Airport Plastered Itself With “Call To Advertise Here” Ads — But Used The Wrong Number And Some Guy’s Phone Won’t Stop Ringing [Roundup]

News and notes from around the interweb:

• Global freight-forwarding and logistics CEO Ryan Petersen reports that Ho Chi Minh City’s airport is plastered wall-to-wall with the same “call this number to advertise here” ad—but when he calls, it rings some clueless guy in a loud kitchen, which (he quips) explains why nobody’s actually buying the ad space.
