867-5309
Hmmmm... now where have I heard that number before?
LEWISTON (NEWS CENTER) -- Members of the Somali community in Lewiston say a poster put up in front of a local Somali owned store is an insult to their religion.
The poster depicts a vicious "lost" dog named Mohammed. That's the name of the Muslim prophet. It says that the dog is not good with children and can't be trusted.
Hussein Ahmed, the owner of the store, says the phone number on the poster is fake and that the only place it was put up was right near his business.
"This is really a religious statement," said Hussein Ahmed, "that is an attack on our religion which we don't feel comfortable with. We see this as a very bad insulting situation."

Of course it's insulting, anyone know where I can lodge a complaint on behalf of Rottweillers? Poor thing, no wonder he's mean, being named after the prophet of doom.
Why are you in my country? Go home Ahmed.

867-5309 was a phone number in several places, people would call that number when the song came out endlessly. I also remember the B-52's had a song that people dialed a lot. I live in an area with both these numbers and it made the news.
