« Caveat emptor | Main | Your own boulangerie » Wednesday, January 24, 2007Chef K-Fed? How insulting! As the Globe reported earlier, Kevin Federline, Britney Spears's babydaddy and wannabe rapper, is starring in a commercial for Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company to air during the Super Bowl. It's part of their "Life Comes at You Fast" series. The ad -- spoiler alert! -- starts off with K-Fed as a rap star. Turns out he's only dreaming, though: The commercial soon reveals he's really working at a burger joint. (Click here to see him in the studio rapping "Nationwide... Nationwide is on your side." Is it my imagination, or does he look a little embarrassed?) Pretty funny, huh? Not to the National Restaurant Association, which is trying to get Nationwide to kill the ad. Association president and CEO Steven C. Anderson writes in a letter to the insurance company: "We hope that ... Nationwide will not be airing such an ad that would give the impression that working in a restaurant is demeaning and unpleasant. An ad such as this would be a strong and a direct insult to the 12.8 million Americans who work in the restaurant industry." K-Fed a fry cook? Don't insult the hamburger flippers!
