Kfed Nationwide ad

This ad cracked me up but when I researched it, I found that it had been somewhat controversial and Federline ended up issuing an apology.. People saw it as an insult to people who work in the restaraunt industry… I think this brings up a number of really widespread stereotypes about that industry. I’m not sure if I really found it particularly offensive though… what do you think?

    HAHAHAHAHA!
    i saw that ad as well & frankly almost peed myself. honestly i don’t think it had anything to do with ragging on the fast food industry but more of just making fun of kfed who apparently started his career at mcD’s. so he’s come full circle it seems, and that’s pretty f-ing funny.

    i remember this commercial and i think its great. i also think that it is making fun of KFed, he has always been sort of a joke to most people and now he is making fun of himself

    i never really thought about it that way… i can see why people would be offended… i guess if i worked at a restraunt i would not want to be portrayed in that light either (despite it being relatively true) :-/
