Fox NFL Sunday aired a cartoon on its Sunday morning broadcast about the troubles in Big D.  The bit was sponsored by Burger King and showed various Cowboy players and the coach engaging in a little “locker room talk” at the expense of ever-widening Jessica Simpson.  The cartoon has caused such a stir that Fox and Burger King were forced to issue the following apology:

From the Foxes mouth: “Burger King Corp. did not have any editorial input in the creation of the animation that ran last Sunday, and no one from Burger King Corp. approved it before it aired.  Upon reflection, our poor attempt at humor was insensitive and we deeply apologize to anyone who might have been offended.”

The fast-food chain added: “Burger King Corp. has a long-standing relationship with FOX Sports, as well as an extensive media partnership with the network. The specific content for this sketch involving Jessica Simpson was not developed or aired by BKC or any of its agencies.”

Simpson responded via tweet – INSERT ANY JOKE ABOUT HER NOT BEING SMART ENOUGH TO THINK BEYOND 140 CHARACTERS - as she put the finishing touches on her clothing line designed to “flatter every figure” (oh, it’s too easy!).  Simpson’s tweet said:

“I will never understand why people attack for a laugh.  Own your beauty and don’t listen to the judgement [sic].”

Yes!  Just Amazing.

Below, is the sketch that caused almost as much chaos as Nipplegate.
