Hello, You Have Reached the Offices of God...

So, the producers of Bruce Almighty are feigning innocence over using a real telephone number in their film. I'm sure they never gave a single thought to all the free publicity they would get by not using the standard 555 exchange. Universal Pictures would never do such a thing! It was an honest mistake. They had no idea people would call the number, making prank calls or true confessions to God. It was purely a coincidence that the number reached a radio network that is creating a contest around the whole debacle. Big, big coincidence! Silly movie studio! Next time, they promise to think ahead. They're new at this whole thing. Oops! Sorry!
