Idol Voting Lines Really Phone Sex Numbers?

Fans calling in to vote for their favorite contestant in tonight's episode of American Idol could be very surprised at who's at the other end of the line. Apparently when FOX producers decided that this season would have 13 finalists instead of 12, they didn't plan ahead to see if all 13 standard voting phone numbers would be available.

The usual phone number 1-866-IDOLS-XX (where the Xs represent a contestant number) are fine for singers 1-12, but check out the recent Twitter updates from host Ryan Seacrest from a few minutes ago:

RyanSeacrest crap, were gonna have a problem on Idol tonight - just dialed 1-866-IDOLS-13 and its not quite SFW...

RyanSeacrest oh man...1-866-IDOLS-00 is dirty too, lol. Just talked to one of the Idol producers and they have a plan...*crossing fingers* - ryan

A coworker and I definitely called the numbers to verify their content and yikes—Do not call it at work (or ever.)

Should be an interesting evening of Idol after all. While getting a new voting line shouldn't be that difficult, hardcore Idol fans are sure to be up in arms if any one contestant has a different type of number or anything that even would resemble an advantage or handicap.
