Sometimes I hate boys. Not men, mind you, boys. Boys that are all grown up with big-boy suits and big jobs at an advertising agency. Boys that think it’s hilarious to green light a cartoon ad mocking Jessica Simpson as fat. F-cking jock pr-cks. On Sunday’s Fox NFL Sunday, a cartoon sponsored by Burger King aired. According to Us Weekly, “In the clip, an animated version of Dallas Cowboys starter Marion Barber remarked, ‘Man, I still can’t believe Tony [Romo] dated Jessica Simpson, even AFTER she blew up bigger than Flozell Adams!’ Tight end Jason Witten says, ‘Unlike Tony, at least Jessica comes up big when it counts!’ Even Cowboys coach Wade Phillips chimed in: “Say Tony, is Jessica around? We could use a defensive tackle!’” Ugh. F-cking disgusting. God, I loathe this sort of jock-y, nasty humor where it just seems like men are bigger, snottier, bitchier, and nastier then the biggest Queen Bee high school girl.
Anyway, would you like some nicer Jessica Simpson news? She’s given a couple of interviews recently, and she’s seems to be in a good place considering her horrible year. Jessica spoke to People Magazine about getting back into the dating pool following her breakup with Tony Romo, and what she’s learning on her international adventure filming The Price of Beauty:
While the now-single Jessica Simpson may have had her fair share of heartache, don’t count her out when it comes to searching for Mr. Right on the Internet.
“I have to say I’ve never tried finding love online,” Simpson – who in July split with longtime boyfriend, Dallas Cowboys Quarterback Tony Romo – told PEOPLE Tuesday at the QVC Presents FFANY Shoes on Sale event in New York City, to benefit breast cancer research and education.
Whether it’s building a relationship by emailing, chatting online or utilizing dating networks, the singer, 29, says she has no problems with finding romance and long-term friendships with the click of a computer mouse.
“I mean, anybody who can find love online, so be it,” says Simpson. As for getting her own feet wet in the online dating pool, she says, “Maybe. Who knows?”
Until such time, Simpson says she has learned the true meaning of beauty and love inspired by the women of Morocco, whom she recently met while filming her upcoming docu-series, The Price of Beauty, in the African country.
“Morocco is extremely empowering, and the women there are incredible,” Simpson says. “There was nothing repressed about the women … they carry themselves completely confidant, sexy, all-knowing, while completely covered. It’s all about what’s inside of them, and they really studied themselves. To me that is what beauty is.”
She adds, “It’s not anything about what anybody else says about you that can define what is beautiful. It’s what you define as beautiful. And that to me is pure love and beauty.”
[From People]
She should try online dating - she might meet someone really nice. I’ve been thinking for a little while that she might make a pretty good political wife. Like, a congressman’s wife, or the wife of a mayor in Texas or something. But maybe she’ll find someone decent and out of the public eye, like a doctor, or an engineer or something. Fingers crossed.
Jessica told Us Weekly that she thinks Daisy, her Malti-poo that was killed by coyotes, would want her to move on. Jessica said: “Daisy meant the world to me… I hold her memory very, very close. It was an unfortunate thing what happened. That I don’t have her every day… It’s a very hard thing to talk about. I haven’t really thought about another dog yet, but maybe sometime… she would want that.” Aw. Poor Jessica. But she sounds okay, doesn’t she? Like she’s going to get through this.
UPDATE: Early Wednesday evening, a Fox spokesperson released a statement and a general apology to “anyone who might have been offended”. That would be me, I guess. The spokesperson said: “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.” A spokesperson for BK adds: “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.” So… I guess no one is going to issue a specific apology to Jessica. Whatever. Jock pr-cks.

The Cowboys suck!
-
Everyone hop aboard the Jessica Simpson pity train…
-
The Cowboys have been bad this year but that is a cartoon not the real Dallas Cowboys saying that stuff dumb dumb
-
wow, that is harsh.
