Professional football player Chad Ochocinco's cereal is being pulled from store shelves after it was discovered that a telephone number on the boxes is a sex line.
The cereal, OchocincO's, had a typO.
The Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver tweeted an apology Thursday after news of the phone number, which should have been to a Oklahoma City, Oklahoma-based charity, made headlines.
"Awe man I'm bummed about the cereal number mixup on the cereal, trying to do good and got messed up, of all numbers why that one!!! Sorry."
"That one" happened to have the wrong three-digit prefix, which connected to a sex line. Feed the Children's correct number is 1-888-HELP-FTC.
But how did this happen?
Tony Sellars, spokesman for Feed the Children, reached by CNN via phone Friday, said it was just an honest mistake.

Ping...
THIS guys, not “thin” guy...
The idiot’s TV show should have gotten him an NFL suspension IMO.
What an idiot.
Mr. 85’s shelf life is expiring as well as his cereal.
He’s the only receiver in football whose team would have hired T.O. to calm down.
The next reality show- Keyshawn,TO,and 85.Guess which one is gay!
lol.
The Diva Show
The last NFL “star” who had an ego as big as #85 was Joe Theismann, who changed his name in college so it would sound like “Heismman” (as in Trophy), and who was ultimately the star of one of the most infamous pieces of NFL film in history when Lawrence Taylor sacked his ass and just about ripped his leg off live on Monday Night Football...
We already know Chad can’t dance...
Was the cereal Trix or Kaboom!?
I LOVED Kaboom as a kid. Its too bad they don't make it any more :0(
So then, this food product is marketed to appeal to those consumers who admire ignorant, puerile, pathologically narcissistic, juvenilia?
“I LOVED Kaboom as a kid. Its too bad they don’t make it any more.”
#####
Probably because of the politically-incorrect name.
Sound like the explosives we right-wingers are fond of deploying.
I wonder if this idiot knows he changed his name to eight-five not eighty-five.
I love reading threads filled with Freeper envy.
Perhaps he ought to have changed his name to Chad Sesenta y Nueve.
Now THAT’S funny...
cereal with a lil’ suga’! lol
