Fox is Sorry Jessica Simpson Got Fat

Fox network aired a cartoon sponsored by Burger King during NFL Sunday last week which mocked Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo and his ex-girlfriend Jessica Simpson. Jessica Simpson was understandably butthurt and Fox has now apologized for the commercial. Dallas News reports:

“In the commercial, the cartoon version of Marion Barber says, “Man, I still can’t believe Tony dated Jessica Simpson, even after she blew up bigger than Flozell Adams!” The cartoon version of Jason Witten says, “Unlike Tony, at least Jessica comes up big when it counts!” And the cartoon version of coach Wade Phillips adds, “Say Tony, is Jessica around? We could use a defensive tackle!” Fox issued a statement saying, “Burger King 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.”"

I guess this was probably only funny to Cowboys fans. I’m a Cowboys fan and I thought it was hilarious and I don’t care if it was cheap and juvenile. Jessica Simpson was nothing but a distraction and a jinx when she was dating Tony Romo and her association with the Cowboys was an embarrassment to the team and its fans. The fans’ hatred of her was duly noted and well publicized, yet she kept turning her relationship with Tony into a big publicity stunt for herself and thumbed her nose at Dallas fans. This commercial wasn’t seen by massive amounts of people and is only popular now because Jessica Simpson publicly cried about it – and is using it to sell her new TV series about fat girls being comfortable in their skin.

So fuck her.

If I worked for the Dallas Cowboys I’d have a “Stay Puft Marshmallow Jessica Day” where ticket holders are given free marshmallow men with Jessica heads on them, and I’d even have a bonfire set up if they want to gather ’round and make s’mores out of them. And no, Jessica, you can’t have seconds. One per person.
