Verizon Tech Accused Of Making $220K In Sex Calls On User Lines

Posted by samzenpus on from the lots-of-lotion dept.

Joseph Vaccarelli, a former Verizon Technician, has been charged with racking up $220,000 in phone-sex calls by tapping into the land lines of nearly 950 customers. Authorities say that he made approximately 5,000 calls, resulting in 45,000 minutes of call time. Verizon estimated that out of a 40-week period, Vaccarelli spent 15 weeks talking on sex lines. How in the world do you have this much phone sex, period, but especially at work, and not have anyone notice?

    So I guess 'idle' is /.'s way to try to emulate Fark now, huh.

    I have been pretty tolerant of Idle, and thought that the Hate Mail stuff was mildly amusing (well, so long as I'm bored out of my brains). But, do we have to have this drivel on the front page? This idle CRAP gets more coverage (i.e. it's a fully 'expanded' headline) than many Programming or Games stories (which are often 'collapsed' abbreviated headlines). What is the purpose of diluting the front page of /. with these stupid stories? If I feel like a laugh I will go to The Onion. Thanks.
