Some think that former governor of New York Eliot Spitzer could be behind the slip in the proofreading, but the carrier card for the new duck stamp also carries a misprint that’s sending callers to a sex line.
Duck hunters are invited to a different kind of sport when they call the number, which takes them to a certain “Intimate Connections” with a husky female voice inviting them to “talk only to the girls that turn you on,” for $1.99 a minute.
Blame it all (or thank) a printing error — instead of listing 1-800-782-6724 (1-800-STAMP24, it lists 1-800-872-6724 (1-800-TRAMP24).
Strangely enough though, no one seems to be complaining.
“I’m going to order a lot more stamps,” said New Jersey native Brad Jones, who’s suddenly become a die-hard fan of duck hunting, having called the number three times to ‘order duck stamps.’
It has even enabled 14-year-old Kevin Anderson to discover a new world. He’s raised money with his neighborhood gang to pay for some steamy chats. “I had no idea such a thing existed, me and my friends love it,” said Kevin.
About 3.5 million federal “duck stamps,” featuring artwork by a Plymouth artist, are affixed to a card that bears the misprinted number, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said Wednesday. Cost of reprints? About $300,000.
The revenue from duck stamps goes toward purchasing waterfowl habitat for the National Wildlife Refuge System. For 2006-2007, that amounted to nearly $22 million.
The card also carries their website URL duckstamp.com. Hmm… wish there was a misprint there as well and they’d printed offbeatbuzz.com.
