Fox & Burger King Apologize To Jessica Simpson For Mocking Her Weight

So Fox aired some Burger King ad last week for NFL Sunday that poked fun at Jessica Simpson's weight.

A rep for Fox tells Usmagazine.com in a statement: "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."

I don't know if it was a "poor" attempt at humor, but a little distasteful perhaps. But then again, when is taste good in comedy? For the record, I just think those pants make her look really shitty and she isn't actually fat.

I think more than anything the timing is off--this *maybe* could've had the potential of being funny 10 months ago, but have you seen Jessica lately? She looks fantastic! Not a bad pair of mom pants anywhere near her!
