Typo in state government press release directed callers to a ‘free and fun party line’
Whoopsie.
Learning more about Cyber Security Awareness Month has never been so much fun.
The state Department of Administration and Finance directed readers to a “free and fun party line’’ this month in a press release typo, The Boston Herald reports.
The release, about Cyber Security Awareness Month, accidentally directed media inquiries there instead of a department spokesperson. Here’s what callers heard when calling that number, according to the Herald:
“You’ve reached the free and fun party line, but if you’d like to call a hot and wild adults only party line, you’re 18 years of age or older, call…’’
“This was an obvious typo,’’ Dominick Ianno, chief of staff and communications director for the Administration and Finance Department, told the Herald. “After all, nothing is free and fun in the Executive Office for Administration and Finance.’’
