Lawsuit of the Day: Not Without My Angus
The Carl's, Jr. fast-food restaurant chain has sued competitor Jack in the Box over commercials that it says implies that its Angus burgers are made from, shall we say, the least desirable area of the cow.
When asked for comment on the suit, Jack of Jack in the Box had the following to say:
Jack: Relax, fella. Look over there! It's a Carl's, Jr. assburger. Hey, relax guy!Us: Um, you kinda just did it again.
Jack: What? Hey, relax guy. Have a Bacon 'n' Cheese Ciabatta Burger. Look over there!
We don't know about you guys, but Carl's, Jr. and Jack in the Box both kinda taste like that part of the cow to us. It's all about the In and Out Burger.
For those of you who, like us, don't live in Jack In the Box's advertising range, the ads are after the jump.

"angus" sounds like "anus" Get it? ha ha ha
Which part of the cow is the salmonella?
Way to swipe a post from Overlawyered.
You have In & Out in the south? No way.
Last week's news. It would have been nice if you had at least linked to a PDF of the complaint.
Billy Merck -
Polish those dialogue skills. The little blue box text, it makes no sense and thus is not funny.
What I do find amusing is that Jack-in-the-Box is able to capitalize on the ignorance of its customers to sell more crummy food: sirloin is a cut of beef, angus is a breed of cattle (originally) from Scotland.
Angus is a man's name.
Jack's commercial is about as mature and clever as mocking a woman named Delores or Mulva.
Hehehe. Mulva.
"Jack's commercial is about as mature and clever as mocking a woman named Delores or Mulva."
Or Billy Merck trying to simulate a dialogue between the Jack in the Box mascot and himself.
