I'd Be Insulted Too

Here's a laugh out loud story...

A restaurant trade group says it is insulted by an insurance company's planned Super Bowl ad that stars Kevin Federline as a fast-food worker.
...
The ad amounts to a "strong and direct insult to the 12.8 million Americans who work in the restaurant industry," wrote National Restaurant Association President and Chief Executive Steven Anderson in a letter to Nationwide CEO Jerry Jurgensen.

The commercial "would give the impression that working in a restaurant is demeaning and unpleasant," Anderson wrote.

Not only that, but it's just as insulting to imply that KFed is as smart as workers at a fast food restaurant.

I want to know what makes them think it isn't demeaning and unpleasant?
Making a poverty-level wage? Nope.
Coming home smelling like a french fry? Nope.
Having to stand in slimy grease 7 hours a day? Nope.

Maybe Kevin can jump on the book band wagon: "KFed-From Brittany to BurgerLand."

Earning a living, however you do it, is less demeaning than having the government take money from those who do so in order to support you.

If you have evidence that fast food workers are standing in slimey grease, you have a moral, and possibly legal, obligation to report this fact to OSHA and the health inspectors.
