I'm far from being the president of the Kevin Federline Fan Club (there is a fan club and the site has nearly 600,000 views: www.kevinfederlinefanclub.com) and I would be hard pressed to name so much as one of K-Fed's song, I think the first one was called Papa Zow or something like that. However, even I can admit that as much as he is an annoyance across the board, from his ridiculous behavior to his gold digger status to his seemingly endless number of public appearances from his feuding with the WWE Champ John Cena on national television to his cameo appearances on game shows such as 1 vs. 100, we need to give the guy a break.

What possible reason can any of us come up with that a man that has never amounted to a greater level of fame than a back-up dancer for Pink and his ex-wife and mother of two children Britney Spears should have been granted so much public attention by the mass media?

Apologetic but unrepentant, Nationwide refused to pull the commercial, insisting that it hadn't intend to insult anyone except for K-Fed himself.

And as much as the public- and Nationwide for that matter- might think that the ad is just making another joke- albeit a very funny joke- at the expense of the washed up rapper, the fact is that K-Fed willfully agreed to do the commercial. How much he was paid for the commercial is unknown to this writer, however, the fact still stands that through all that has happened in the life of the know dubbed Fed-Ex he has either still stated as materialistic as he possibly can while still remaining in the national spotlight, or the fact
