Although the lawsuit that claimed Taco Bell only used 36% beef has now been dropped, the fast food chain isn't about to let the damage to their public image slide so easily. They use 88% beef, and how dare someone suggest otherwise!

So the company has launched an ad campaign demanding an apology from Beasley Allen, the law firm behind it.

Full page ads ran today in the Wall Street Journal, LA Times, and the New York Times asking "Would it kill you to say you're sorry?" Yo quiero apology? Taco Bell is planning on running the ads in local papers in both English and Spanish. So which is it? First they're happy to be sued, now they want an apology?

1. Hmmm, in their 'I want an apology' they claim 100%

below article has it at 88%. I have a question. What is the other 12% of my 'taco'?

2. Yeah, I saw it. My reaction: I guess I won't be eating at Taco Bell for awhile.

There are so many better places to eat, anyway. Hey, once a week I get our food from a local taco place where I get my crawfish burrito and my tempura shrimp burrito -- and unlike Taco Bell food, those burritos are gooooooooooooood!

An "in your face" taunt from a giant corporation.
