Cereal That Leads You To Sex?

I'm sure most of you have heard of Chad "Ochocinco." He plays for the Cincinnati Bengals, and if you don't know him by that, then maybe you recognize the name from his VH1 show "Ochocinco: The Ultimate Catch." One of the many celebrity "dating" shows where the celeb brings a handful of men/women in one house hoping to find "love." I was looking online on some news website under the "odd stories" section, and stumbled across something funny concerning him. Ochocinco had recently released a limited edition cereal box aimed to help the foundation Feed The Children. On the box, it had a number for the Feed The Children foundation for people to call if they wished to make a donation. Too bad the number led to a sex hotline instead. The number on the box says 1-800-HELP-FTC, when in fact the actual number is 1-888-HELP-FTC. A Cincinnati woman first called in the misprint after her and her 9-yr-old daughter called the number in hopes of finding out more information about the foundation, when instead she was greeted by a sultry voice trying to lure them into a sex chat for $2.99 a minute. The cereal boxes are expected to be pulled off of the shelves and the misprint to be fixed. I just thought I would share this because I find it funny how a misprint on a box of cereal trying to help kids led to a sex hotline, the total opposite of what the charity is for.
