Here is this week's On The Mark Transcript. Enjoy :)!
In the news this week…
Some of the most bizarre mistakes in the world come from typos seen in ads and other publications. Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chad Ochocinco recently released a limited edition breakfast cereal that featured a toll-free number to donate funds to Feed The Children. Ochocinco is one of many supporters of this charitable organization.
However, when people called the 800 number on the side of the cereal box, they were met with a sultry female voice inviting them to a naughty phone chat. The mistake was not the fault of Ochocinco, but rather that of the charity.
Boy, who knew you could get that much enjoyment out of a cereal box?

Do you remember riding the school bus to school? It was full of good times, lots of laughs, and if you lived in Fort McMurray, Alberta, maybe even a little drug usage.
Three British Columbia men were arrested by the Mounties after they were found driving in a van painted up like a school bus. The bust was a response to complaints from locals that the “bus” had been visiting schools in the area. The Mounties found several different types of drugs in the van.
I guess this is what my friends were talking about when they mentioned all of those “high times” in high school.

The posting of photos and other types of information on Facebook has led to the downfall of many a person. For one man in Australia, it cost him his marriage.
Less than a month after their wedding, the man’s new wife found out that her husband was married to another woman. She found the evidence on the man’s Facebook profile.
The man, who is known as Mr. Ling, is reportedly facing possible prosecution for bigamy, which has a maximum penalty of five years in jail.
Looks like Mr. Ling’s second wife has literally thrown the book at his face.

That’s what’s making news this week. For True Talk Radio News, I’m Mark David, and until we meet again, here’s a nugget of wisdom for your consideration: A word to the wise ain’t necessary - it's the stupid ones that need the advice. Think about it. I’ll see you next week.
