Kevin Federline Superbowl Ad Angers Fast Food Workers

Kevin Federline is trying to have a sense of humor about himself, but there are some folks in the fast food industry that are not finding him very funny.

A top executive at the National Restaurant Association called the Superbowl ad featuring Federline daydreaming about being a rap star but in reality working in a fast-food restaurant as "demeaning and unpleasant" to the nation's 12.8 million restaurant workers.

A spokesman for Nationwide Insurance who sponsored the ad, responded that the ad isn't meant "to offend or insult the many fine individuals who work in the restaurant industry." He ads that it is 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."
