Call Chad's Cereal hotline for a good time

by palewook on Sep 30, 2010 10:05 AM EDT

A major misprint on Ochocinco's cereal has created a little headache for one of our favorite receivers. According to WCPO, the number meant to be printed on the back Chad's "Ochocinc'O's" should have been 1-888-HELP-FTC. Somewhere during the markup of the box artwork and when the actual printing of the box occurred, an error happened, with the number being changed to 1-800-Help-FTC.

PBL, who produced the mis-marked product, admits an error occurred and Chad has none of the blame for the error. However, Chad's name and face are on the product and the headlines feature Chad's name and face, not PBL's. The Boston Herald picked up the story shortly before I wrote this fanshot. Obviously, the Cincinnati Enquirer is covering the story as well. And there's always the Huffington Post which feeds off schadenfreude.

This is a FanPost and does not necessarily reflect the views of Cincy Jungle's writers or editors. It does reflect the views of this particular fan though, which is as important as the views of Cincy Jungle's writers or editors.

Someone from Pittsburgh has given Chad a taste of his own poison.

I guess the “I haven’t seen this many girls play since the last time I played the Steelers” comment might have ticked someone off.. It would have been it extremely funny if the person behind this wouldn’t have used “Feed the Children” as a way to pull of the prank.
