In a statement to RadarOnline.com, a rep for Burger King said: “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.”
Fox also released a statement, saying: “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.”
In the minute long clip, an animated version of Dallas Cowboys starter Marion Barber remarks, “Man, I still can’t believe Tony [Romo] dated Jessica Simpson, even AFTER she blew up bigger than Flozell Adams!”
Tight end Jason Witten responds, “Unlike Tony, at least Jessica comes up big when it counts!”

It astounds me that Jessica Simpson is still even able to afford living in Hollywood. She can't sing or act and her whole look is just severly outdated. There is no place for her in pop culture today. Why doesn't this chick take a hint and go?

If this girl hd a brain her head she'd have moved back to Texas years ago and just married a verage looking rich guy who would feel lucky to have her and treat her like a princess and pamper her. Girl needs to hang it up.

Oh and please explain to me what is up with her parents? I think her mom seems as sweet as can be but the woman is homely and her Dad is like gay looking with his aged boy bander look. I totally thought he was doin Ryan Cabrera.
