K-FED AD INSULTS FAST FOOD WORKERS
Kevin Federline may want to think twice before eating at McDonalds. The soon-to be ex husband of Britney Spears and wannabe rapper incurring the anger of the fast-food industry with a soon-to-be aired commercial for Nationwide Insurance.

The commercial which runs on Super Bowl Sunday shows K-Fed fantasizing about being a big-time rapper — but is actually a short order cook at a fast food joint. Federline says the commercial attempts to make fun of his own image. But a top executive at the National Restaurant Association doesn't see it that way. She blasts the ad as "demeaning and unpleasant" to the nations nearly 13 million restaurant employees. "It shouldn't be necessary for a company to disrespect others to get its point across," restaurant rep Annika Stensson told the New York Post.

A Nationwide spokesman defends the K-Fed commercials. "It's a humorous take on one person's life. The focus of the ad is the element of surprise, not the setting of fast-food restaurants.


Oh yeah, right. They're making fun of the element of surprise only. Let's just see what our friend the Geico Caveman has to say about that.



Geico Caveman: "What if he woke up as an insurance company spokesman?"
Nationwide Spokesman: "Well , that wouldn't be funny."
Geico Caveman: "Why? Because insurance company spokesmen are smart?"
Nationwide Spokesman: "No."
Geico Caveman: "Because insurance company spokesmen make over minimum wage?"
"Nationwide Spokesman: "Um, dude, you do realize that YOU are also an insurance company spokesman, right?"
Geico Caveman: "Oh right. I guess I'm outta here then. SCREW YOU FAST FOOD WORKERS!! LOOO-SERS!!!"
