Federline 'sorry' about Super Bowl ad

22 minutes ago

NEW YORK - Kevin Federline has something to say to those who are offended by an upcoming Super Bowl ad featuring him as a fast-food worker: He's "really sorry."
ADVERTISEMENT

"The commercial is completely intended for me, making fun of myself and my own situation," the aspiring rapper, 28, told Associated Press Television in a recent interview. "It has nothing to do with anybody in the fast-food industry at all. So, you know, if we've offended anybody, I'm really sorry about that."

National Restaurant Association President and Chief Executive Steven Anderson said last week that the ad amounts to a "strong and direct insult to the 12.8 million Americans who work in the restaurant industry."

Nationwide Mutual Insurance Co.'s 30-second spot shows Federline performing in a glitzy music video. However, the punch line is that he's daydreaming — while cooking french fries at a fast-food joint.

It's a "`Saturday Night Live' skit on myself. ... Maybe it'll land me some good roles in Hollywood," said Federline, whose debut rap album, "Playing With Fire," has had dismal sales since its release last fall.

On Thursday, Federline's attorney confirmed that K-Fed and estranged wife
Britney Spears will continue to share custody of their two young sons this month, following the terms of a January custody agreement. Spears filed for divorce from Federline in November after two years of marriage, citing irreconcilable differences.

"I'm a good father," said Federline, who wouldn't talk about his personal life. "I love my kids and I'll always be here for (them)."

Oh give me a break. For K-Fed to go from being Brittany's husband to a nothing overnight is funny. Most people don't go from a mansion to McDonald's overnight. It's funny.

How can anyone thinks that someone working at fast food place fantasizing about being a rap star is offensive?

Now you tell me- who doesn't fantasize about being a rock star. Hell how many CELEBS try it out (Paris Hilton, Lindsy Lohan, Hillary Duff, Eddie Murphy, Hoff...)- let alone doctors, lawyers, marketing execs, etc...

Come on. Chat Icon
