Riiiight…. “Misprint” *wink wink*
no kidding! more like publicity stunt fail! I’d never heard of this cereal until now, thanks a lot failblog
Maybe it’s the proceeds of the sex line that goes toward feeding the kids?
Maybe the proceeds from cereal sales go to feeding The Ladies – or helping Chad Johnson make it “rain”.
Bet some people went ahead and took the woman’s offer.
sex line and cereal, nice convination
For when you want cream on your strawberries?
maybe they thought his name was Chad Sesentaynueve and not Chad Ochocinco lol!
I wonder what happened when a kid got on the line?
Phone pedo. When you hang up the police will be waiting.
Cereal sex offenders get milked in prison.
Wow, they pulled good cereal out of stores because of this. What a fail.
I hope you tried it before pronouncing it “good”.
Oh, that is amazing
Wow, thats an fail :3
oops i mean A FAIL!
Ah, who cares, I’m so confused about the rules of the a and an, that I don’t give an damn.
A normally comes before sht,An is used when the first letter of a word is a vowel.(a,e,u,o,i) because its easier to pronounce.
To make it simple, you use “a” when the word that comes after it begins with a consonant and you use “an” when the word that comes after it begins with a vowel
but there are exceptions for certain words.
I want to scream. I don’t know why.
This sort of thing seems to happen all the time.
A number of years ago my wife worked for a large bank, we’ll call it “Spew Yes Hank” to protect the guilty. They prepared a mailer, and sent it out to a bajillion customers. And oops, the 800 number on it turned out to be a sex line. Since it happened to her department, this isn’t a “friend of a friend” story.
I’ve heard many other examples of it as well. Which begs the question, are there THAT many sex lines out there, or do they scramble to buy up numbers after they discover a misprint (and if so, why? This isn’t exactly their target market…)
We had it the other way around.
A sex line had its number misprinted and we got heaps of calls from lonely men in the middle of the night….
I thought the real misprint was the misplaced apostrophe in the name of the cereal.
Where? I think it’s in the right place.
Possessive V. Plural
When I worked for a large phone company who shall remain nameless (but may or may not have a logo which looks like the Death Star *cough*), our department got a toll-free number.
Previously, that number had belonged to Oster (maker of kitchen appliances, hair clippers, and apparently personal massagers). That number was distributed through their owners manuals and apparently even a couple of years after they no longer had the number, it was posted on their website.
Thus ensued the following conversation with a coworker and a caller:
Coworker (male): “Thank you for choosing the Galactic Empire, how may I destroy your planet?”
Caller (elderly female): “My vibrator’s not working.”
Coworker: ” . . . um, excuse me?”
Caller: “My vibrator’s not working! My husband got it for me. It was workin’ real good, and now it’s not working!’”
Coworker: ” . . . ah, what, um, what company are you trying to call?”
Caller: ” . . . Oster . . . ?”
Coworker: “Oster . . . the appliance maker?”
Caller: “Yes.”
Coworker: “Oh. You’ve reached the Galactic Empire. Let me look Oster’s number up for you. Hold on just a moment, please.” *searches intarwebz* “Okay, their new number is xxx-xxx-xxxx”
Caller: “Thank you!”
Coworker: “Have a good day, ma’am”.
And THIS IS WHY every time we got a new employee we had to discuss sex toys with them and why it was a valid, work-related discussion.
(Although, to be fair, The Galactic Empire also offers TV in the form of Satellite and IPTV, and we were working at the office that monitored all the transmissions, including the premium pay channels, and so we all had to sign a waiver to not be offended if we saw something on a screen that would otherwise be NOT WORK APPROPRIATE. Heh.)
“Have a good day, ma’am”.
“Well, I mean, once you get that thing repaired, anyway…”
I used to do after-hours technical support for a software company. The helpline number was 1 digit different from a well known breakdown recovery service.
So at like 2am I’d get woken up by a phone call from some idiot who couldn’t dial the number correctly.
Idiot: “Oh hi there, my car just ran out of petrol because I’m an idiot. I’m stuck out in the middle of nowhere.”
I’d be like: “Don’t worry sir, if you can give me your location we’ll have a recovery vehicle out to you in no time at all.”
… etc
Then I’d go back to sleep.
I realised how people post things they don’t usually doon other forums, because they saw a pattern in the way others post and these people probably thought “failures in communication” meant they could post anything illogical or not.I did the same here.
But I think many read failblog mainly for these comments though, so keep it up peepos.
Wow, that was fast. I JUST heard about this yesterday. I knew it would end up here but didn’t expect it so soon.
Also, if you called the correct number, there was a message somewhere in that to call another number instead.. it was the same sex line. Whoever was giving this number out to the people who change phone system messages and the people designing the box gave them the wrong number.
TO THE GROCERY STORE!
The more o’s in your name, the more likely you are to get a cereal.
OMG I did this once on accident at MY job! Actually I did it twice. The woman was offended, the man thought it was helarious.
the real FAIL here is that chad the famewhore ochocinco has a cereal.. cant stand this guy….just play football and make millions of dollars…dating show? and all his other ventures make me sick..
the notice cause a mom heard her self echo?
Here’s the most infuriating thing about this story: THE NUMBER DOES NOT EXIST. I tried calling the supposed sex line after hearing about this story yesterday (I wanted to find out what the number spelled for the sex line), and all you get is an error.
The company who makes the cereal wanted free publicity for their product, and made up a story about it having a sex line on it. It may have been an accidental misprint, but the number they printed IS NOT A SEX LINE! They flat out lied!
Or maybe they changed the sex line after the story hit because kids were calling it.
Sheesh, people making judgements when they don’t even have 10% of the story.
