Freaky phone sex Friday

I can only imagine the Google traffic I’m going to get for this.

Also from today’s Dong-A:

Employers of phone sex companies have been arrested on charges of taking the personal information of 8,420,000 customers from rival companies and sending about 100 million lascivious text messages to them.

OK. This was over in the sidebar until I looked at the numbers again. They took the personal info of 8.4 million customers? (First, that’s a lot of customers. More than half the population of Seoul gettin’ it on via cellular. You horny little freaks, you!)

But, they sent 100 million text messages to 8 million people? I’m surprised anyone gets any work done here. Am I reading this wrong, or does something not compute*?

*Alright, alright. From reading the story, it appears the writer (who hopefully translated the numbers correctly–though it still looks like they might have gotten eight thousand confused with 8 million) might have confused number of pieces of consumer information, with number of actual consumers. But, still, it’s a really funny lead. . .
