There wasn't a "vote". It was a "list". An award based on "because we say so". No "consensus" necessary. And it was a list done by ignoramuses. At a scandal rag.

That makes much more, albeit it terrible, sense. I've never read/looked at the magazine and I didn't realize it was so low on the gossip rung.

Exclusive: K-Fed's Super Bowl Ad Continues to Stir Controversy
Nationwide Says Ad Is 'Hysterical,' Meant to Be Fun

Jan. 29, 2007 — As his rap career wilts and divorce proceedings with his estranged wife, Britney Spears, go forward, Kevin Federline is finding his life getting stranger.

Now a Super Bowl commercial depicting him as a fry cook has embroiled "K-Fed" in the middle of a controversy a full week before the game is played.

"Good Morning America" got an exclusive look at the ad set to air during the game.

The commercial by Nationwide Insurance implies that Federline has fallen so low that he is now a "fry guy" at a fast-food restaurant. The ad contains the tag line "Life comes at you fast" and has infuriated those in the restaurant industry.

"The ad is offensive to anyone who works in the restaurant industry," said Steven Anderson, CEO of the National Restaurant Association.

On behalf of the 12.8 million restaurant workers in America, the National Restaurant Association issued a formal complaint.

"We think that it is demeaning and we think it's offensive, and I'll tell you what, we've got a lot of restaurant operators who are very mad at Nationwide right now," Anderson said.

Much Ado About Nothing?

Nationwide Insurance said it was all meant to be fun.

"I think it's hysterical," said Steven Schreibman, Nationwide's vice president of advertising and brand marketing.

Nationwide representatives stressed that the commercial made a metaphysical point and used Federline as its muse.

"Life can change at any minute, whether it's marriage or divorce, or the birth of a baby," Schreibman said. "All of our lives can change at any minute."

Federline knows all about change. He was an unheralded backup dancer before he became husband to a rich pop princess. Now he is a jilted husband to a rich pop princess.

Some restaurant workers said the ad simply wasn't realistic. One waitress said that she didn't think Federline had the skills to work in her restaurant. Another man said, "I don't think he really has any skills."

It turns out that Federline once worked as a pizza delivery man. So, he does have some food industry experience.

Good lord. If they pull the ad because a handful of union reps want to make hay over it (the actual fry cooks probably couldn't care less), man is that sad.

I'd much rather they pull it because K-Fed SUCKS. Although I suppose that's why the union reps think they can get away with crying bloody murder.

that's ludicrous. I worked at a McDonald's back in the day, so I think that gives me enough "fry cook cred" to opine that most fry cooks don't really live under the delusion that they are highly skilled labor (and certainly aren't paid as such). Of course I was voted "Window Wiz" for my mad skills at organizing the drive thru orders (and taking new orders in one ear while paying change out the window and capping drinks) with great speed and accuracy . . . so maybe K-Fed would need to lay off the pot a little. Nah. I loved that he was a pizza guy. The circle of fast food.

What in the world is wrong with her legs? Way too much sun tanning lotion on the lower half of her body. It just doesn't match.

I was thinking the exact same thing when I saw the picture & was just about to post the same comment.

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that ol' Brit has been giving more um.. skin exposure... to the below-the-waist areas of her body lately
