The Palm Beach Post reports that because of a misprint on Florida Gov. Charlie Crist’s webiste, Florida parents trying to call his KidCare hotline number instead dialed a phone sex hotline advertising “hot, horny girls.”

The Palm Beach Post, which broke the sex-line story and posted a recording of what KidCare hotline callers were treated to, reported that the governor’s office has since fixed the embarrassing gaffe.

Coincidentally, the Post is also reporting that this same sex hotline number has worked its way accidentally into several government and public assistance info line searches. Callers inquiring about water quality in West Palm Beach, Medicare in Pittsburgh, FasTrack driving passes in San Francisco, and sex offenders in Virginia, all heard the same thing:

“Hey there, sexy guy. Welcome to an exciting new way to go live, one on one, with hot, horny girls waiting right now to talk to you!”
