Louisiana yellow pages direct motor vehicle calls to sex line

MONROE, La. – A misprint in the 2004 BellSouth Yellow Pages for northeastern Louisiana means callers who dial an 800 number expecting the Office of Motor Vehicles are instead being connected to a phone sex line.

What should have been an 877 number connecting callers to the OMV in Baton Rouge was printed as an 800 number that gives callers over 18 the opportunity to "talk only to the girls who turn you on" for $1.99 per minute by pushing 1 on a touch-tone phone.

The phone number was correct in last year's phone book, Dennis Colvin, Monroe's regional OMV manager, said Tuesday.

"The only information that [should have] changed was the address from St. John Street to Northeast Road," he said.

Michelle Rayburn, public information officer for the OMV in Baton Rouge, said she didn't know how the error occurred.

"Everything we submitted to BellSouth was correct. That's really all I can tell you right now," she said.

Wynn Lawrence, regional spokesman for BellSouth, said the company was aware of the error and regretted any inconvenience caused by it.

"We publish over 500 directories across the Southeast with a 98 percent level of accuracy. Unfortunately, errors do occur occasionally," he said.

The OMV uses the toll-free 877 number statewide, but apparently because of the way the phone books are printed in shifts, only the northeastern Louisiana directory has the typo, Mr. Lawrence said.

BellSouth was working with the OMV to come up with a solution to the problem, Mr. Lawrence said.

But as I said i have waaay too much class to sink down into the gutter.
