Wee Bairn, I don’t think Kevin Federline did the same thing as someone leaving their wife for a hottie once they got well-known; I think his case is a gold-digger who saw a meal-ticket opportunity. I can applaud his savvy in marrying someone with money who would put up with him (and have multiple babies with him), and bankroll his career, and there are about a million women in the world who have done the same thing as he did, but he left his child and his unborn child to hop on his meal train, then fathered two more babies to leave behind, and that isn’t cool.
Add to that Fdederline’s getting a record deal in spite of having no talent and pretending to be a musician, and yeah, he’s not looking like much of a human being. Weird Al and his band are indeed real musicians; I can see where there would be some impatience with K. Fed’s act.

We in Holland have our own Kevin Federline.

Your whole post was awesome, but this opening line completely cracked me up. Kevin Federline as Jungian archetype.

Slight hijack here, but can anyone tell why K-Fed continually refers to himself as “The Pancake Man”? I started looking through his lyrics, mostly due to morbid curiosity, and noticed that he frequently refers to himself this way.
I didn’t look, but I fully expect he references himself being “stacked” and probably has a line about his “international house”.<SNIP>.

I would like to take a stab at guessing.
He’s doughy.
The Cracker’s version of being an oreo, he’s blonde on the outside and whiter in the middle.

It was hilarious, but I don’t think the humor was Zuydewijns, but the advertising agency’s. Zuydewijn was just broke and no reputation left to lose. I think Federline was in the same position.

I agree about Federline. My wife and I were talking about K-Fed’s Super Bowl commercial tonight, and she said, “Well, at least he’s got a sense of humor about it.”
“I don’t think that was him acknowledging his ludicrous public persona,” I answered, “I think that was just a sad, broken man.”
