In an article that trounces the Hollywood trend of "throwaway children," journalist Andrea Peyser makes an interesting argument: between Britney and K-Fed, the latter is the better parent.

How could this be? The man is a borderline national embarrassment, right? Or, at least in this case, maybe that's a good thing. According to Peyser: "Maybe it's because he's a loser - one who is making a calculated joke on his status, appearing in a Super Bowl commercial as a lowly fry cook." Maybe, or perhaps the paparazzi aren't as interested in following around an ex-husband who won't be flashing anyone as gets out of limos.

But is it true? When you compare K-Fed to the "overprocessed, gum-snapping hair extension that is Britney," does he look like a decent father?
