The Kathy McGinty phone calls

Filed under Art: Real World

Hamburger Records has made the (legendary) Kathy McGinty prank phone calls available again. In the calls, lonely folks trying to meet “Kathy”, a “girl” found through the internet, end up speaking to a sampler who spits back some strange responses to their attempts at conversation. Some of the callers figure it out, and keep trying to connect anyway. We guess when censorship groups try to hassle television for being too suggestive or violent or whatever, these people are who they’re worried might be watching.

Go to the WFMU site to check out an Mp3 of the Kathy McGinty calls, as well as a little more info on the release.