I’m not a fan of hers by any means (nor do I hate her), but I think that was totally out of line and really just too mean. I can’t believe that someone in charge actually approved that.
and yes, the cowboys DO suck.
it sounds like she did learn something about so-called inner beauty and loving yourself. good for her - I always thought that low self-esteem was one of her biggest problems. she always seems to be looking for the approval of a male figure (stemming from her CREEPY dad) and it’s ruined her ability to act in a healthy way in a romantic relationship.
I think she’d be much better off with a “normal” (non-showbusiness) husband, too.
-
Gee, I wish I was “fat” like she is. I don’t see any fat on her. She looks healthy
-
Ugh, what a disgusting commercial. Total boys club bullsh*t that represents everything ugly about jocks and small minded boys in general.
Burger King’s commercials have all been just super creepy and a total turn off for a few years now. I hope they crash and burn with this one. It’s time. (Cowboys TOTALLY suck btw.)
Go Jess!
-
I agree that she looks very healthy. I dont see any problem with her at all.
-
Count me among the Cowboy haters. It’s an SF native’s duty, right Firestarter?
Anyway, this commercial is nauseating. Jessica usually annoys the hell out of me, but my heart goes out to her. Bastards.
-
Is BK trying to win over Karl Lagerfeld or something? Most football fans who eat hamburgers think J Simp is a hot piece of meat.
-
BK and their advertising firm suck. Can’t you just imagine the pitch, everyone yuking it up like it’s the funniest commercial ever? Douchebags. I’d write and complain but they’d probably laugh at that too, as a female I’m not their demographic obviously.
-
I’ve always had a soft spot for Jessica. She may not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but she seems like she’s a genuine, sweet person. I think she’s a lot less cocky and more reserved than Ashlee. Living in a younger sister’s shadow (after the younger sister lived in hers for many years) will do that. Bless her though, she tries. I’m Team Jess always.
-
I think the ad guys at BK are total tools. When is the last time you saw a good BK ad, I mean really, it’s not that hard…
-
I’m with JayBird… BK whose “grilled” chicken sandwich has over 40 fat grams and comes standard with cheese and they think they can harass and insult Jessica Simpson who by the way is still smaller than the average american woman… it’s disguisting..
-
“that is a cartoon not the real Dallas Cowboys”
yes, Dan, but the Cowboys must have given their permission for the team name to be used, as well as the players themselves giving permission. You can’t use someone’s representation or image without their permission - especially a celebrity since they can make money off their name/image.
Therefore, the Cowboys org (or the NFL) must have approved this crap.
meh, you’re probably the target audience anyway.
-
If Jessica Simpson is fat, boy do I wish I were fat.
Also, the irony of a BK-sponsored cartoon mocking someone’s weight is not lost on me, though it appears to have been lost on them.
-
Fat Elvis- Yes. I wish the 9er’s were doing better! : (
-
WTF?? What’s the point of this commercial anyway? “Let’s Kick this Chick While She’s Down”?
I’m no fan of hers, but that was just totally asinine. -
What’s with this commercial? Sure it’s rude and disgusting to Jessica, but I can’t even tell what they’re selling. There’s no advertising.
-
God, this is horrendous. What a bunch of soulless pricks.
-
That’s pretty nasty. And, again, not a Jessica fan. But what was the point of that? Burger King’s ads have gotten particularly obnoxious over the last couple of years. I’m glad I don’t eat there any more and this just lowers my appetite for fast food in general.
-
she’s an easy target because she let the whole world know how dumb she is. chicken-of-the sea anyone?
-
I think she’s an easy target because she is such a little bitch. She gets dumped by Romo and Mayer and plans some sort of stupid ‘tell all.’ I am NEVER going to forgive her for the way she acted with Nick, during the marriage and during the divorce.
Let’s not forget this is a woman that floated abuse rumors, tried to cheat Nick out of his fair share despite the fact that SHE was the one who refused to sign a prenup because at the time Nick was the one who had the more active career at the time.
Perhaps a lot of men in her life (except for Daddy Dearest) have not been treated well by her and are in an immature way lashing out. Who is she to write some stupid fucking tell all about her love lives. Of course they don’t respect her, she doesn’t respect herself.
