Phone Sex: The Anti-Anti-Drug
One of Tennessee's anti-drug strategies apparently involves a hotline for at-risk kids who are sitting around thinking "What are the dangers of meth?" and decide to seek an immediate answer from the state of Tennessee. A brilliant strategy to be sure; alas, a neglectful typist has foiled the plan:
A mass mailing intended to warn young people about the dangers of methamphetamine inadvertently included a hotline number that rings to a telephone sex line.
The mailing was part of a statewide anti-meth campaign sponsored by a prosecutors' group.
"It's an unfortunate mistake when somebody types a 9 when there should have been an 8," said Coffee County District Attorney General Mickey Lane, whose office received several complaints. "What are the odds (of) it being a business such as this. I'm told that it's been corrected."
