The Santa Clause Surprise

"Santa Clause" Had a Surprise for Grandma

The following article may contain material not suited for young viewers. Parents, please use your discretion.

Disney's movie "The Santa Clause" mentions an 800 number which led to an Ohio grandmother's embarrassment. In the PG-rated film, Tim Allen's ex-wife offers to give him her phone number and he jokes, "What is it? 1-800-SPANK ME?"

Well, the grandmother, Shirley Dirth, thought the number was phony so she didn't mind letting her two grandchildren call it. She was quite shocked when they connected via her speaker phone to a phone sex line which let callers choose their own fantasy. On that real phone number, a woman's voice says, "Hi, sexy! You've just connected to the hottest phone line in America."

A spokesman for Disney has said it is just a coincidence and no one is begin punished. Hmmmm, a coincidence? Or was some Disney screenwriter being naughty and not nice? ;-)
