Richard Branson Saves Kevin Federline From Britney Spears

Now that Britney has no real use for Kevin Federline, Virgin’s Richard Branson has, apparently, taken pity and recruited Federline for a Virgin Mobile Penny Texting promotion which seeks to leverage legislation that will, apparently, eliminate the penny. Branson, Federline and American Common Cents Director Mathew Eggers will be the first to sign a “Save the Penny” petition in New York’s Times Square Wednesday June 21 at 1:30 PM.

Virgin Mobile’s Penny Texting plan offers 1,000 text messages for $9.99 per month, hence the need for pennies. Nothing like leveraging disparagement, U.S. legal idiosyncrasies and the lowly penny for a marketing promotion but we’d expect nothing less from Virgin.
