Breaking: K-Fed Still Loves Pennies

Our friend Alex Blagg over at Best Week Ever actually went down to the Save the Penny...conference?...in Times Square today and interviewed Kevin Federline. Watch the video! And then rewatch Britney's Dateline interview and try to decide who's the brains in the family.

Also, please comment with guesses in the comment section on what K-Fed meant when he said "let's do it big 96" in his speech about how much he loves pennies. Our only guess is that he got the year wrong. That can't be it, can it?

Jesus that's scary. Brings to mind the priceless Pierce Bush clip...

Britney & KFed's trashiness cannot be outdone. Please tell them to get out of our city.

k-fed likes the dimes...the dime bags, that is.

Toby

Pennies are less annoying and useless then Kevin Federline.

jc

Alex Blagg's mother must be very proud of her son. After all those years spent toiling in Journalistic studies and countless student loans He's finally been able to wait numerous hours to get a shot at brownnosing Mr. Britney Spears, Kevin Federline. Must bring a tear to her eye.

I'm anti-penny. Screw the nickel too. the fed should just put out dimes, quarters, half-dollars and those great golden dollar coins.

Margaret

Um...I think "96" is smarmy code for 69. Like, "Heh, nobody gets it cause it's backwards."

K-Fed possesses a genius beyond our understanding I guess.

Here's what 100 years has done for the penny:

$0.22 in the year 2005 has the same "purchase power" as $.01 in the year 1905.

Even with a hair cut and a blazer he looks like slimy trailer trash. Someone kick his gross self out of NYC. We don't want him here.

Incidentally, did anyone read that article where they were talking about how a penny costs more than a penny to make? They aren't worth anything. Get rid of 'em.
