What the Hell Theater - 6/30

A Seal Beach, California, father said his 11-year-old son tried to enter a Cartoon Network contest and a single digit dialing error took him to a phone sex line. The father said his son, Nico, dialed after the number flashed on the screen Monday night, but he accidentally dialed 1-800-556-1600 instead of 1-800-566-1600. What he heard was a recording of a female voice telling him to dial a second number. "Hey there sexy guy," a female voice said when Nico called the second number. "Welcome to an exciting new way to go live one-on-one with hot, horny girls waiting right now to talk to you." The call was on speakerphone and the father quickly told the boy to hang up. "


Authorities in Massachusetts have decided to stop going after a man who faced a criminal complaint for failing to appear for jury duty after learning he's been dead for five years. Michael Wylie was alive when he was called for jury service, but was in hospice care at the time and died a few months later. Officials, unaware he had died, continued to send letters about his failure to report. His family says they tried to tell authorities that he had died, but officials say the family never sent a death certificate.
