It's been all about the beef this year for Taco Bell, who's come out on top in the midst of a false-advertising lawsuit that objected to the chain's "seasoned beef." But yesterday, the lawsuit was dropped, and now the chain's gotten all haughty about it, launching an ad campaign demanding an apology from Beasley Allen, the firm behind the lawsuit.

Although we're only two months into the year, it looks like the Taco Bell beef scandal is shaping up to be one of the top stories of 2011.
