Let me begin by saying this: Kevin Federline is not a really loved celebrity. For those who don't know, this is something that has been going on since his glory days, when he was still Mr. Spears and he could buy anything he wanted with his wife's money, and then he got to rub our face in with 'Look, bitches, I'm a superstar and I'm gonna stay that way'!
Since Britney filed for divorce from his broke ass, Kevin has lost his modeling contract, saw his music career going down to the sharks and his acting dreams take the biggest plunge any wannabe actor has ever experienced. He was left with no money, got kicked out of the Malibu pad and his kids went to live with Britney (the two boys he had with her, not the other ones). No one wanted to work with him because no one wanted to be attached to such a loser (by the way, do you know there are at least seven entries in the Urban Dictionary under the heading 'Federline'? Yes, and they all mean 'loser'!)
There was only one company that still dared to approach him for a job, Nationwide Mutual Insurance. Of course, if we were to consider that said company also hired in the past MC Hammer and male model Fabio, long after their names had faded into the background, K-Fed's merit doesn't seem so big anymore.
What the 'rapper' did for Nationwide was not even that hard: he starred in their Super Bowl ad, in which he gets to make fun of himself. Under the motto 'Life comes at you fast', we see the rapper Kevin become in just a matter of 15 seconds a fast-food joint worker, flipping fries and taking meal orders. Yes, that sounds about right!
Useless to say, because he is such a known name and face, many CEOs of chain restaurants felt offended by the concept of the ad, for the simple reason that it depicts being a worker in the restaurant industry as demeaning. They asked for it to be changed or pulled out altogether from the Super Bowl schedule. Nationwide fought back by saying they have no sense of humor, unlike K-Fed.
Taco Bell begs to differ: Greg Creed, president of Taco Bell Corp. has extended an olive branch to the washed-up star, by offering him a part-time job in one of their many establishments. If he agreed to come and work for them for an hour a day, they will pay him and will even reward customers who come to the restaurant to be served by him with free meals. To make his decision a bit easier, together with the letter, Mr. Creed also sent Federline a Taco Bell uniform with his 'stage' name on the tag.
The full content of the letter is below. I have to admit it, this is the most extraordinarily planned and beautifully worded blow K-Fed received in his entire career!
'Dear Mr. Federline,
First off, congratulations on your upcoming Super Bowl ad. We heard it's generating a lot of talk, particularly about working in the fast food industry.
We know you respect those who work in our business. In fact, last year you said in an interview, "My kids are going to have to learn what a real job is, what life is. You don't have it easy with me. Period. My kids are going to work at Taco Bell."
We're flattered, but obviously they're too young to work for us. So here's our offer to you: Come work for us, just for a one hour shift. We'll get you a uniform, a custom name tag and show you what a great place Taco Bell is to work. We'll even reward customers who visit that restaurant with an order of our new Carne Asada Steak Grilled Taquitos for free.
We encourage you to continue to "Think Outside the Bun" and hope you accept our tasty offer.
Sincerely,
Greg Creed
President
Taco Bell Corp.'
