Jack in the Box sued over commercial - VIDEO

PRINT| E-MAIL|MORE

cowA couple new commercials for Jack in the Box's new sirloin burgers has spurred CKE Restaurants to file a lawsuit against the fast food chain. In one of the offending ads, Jack, the mascot, tells his fellow board members about the new sirloin burger. When he's asked to point to the "Angus" part of the cow, he says, "I'd rather not," indicating that it comes from the part of the cow that could be described as "Angus" without the "g." CKE Restaurants owns Hardee's and Carl's Jr., both of which serve Angus burgers.

CKE Restaurants, correctly, points out that Angus is not a cut of meat but a type of cow. The lawsuit, which was filed Friday, claims the ads confuse consumers into thinking that Jack in the Box offers a better quality meat than Burger King.

Jack in the Box has refused to remove the ads, citing an ad from Carl's Jr. that suggests its milkshakes are superior to its competitors.

What none of these lawyers and fast food owners have taken into consideration is that all this talk takes attention away from my new restaurant that only serves meat from the animal's butt. I'm calling it Uncle Rumpenstein's Booty Buffet. Grand opening is next month. Bring the kids.
