Celebrity Justice
Jack Won't Say Jack

JackA 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.

17. I've never eaten at Carls Junior simply because their ads are sexist, and they seem to only want to appeal to men. And I don't think we have Jack in the Box here in Oklahoma.

20. Oh what A-holes! Everyone knows that it was not Hardee's/CarlJr's that first had Angus burgers. It was Burger King so if anyone needs to be snotting and crying over stupid BS then let it be BK, I mean if you got to be ANAL about it all ! ^v^

21. Well - I'm a total loser - I didn't even get the joke. Now at least I know what they are laughing about in the commercials.

22. I thought the commercials were dumb, and it displays the ignorance of their "employees" to know the difference between a breed and cut. Makes ya wanna eat there... hoping they know the difference between different oils to fry their heart attack food in.

24. Right on fellow posters!!!

I haven't eaten at Carl's Jr. since they had Hugh Hefner on their, slamming marriage stating that you need variety in burgers like you need variety in women. The "guys are stupid" ads, and of course the skanky Paris Hilton ad just solidified my resolve to never eat there again.

Carl Karcher, founder of Carl's Jr., was a good, decent family man who did a lot of community service. This poor man must be rolling in his grave to see what has happened to his company.

Jack-In-The-Box was my favorite place to eat as a kid. I loved the "Rodney Allen Rippy" commercials of the 70's. I will eat there before I set foot in a McDonalds.

I say "GO JACK"!!
