CNN recently set up a 1-800 number so that people could call in
with
questions and comments about their programming. The number to
call
is
1-800-TALKCNN.

Mistakenly, however, CNN has advertised the 1-800 number as
1-800-CNNTALK.

Call the second number and you will understand why CNN is
extremely
embarrassed about their advertising blunder.

Don't worry, it's completely toll free.

terminus for a culture in love with its own dysfunction."
