Making the news now is word on the super bowl ad that Keven Federline (ex husband of Brittney Spears) filmed. In the ad there is a scene that shows him working in a fast-food place and having his boss yell at him to get more fries. The point is to show his low position. No big deal, right?The National Restaraunt Association issued a major letter saying they were offended; that this sends the wrong message about the food industry. Is this reasonable, or is this being hypersensitive and stupid?If I am in charge of fries and a fast food restaraunt, need I live with the delusion that my job is really important and should never be shown in a realistic light?
Seems to me this is part of our culture where everyone is easily offended so they can walk around as the poor, poor victim. What do you think?

Ha! This is funny that anyone would think that this is offensive. I don't look down on anyone that has a job ... it's my opinion that many people think they're too good to work at a fast food joint so instead of working the live off welfare. So I would much rather have someone be in charge of fries instead of getting government help!
Though I don't think that most people strive to be in charge of the french fries when they grow up!

Thanks for responding. I guess they were trying to contrast how 'high' he had risen with how low he had sunk. Whatever. Have a great day.
