Road-Construction Callers Get Sex Line . This one reminds me of the 800 number used by one of my former employments. We had quite a few complaints about the callers getting a phone sex line, too.

On another topic, April 2006 issue #464 of Mad Magazine was worth reading. Have you seen the Burger King "King" trying to sell his sandwiches, in the commercials on TV? Mad takes a look at the Burger King in 2 different places. In the The meat Shall Inherit the Mirth Dept. One picture shows The Burger King rolling on the floor with the guy's puppy. The little balloon says, "I'd like to buy your puppy! How about $1.29 per lb.?"
In the Err to the Throne Dept. some guy wakes up in bed, there's the "King" with a burger in his hand, sitting up in bed, right next to him. An arm pulls the "King" out and then we see that he's being kicked out of the Cardiac Care Unit.
Other enjoyable (more than normal) topics were the, "Mad Look at The Proms," Serge-in General Dept. and, "Planet Tad!!!!," In Blog We Trust Dept.
