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.”

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.