I’m female and I am sick and tired of these stupid ditzes marrying, realizing they have to do more than be their husband’s little princess, and then leave soaking the guy for everything he has. She did so many low things to him on camera, God knows what happened off camera.
He had to put up with her stupid family around all the time, having Daddy breathing down his neck, and also spending God only knows how much shopping. She wants to play games with people, spreading rumors and planning ‘tell all’ books, let her get dished against in return.
-
Just when you thought that there couldn’t be two bigger boobs than Jessica’s…along comes the Cowboys and Burger King…
-
First pepsi with the inappropriate iphone app and now BK with this sh*t?
No wonder people are anorexic and men have a totally skewed idea of what women are supposed to look like!
What fat moron approves these terrible promotions??!
-
Sakota, you’re never going to forgive her for what she did to Nick? I think you’re taking OTHER PEOPLE’S BUSINESS way too seriously. Do you even have your own life to worry about? If you did, maybe you wouldn’t feel the need to hold grudges against people who have done nothing to you!! Jealousy stings. Just saying.
-
Jessica is very beautiful. I think just about everyone can agree about that, can’t they? Does it make the people who make these ‘jokes’ feel good to try to tear a woman down? Whatevs.
-
jessie - people are anorexic? people are fatter than ever. sigh.
-
poor girl
-
Jessica looks great. Screw them. I hope she doesn’t take this to heart, although I’m sure it would be hard not to. Absolutely disgusting.
-
These 2 sentences seem to contradict each other:
(1) Burger King Corp. did not have any editorial input in the creation of the animation . . . and no one from Burger King Corp. approved it before it aired.
and
(2) Upon reflection, our poor attempt at humor was insensitive[.]
So, was it BK’s attempt at humor? How can that be if they had zero input/approval? Sounds like a bunch of liars to me.
-
benny: it was a statement released by FOX.
I couldn’t see the video - but, from reading about it, I totally agree - just what demographic were they trying to appeal to??
-
While I find Jessica immature, vapid and annoying, the video was just straight out mean-spirited.
-
I think Dallas sucks. BK sucks - and so does all the fat and calories it represents. Nothing healthy there-and yet they poke fun at a seemingly, healthy looking Jessica Simpson-does BK even know the message that they are helping to send out to all girls out there over 110 pounds-WTF is wrong with you people. Aside from the fact that it is wrong to make fun of people in general. I think just for the stupidity of the whole situation BK should be boycotted. Its not real food anyway.
-
I call total BS on Burger King saying they had nothing to do with it.
didn’t they refer to BK by name in that spot? if so, Fox would have had to get BK’s approval…trademark laws and all…
-
The Cowboys can’t possibly suck worse than the Redskins. BOO!
-
i’d love to see what the guys behind this cartoon look like. probably fat, beer bellied, balding losers with hairy backs who stay in and play xbox every night because they can’t get laid.
-
Prissa, my vote goes to the Tampa Bay Buccaneeers - they’re truly embarrassing.
-
CiCi; Actually, kids are dieting at a younger age now.
Kids don’t need to diet! They don’t need to eat cr*p, but an 11 year old on a diet is a bit excessive.
sigh. -
“Sakota, you’re never going to forgive her for what she did to Nick? I think you’re taking OTHER PEOPLE’S BUSINESS way too seriously. Do you even have your own life to worry about? If you did, maybe you wouldn’t feel the need to hold grudges against people who have done nothing to you!! Jealousy stings. Just saying.”
I take false abuse accusations seriously. I just dislike how she has treated her relationships like a high school drama. Until she grows up she’s going to keep getting mocked. I only think about her when I go on here.

The dallas cowboys are changing their name to the tampons cuz they are only good for one period and don’t have a second string. Zing!

I’m sorry, but the inventors of the Angry Chicken Sandwich (1030 cal, 61 fat, 82 carbs) should not be mocking anyone’s weight. They’re alienating their own customers.
