BWAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! So much for proofing. Ochocinco FTW! ~~~~~~ Sex line on Chad Ochocinco's cereal CINCINNATI -- Charity-minded callers are getting intercepted by a sex phone line because of a misprint on Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chad Ochocinco's namesake cereal boxes. The phone number is supposed to connect callers to Feed the Children, which benefits from sales of "Ochocinco's". But because the box has the wrong toll-free prefix, they get a seductive-sounding woman who makes risque suggestions and then asks for a credit card number. Cincinnati-based Kroger Co. said Thursday it was pulling all Ochocinco cereal boxes from its grocery shelves because of the error. Some local stores had them on special display after the launch about a month ago. Tara Sands of Reading, Ohio, told WCPO-TV and the Cincinnati Enquirer that her family called the number on the box hoping to learn more about the charity. "We don't need anything to give our Bengals a bad name, especially Chad," Sand told WCPO. "He's obviously trying to do something great by doing this [for] 'Feed The Children.' " Ochocinco told WCPO that the number was clearly a mistake and he's sure that the maker will fix the problem. A woman who answered the phone at Pittsburgh-based PBL Sports, which specializes in such limited-edition products featuring star athletes and their favorite charities, told the Enquirer that the company is looking into the situation. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=5632476&campaign=rss&source=ESPNHeadlines
I told them about it... but they said: "Eff you and your grammar, SwoLy!" just like people do here on the BBS...
Sounds innocent enough, except.. How the heck did 1-800-help-ftc happen to be a sex line? Anyone checked to see how long it has been in operation? I bet it only popped up in the last month due to the misprint on the boxes. Scummy people will do scummy things.. grrrr
It probably just uses the same numeric values as "HELP FTC". The numbers 4357382 could easily spell out anything else.
I appreciate your grammar corrections with. You're single-handedly making Houston a better/smarter place.
That's what SHE said. Thank you, sir. YOU SEE EVERYONE?!?!?! Someone DOES appreciate my grammar skills. Apologize to me!!!!
Had this happen to me when I was in high school. A local escort company transposed two numbers and published our home phone as their contact number. We used to get calls all hours of the night. After a while, my sister and I jacked with them and would ask for their business phone number, wife's social security number.
