Wrong number: Ochocinco cereal box includes sex line number!!!

Charity-minded callers are being intercepted by a phone-sex line because of a typo on Chad Ochocinco Cereal boxes.
The phone number is supposed to connect callers to Feed the Children, which benefits from sales of the Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver's cereal. But the box has the wrong toll-free prefix, meaning callers hear a seductive-sounding woman who makes risque suggestions, 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.
The low fat, honey nut, toasted oat cereal was available for $5 per box.
"Feed the Children inadvertently provided the producers of the cereal box with an '800' number instead of the correct number with an '888' exchange," Bailey said in a statement. "We greatly regret the mistake and the trouble it has caused, but Chad himself was in no way involved in this error."

Poor Chad, this one wasn't even his fault.. This guy just can't help but find trouble.

Football Sunday Etiquette

I know how frustrating it is watching your guy plopped in front of the TV for hours, instead of paying attention to you. I know how annoying it is when he screams at the TV in ways you didn't think he was capable of. But something I don’t know is how men actually care so much about their football teams. Its something I have decided I won’t ever understand.. But here are a few simple guidelines to follow when your boy watching his team.
NOTE: It’s very important you know your significant others favourite team, and can identify when they are playing. 
1.    Identifying the mood of the game is a strong required skill. (especially if its the favourite team playing). Sensing the tension is high between him and your TV means that it’s probably not a good idea to bring up.... well.. ANYTHING. Being quiet is probably the best for now. And if its really important.. don’t worry, there will be a commercial on in about 5 min!!
2.    Don’t change the channel! I don’t think I really have to explain this one.. Just don’t do it.. unless your looking for World War 3!!
3.    Yes Background music is ok..but remember its background music. The commentary is just as important to your guy as the picture.
4.    Having friends over to watch the game is the perfect way to make slothing around the TV a somewhat social event. But be careful, inviting friends over with strong opinions on the house favourite team can spark some unwelcome tension. Tips: remember that football is on ALL DAY SUNDAY games starting at 1:00,4:00, 8:00. Work around the schedule of your house favourite team.
5.    Snacks and Drinks are a great idea no matter what the ‘mood’ of the game!

While some of these rules seem serious. We have to remember it’s just a game to us, but it’s obviously something more to our much loved men. Be respectful while their watching their team and they will be forever grateful.
