Yesterday, trusted new source CNN.com ran a video entitled, "Back off K-Fed?" I clicked, and listened to reporters talk about the "unthinkable," namely, how Britney Spears' recent crazy behavior is making ex-hubby Kevin Federline look good. The piece includes praise for Fed from People Magazine's Mike Fleeman, who applauds Kevin for "stepping in to take care of the kids."

For serious, Fleeman? Are we talking about the same Kevin "don't hate me 'cus I'm a superstar" Federline?

Britney Spears spending twelve dollars at a SuperCuts (fifteen with shampoo) doesn't qualify K-Fed for a Father of the Year Award. When one parental unit flies off the handle and in to a Malibu rehab center the other unit takes over--that's called parenting. Just because I haven't seen dude's genitals doesn't mean every Sally, Sandy and Star on the Strip hasn't, and if you gave me a pen and post-it note I bet I could draw a damn good approximation (to the left, to the left). What's more, when interviewed Fed says he tries to be, "...as honest as I can with my children and really try to help build their character to be as strong as ours is."

As strong as "ours"? Silly me forgot pop stars and wanksters are the bastions of social fortitude.

I'm not saying he sucks at life, I'm just saying K-Fed's "good by comparison" approach to parenting is nowhere near a societal standard. Spears needs help and I'm glad she's getting it, but let's be honest-- crap doesn't smell better because shit's around.
