LOS ANGELES - The parent company of the Carl's Jr. and Hardee's fast food chains sued rival Jack In The Box Inc. on Friday to stop TV ads that it says suggest Carl's Jr. and Hardee's use cow anus to make Angus beef hamburgers.

CKE Restaurants Inc. sued Jack In The Box in U.S. District Court on Friday over an ad in which executives laugh hysterically at the word "Angus" and another where the chain's pingpong ball-headed mascot, Jack, is asked to point to a diagram of a cow and show where Angus meat comes from.

"I'd rather not," the pointy-nosed Jack replies.

I like the commercial, and think Carl's/Hardees needs to put on their big boy underoos.

Yeah, but, this is exactly what's wrong with our country. Time's have truly changed.

Years ago people could watch TV without having people talking about someone's angus.

I was watching a cable channel the other day (not HBO or Showtime...just your basic garden variety cable channel) and someone said the "F" word.

I'm thinking..."WTF over????? Soon enough, people will be talking about each others angus's"

Sure enough...here we are talking about it.
