One of my favorite Super Bowl commercials featured Kevin Federline (estranged husband of Britney Spears) performing in a glizty rap video. But really he is only daydreaming on the job - as a fast-food employee. Nationwide produced the commercial with their tag line, “Life comes at you fast.” I thought it was brilliant. The National Restaurant Assoication however, disagrees:

“The ad amounts to a ’strong and direct insult to the 12.8 million Americans who work in the restaurant industry,’”

President and Chief Executive Steven Anderson said in a letter to Nationwide. Anderson added that the commercial

“would give the impression that working in a restaurant is demeaning and unpleasant.”

I don’t think the commercial gives the impression that working in a fast-food restaurant is demeaning and unpleasant, I think working in a fast-food restaurant as a 30-year-old is demeaning and unpleasant.

I guess I’m not real sure what all the fuss is about. I would rather serve burgers and fries than be rich any day.
