DMN Blog: Fox apologizes for cartoon Cowboys mocking Jessica Simpson

[TellerMorrow34]

It was one of the worst attempts at humor ever. It was pathetic and just plain stupid.

I didn't see it, so I guess I really don't have an opinion one way or the other.

It'd be different if it were actually funny. It was painfully unfunny.

+1.....

 

[Everlastingxxx]

I’m sure it was Wade that complained about it.

Jokes should be outlawed, only leads to people getting upset.

 

[zeroburrito]

hilarious!

 

[Muhast]

:laugh2: You should be a writer for that Commanders website that makes the funny cartoons.

W-I-T-T-E-N. It's not difficult.

Burger King and Fox have apologized for a cartoon skit that aired during Fox's NFL Sunday on Oct. 11 that had cartoon Dallas Cowboys mocking Jessica Simpson for her supposed weight gain.

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 cartoon 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.''

Romo was unavailable for comment on Wednesday.

It was mean spirited, not in good taste, and not really all that funny.

I shouldnt care but its crazy how fair game Jessica Simpson is. I cant see this kind of stuff going on w/ anyone else.

Tom Bradys girl looks like a man. And Bradys got a huge head

 

[Spectre]

wow.
that was even worse than I thought.

1:24 of my life I won't get back.

That was just in very bad taste.

Well, they deserve some derision for that if they aired it. Poor taste.

Well, they deserve some derision for that if they aired it. Poor taste.

It was a combination of stupid, moronic, and juvenile and what is worse it wasn't even remotely funny. It just makes me glad that there is an NFL network. No more Fox pregame and definitely no more pregame.

Everyone has decided to pile on the Cowboys right now.

Im just ready for Atlanta and hope that we can beat those guys and get this thing turned around.

It's fox, you'd have to be a pathetic human being to watch that network.

Or watching a football game since that's when the cartoons air...

That is going to be one ugly baby.

You are confusing Fox with Fox News...

Typical. How about attacking the messenge instead of the messenger and the people who view the most watched news network in America today.

You're not very perceptive are you?
