The Shirt Off Her Chest

In a bid to make up with Texans who blame her for ruining their Cowboys post-season hopes and dreams, Jessica Simpson has been flaunting her best assets to show her devotion to meat. There’s no word yet on how this is playing with the Dallas contingent, though it has to go at least a little way toward winning the hearts and minds of people who live in a city where you’ll see slabs of beef while strolling by the concession stands at the airport. We can report that the good people of New York (at least those from B.R. Guest which runs Primehouse, the makers of the T-shirt) are delighted. The shirt only costs 20 bucks in the steakhouse’s gift shop and has been selling so briskly that sales are limited to one per order. Of course, the good people of PETA are not quite as pleased and have helpfully provided the top five reasons only stupid girls brag about eating meat (“It steals food from starving kids! It’ll make you fat!”) on their blog called, er, the PETA Files (um, guys, you may want to rethink that one). Expect Tony Roma to soon be seen wearing the inevitable “Real Men Eat Tuna” T-shirt.

So The Butcher, perhaps blinded by his hatred of crappy pop music, stupidity, Proactive spokespeople and women in general, found fault with the attention Simpson has been receiving. Full text of our petty internal squabble:
