Somebody PLEEEEZE Buy K-Fed's CD

According Kevin Federline, after the extraordinary non-success of his first single, Popozao, he decided that the album he had recorded no longer fit the kind of music he wanted to make. So he went back into the studio and re-recorded the entire thing from scratch. No biggy. I've done it myself. But I have a suspicious feeling that EVERYONE around him realized that no one was ever going to buy it. Luckily for K-Fed, someone gave him a second chance. Chances are, that was his missus, bankrolling him so he can get something released.

Now she's practically begging for people, not just to buy his new CD, but to SELL IT. The fan who helps sell the most CDs gets to go to Brit and Kev's Halloween launch party. Sounds great, an inbred spasmodic white-boy rapper and his pregnant wife hold court while other people party.

The second prize, however, is a thing to behold. The sneakers Kev wore at the Teen Choice Awards. I could put those on Ebay, and see how much people would pay me to burn them. Or, you know, I could give them to charity and let some homeless guy walk a mile in K-Fed's shoes. Yeah, maybe I'd do that. It's much more like the American Way.

On a more serious note, I was listening to something on NPR the other day about cotton and developing countries, and how charities handing out free clothing to the poor is actually harming clothing industries in developing worlds because we're removing people's need to buy from local manufacturers. Where's that article... Ah, Bingo! Of course, it's not the only factor, but it's worth a long thought, IMO.
