A fast food giant is making a huge stink over Jack in the Box's toilet-humored attack on Angus beef. It seems that there is a fine line between steer and rear.
Jack -- the styrofoam-headed, jovial pitchman for the Jack in the Box fast food chain -- ducked TMZ's requests for comment over a lawsuit about a commercial that makes his rival fast food joint the butt of a burger joke. Bummer.
The parent company of Carl's Jr. and Hardee's filed the lawsuit over a hilarious ad that depicts Jack in the Box employees -- lead by the aforementioned Jack -- laughing about Carl's Angus hamburgers by acting as if they're called "anus." Tee-hee.
Carl's peeps contend that Jack's commercials falsely imply that Angus beef burgers come "from the rear-end and/or anus of beef cattle, by creating phonetic and aural confusion between the words 'Angus' and 'anus.'" That's just silly -- everyone knows Angus beef comes from Uranus.
TMZ tried to contact Mr. Box to try and get to the bottom of these allegations, but we were cast a(back)side.

Hey, maybe Jack's claim has some truth to it after all. I am not joking, this is a true story. About 18 years ago my brother worked at a Carl's Jr. It was his first job, he was 15. He told me years later that there was a guy that worked there that would stuff hamburger buns down his pants, and rub it all over his butt. NO JOKE. I asked my brother if this guy did it all the time, and he said it was just to the jerks. I learned a lesson I will never forget. Always be nice to people serving your food.
Jack in the Box Commercials are the best ads on the tube these days. They are imaginitive and funny and the competitors like Car'l are just envious that they can't even come close when it comes to advertising their product. If this lawsuit goes forward, it can only make the court system look foolish. What judge want's to look like a fool. Keep up the great ads Jack.
No matter how funny their ads are.. I'm not going to forget that JB killed people with bad meat. I'm sure they would not be happy if someone were to make an ad about that.
This is all so pathetic...it's almost non-funny. Oh my gosh. JIB, must be having trouble selling burgers if they stoop so low.

Carlâs Jr. and Hardeeâs have had some of the most lewd, inappropriate for prime time ads for the past ten-or-so years. We stopped patronizing them as a result. Remember the breakfast sandwich ad in the night club with the âshould I call you or just nudge youâ for breakfast line? And, of course the ad with you-know-who all over the car. That sure said fast food!
Jack-in-the-Boxâs ad is bathroom humor, but I donât have to make my kids leave the room. In fact, they think itâs funny.
Carlâs Jr. and Hardeeâs are being poor sports with this lawsuit. More reason to stay away from their establishments.
TEAM JACK IN THE BOX!
Hi, I would like introduce you the sec.un.dum (http://www.secundum.com.br). It looks like a Brazilian Technorati which pays for post's bloggers. In the last month, sec.un.dum paied 2.4 dollars for each post in the 100 more visited list. This month it will pay 5 dollars. The site is a blog community for portuguese content.
Of course Kids think it's funny they don't know any better. But this is a food commercial you do not want to think of a cows butt hole when your eating a hambugar!! Esp: if you think thats what your eating, It makes me want to never eat a hambuger again.
Jack in the Box is just turning people away for their own restaurants. They may turn people completely away from eating meat. we would all be better off without it anyway.
Best story yet...and by the way, I take a half dozen tacos to go JACK....mm-mm good!
