Like so many ideas having to do with Chad Ochocinco, this one was awesome: A vanity cereal with info and a phone number for contributions to Feed The Children on it. ochocincos was a great idea right up until the moment folks dialed the number on their low-fat, honey-nut, toasted oat Ochocincos and found themselves hooked up with a phone-sex company. It seems the FTC number is 1-888-HELP-FTC; the sex-line number has an 800 prefix. "What! Are you kidding?" Kroger manager Eric Harmon told the Cincinnati Enquirer when a reporter informed him of the problem. "We have a huge display of that." Although he had nothing to do with it, Ochocinco apologized for the error, then joked (via Joe Reedy of the Enquirer): "Remember, this was made in Pittsburgh. Something isn't right." PBL Sports of, yes, Pittsburgh had no immediate comment. ocholinko

Savvy marketing. Everyone gets deniability, yet it gets sensationalized promotion.
