Fox Apology for Mocking Jessica Simpson's Weight More Timely Than Actual Joke

Written by Louis Virtel | 14 Oct 2009, 4:00 PM | 1 comment

jess_revised.jpgFox issued a statement today acknowledging that an NFL Sunday cartoon skit mocking Jessica Simpson’s weight was “insensitive” and “a poor attempt at humor.” A speedy apology, and I hope they issue the next one just as fast for renewing The Cleveland Show. Quick to cover the story objectively, US Weekly posted the apology on its website between links labeled “Check out pics of stars pigging out” and “See the plastic surgery nightmares of Jessica and other celebs.” Video of the apologized-for skit after the jump.
