Regardless of whether you’re a sports fan, you may have heard of the big, BIG, B-I-G typo that hindered the fundraising efforts of Cincinnati Bengals’ wide receiver Chad Ochocinco.
On a box of Ochocinco's, that's a cereal in Ohio, there was a toll-free number that was suppose to connect people with the charity Feed the Children. Instead a single number error sent would be donors to a sex line where seductive voices answered the phone. OOPS.
Once the error was discovered late last week, Ochocino cereal was pulled from the shelves, but will be sold again once the mistake is corrected.
Ochocinco’s went on sale in early September so either no one called the number until recently, or no one has wanted to donate until last week.
According to the Detroit News, Ochocinco told a local TV station the number was CLEARLY a mistake and he’s sure the maker will fix the problem.
When was the last time a typo was big news, or even news for that matter?
