Now I've heard everything and the world can stop spinning around.  Today on MSNBC I saw a report that K-FED (that's Kevin Federline, Mr Britney Spears) is on the cover of Details Magazine as one of the 50 Most Influential Men under 45. 

That's right folks, I'm not kidding.  The man who abandoned his pregnant girlfriend to cavort with Britney Spears, make two other children, and then leave her with her life in shambles is being touted as someone we should look up to.

Mothers, protect your daughters.  Fathers, protect your sons.  This is what the media is foisting upon our children as the role model to aspire to.  It's like picking up a rock, turning it over to the wiggling worms on the bottom and then saying "kids this is what we want you to become."

It's bad enough that they have him on the most influential list, but to put him on the cover is just plain ridiculous.  Get him out of our face already he's scum!

It's always the same.  The onus is on you to check and clarify everything.  You can't take anything at face value, especially today.  Between the media and spin doctors it's difficult to tell what's factual and what they made up.  That's why the recent exposure of fake Enron whistle blower Lynn Brewer was so interesting to me.

Lynn Brewer has delivered 200 speeches at $13,000 per appearance (which equals millions of dollars) by billing herself as the whistle blower.  She even went so far as to create a company called The Integrity institute.  Adding insult to injury, Ms. Brewer is listed with Nobel Peace Center Exhibition  She is considered a star and is a founding member of the Open Compliance and Ethics Group.  She delivered the keynote address at a Sarbanes Oxley conference hosted by the New York Stock Exchange.   She has spoken all over the world and at universities on the importance of Ethics. 

The recent article in USA Today that outed this unethical woman includes interviews with her former co workers who know her only as a back office researcher. 

Sherron Watkins, the REAL whistle blower bears a resemblance to Ms. Brewer and I can see how those who did not do their homework might mistake the two.   As  professional speaker and member of the National Speaker's Association (NSA) I find her behavior unforgiveable.  But those who hired her for speaking engagements should have done their homework better.   One can only wonder how those who heard her speak about Ethics feel today knowing they were listening to a fake and a fraud.
