Kevin Spenderline is trying to save the Penny

Kevin Federline is backing and supporting an effort to save the penny. No joke! There is way too much irony in this. Maybe Kevin has a sense of humor after all.

In an effort to promote its new text messaging service that allows customers to send messages for only a penny, Virgin Mobile said it would begin collecting signatures for a "Save the Penny" petition to convince lawmakers to save the single-cent piece from possible extinction.

Kevin Federline lent his support for the penny at a press conference on Wednesday. "I feel good about the penny," said Federline, speaking to a crowd of reporters and onlookers from the center of Times Square, before signing his name to the petition.
