Dad Receives Thousands Of Birthday Calls After Sons Prank Him With A Devious Yet Brilliant Billboard Ad
Twitter | Chris Ferry | @BostonTessie

Have you ever given your parents a great birthday gift only to think, 'how am I going to one up this one next year?' Well, Chris Ferry Jr. just gave his father, Chris Ferry Sr., the birthday present to end all birthday presents.


You see, he put up a billboard with a photo of his father along with his phone number, inviting people to call him to wish him a happy birthday.

And people obliged. According to the BBC, Chris Ferry Sr. has received thousands of phone calls from all over the world to help celebrate.

According to a local ABC affiliate, the first text came only minutes after the billboard went up just outside of Atlantic City.

"It said, 'Happy birthday.'
He texted back, asking, 'Who are you?'
'My name is Nick.'
'How do you know it's my birthday coming up?'
'I saw it on a billboard.'"

It soon went viral on social media. Soon after, calls and texts flooded in from places as far away as the Philippines, Kenya, and Luxembourg.

Chris Jr. went on to explain...

"We thought it was going to be a local joke, people would call. I guess when we put it on social media, that's when it really started going crazy."

We even got to hear from the man himself.

People showered Chris Ferry Sr. with birthday wishes on Twitter.




Though some thought that the attention was perhaps unwanted.




Though most loved it.




Happy birthday Chris Ferry Sr.! Hopefully the phone calls stop soon.

GOP Lawmaker Sparks Outrage After Calling For Dem Rep. To Be Executed For Urging People To Protest Trump

On Wednesday, September 25, an Arizona MAGA Republican state Representative publicly called for the execution of Washington Democratic Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal because she urged anyone displeased with MAGA Republican President Donald Trump's job performance to exercise their First Amendment right to free speech and to protest.

Apparently, urging citizens to make their voices heard was a step too far for Arizona state GOP Representative John Gillette, who responded to a clip edited out of a longer video by right-wing account The Patriot Oasis (TPO). A quick scan through Gillette's X account media posts will reveal his political leanings.

Liberal TikToker Mortified After Discovering That Her Therapist Is Hardcore MAGA

There used to be a time where politics did not have to come into every room or be a part of every conversation. But in a world with President Trump and MAGA, it's not as simple as being Red, Blue, or Green anymore.

Now, the sociopolitical climate is dangerous for many people and still very stress-inducing for others. It's important to surround ourselves with people who make us feel safe and seen—and unfortunately, that might mean cutting out people who have "different beliefs" than we do.
