Federline Ad Angers Fast Food Workers

[Vodstok]

Members of the National Restaurant Association in the US are furious with Kevin Federline for appearing in a commercial demeaning fast food workers. Britney Spears' estranged husband recently taped an ad for Nationwide Insurance, which shows him daydreaming about being a rap star, but really working in a fast food restaurant. Representatives from the organization say the ad, which is set to debut during the Super Bowl broadcast next month, is "demeaning and unpleasant" to the nation's restaurant workers. Spokeswoman Annika Stennsson insists the ad could have been done differently telling PageSix.com, "A sudden change in Federline's career could have been depicted with him holding an unemployment benefit check. It shouldn't be necessary for a company to disrespect others to get its point across. It's a negative, unfair and inaccurate reflection." Nationwide spokesman Eric Hardgrove hits back at the claims saying the ad isn't meant "to offend or insult the many fine individuals who work in the restaurant industry." He says it's a "humorous take on one person's life. The focus of the ad is the element of surprise, not the setting of a fast-food restaurant."

I dislike that useless little retard as much as the next person, but what the hell?

"It's a negative, unfair and inaccurate reflection.


Huh? Negative? Sure. Unfair? I think not. Inaccurate? Bullshit! Ever meet a fast food worker that loved their job? I have known people that were lifers, mostly because they had given up and decided they could do NOTHING else with their life. fast food isnt a dream job, unless you come from a nation with a lower GNP than Kevin Federline's yearly income.

But...Wouldn't THAT be 'disrespectful' to people who have lost their jobs and are on unemployment?...Why didn't she say, "He should have been holding a welfare check"?...OH, wait a minute...We wouldn't want to 'disrespect' people who have no intention of ever working...Hmm...seems like that could be said about anything...


I think the truth is that NO ONE wants to be compared to Kevin Federline in ANY way, because...well...that's just disrespectful...


People are just ridiculous

You're forgetting about all the people who make a LOT of money in the fast food business by owning (sometimes multiple) stores. They're the people I bet are getting upset. Who care though, since when can we not insult ANYBODY? Stupid BS political correctness.

upon rereading it, and Advocacy group is pissed off, not the actual fast food workers themselves...

So, people with nothing better to do than complain are complaining for a bunch of people who didnt care enough to complain.

no kidding, it isnt a respected job, because damn near ANYONE can get it. If any high school kid or guy with a severe head injury could join the special forces, no one would respect them, either.
