After realizing what a douche move they made on Sunday with their skit mocking Jessica Simpson, Fox released a statement apologizing for being so inventive insensitive:
“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 rep for Burger King 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.”
We expect to hear Jessica reply with: “Fuck off and send free Whoppers!”
We kid, we kid…kind of.
