say it with more passion". it upsets me. eff censorship.
