I’m going to start this off by saying that I have nothing against Kevin Federline. All I know is I never hear that much about him so he doesn’t offend me as much as someone like Britney Spears or Amy Winehouse does. He seems to care about his kids and doesn’t make a spectacle of himself, so he’s already more swell than a good portion of the entertainment business.
But you mean to tell me that out of all the men in the world, he somehow makes it on Details Magazine’s Top 50 Most Influential Men Under 45 list? Kevin Federline? Has he even done anything the past year besides some bit parts on late night shows like CSI? The world is so piss poor that you couldn’t find 50 other men that are more influential than Kevin Federline anywhere? The very fact that Kevin Federline would appear on a top 1000 most influential men in the world under 45 is startling to me, let alone on a list of the top 50. In the world. The entire great big large global world. I’m intrigued. Lets see who else is on this here list.
Actually, lets first look at an explanation as to what the men on this list needed to have to qualify:
Because, as anyone who understands power knows, it isn’t about corner offices and cocktail-party invitations—it’s about the space in your head. And the men who have it are the ones who control your viewing patterns, your buying habits, your anxieties, your lust—the things you think about.
These are the people who have taken over the space in your head—whether you like it or not.
You know, I’m wrong sometimes, but I’m fairly assured in saying that Kevin Federline has not taken over even the slightest portion of real estate available in my head. You’ve got people down here that make sense, like Mark Zuckerberg (the founder of Facebook at 23 and my personal enducer of seething jealousy), Steve Chen and his sexy, sexy calves, and an argument can certainly be made for the Columbine shooters as they’ve influenced their fair share of copy cat fans.
But Kevin Federline? Because he won a custody battle against Britney Spears? Can I be one of the most influential people in the world if I win a game of Connect Four against my cat?
Absurd. You can view the top 50 influential men list here.
