Fast-Food Industry Hates K-Fed's Commercial Too

I wrote last week that Nationwide Insurance would feature no-talent baby-maker Kevin Federline in a Super Bowl commercial. The AP provides some details:

[The] 30-second spot shows Federline, who is estranged from pop princess Britney Spears, performing in a glitzy music video. However, the punch line is that he's daydreaming - while cooking french fries at a fast-food joint.

Seems harmless enough, but the National Restaurant Association vehemently disagrees. "The ad amounts to a 'strong and direct insult to the 12.8 million Americans who work in the restaurant industry,'" National Restaurant Association President and Chief Executive Steven Anderson wrote in a letter to Nationwide CEO Jerry Jurgensen.

Anderson added that the commercial "would give the impression that working in a restaurant is demeaning and unpleasant."

Whatever your thoughts on working in a restaurant, there's no doubt that working in a restaurant with K-Fed would be demeaning and unpleasant. I mean, what does it say about you, the restaurant employee, when you're no better than some dude who could only manage to sell 6,500 copies of his debut rap album, "Playing with Fire" in it's first week of release. It would make you suicidal, I'd imagine.
