AFP:
Journalists get shock with ’sexy’ White House call
WASHINGTON (AFP) – Journalists based in the United States got a shock Thursday when they dialed a toll-free number to join a conference call with senior officials accompanying US President Barack Obama in London.
The number turned out to be a sex chat line inviting callers to use their credit card numbers.
“Do you have any hidden desires?” a sultry voiced woman asked.
“Well, do you feel like getting nasty? Then you came to the right place — brought to you by the girls of Swank magazine,” she said.
Reporters finally got through to the two officials in London — National Security Advisor James Jones and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton — when they gave up on the US “800″ number and instead dialed an international number.
The White House did not offer an explanation when asked how it sent the wrong number in an email listing both numbers — one for journalists in the United States and the other for those overseas.
Maybe, just maybe, somebody better check what the heck is on the Queen’s new iPod.
