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!”
