The Kevin Federline Super Bowl commercial for Nationwide has been leaked. Enjoy:
Let me state up front that I'm coming from a biased position ... I'm not a Kevin Federline fan. Honestly, the fact that I know who this clown is makes me want to ram my head through a plate glass window.
That said ... his willingness to poke fun at himself in a commercial moves him up a notch in my book. That puts him at notch 1. Of course, I'm sure he was paid pretty handsomely to poke fun at himself, so it's not like I'm looking at him a some kind of noble being. But it's good to know that he doesn't take himself so seriously. It's a funny commercial. I still don't like him as much as Carson Palmer does, though.
As mentioned earlier in the FanHouse, the National Restaurant Association voiced some displeasure with the commercial, as it sort of implies that people who work in fast food restaurants are losers. And they're right, it does imply that.
So if you're reading this and you work at a fast food joint, please take my word for it: you can elevate yourself above the level of Kevin Federline. The Nationwide people wanted someone regarded as a huge loser to hammer their point home ... and they picked Federline, not you. He's on the way down. You're on the way up.
And our thanks go out to the gentlemen at the fine Awful Announcing sports blog for the heads up.
