The Price Of Boredom

An unemployed Massachusetts man who clearly has too much time on his hands posted a video on YouTube Friday offering his cell phone number to anyone who wanted to chat. The result, according to The Boston Globe, was more than 5,000 calls and text messages. Ryan Fitzgerald said he planned to take as many calls as possible, but realized early Monday morning that his free T-Mobile weekend minutes were used up. "I haven't quite figured out what I'm going to do about it," he told the newspaper. "But something needs to be done, because I'm going to end up with a $20,000 phone bill."
Update: Fitzgerald reacts to an onslaught of calls. Watch the video here.
