Would you call for God?

(CBS) Dawn Jenkins isn’t in the new Jim Carrey comedy "Bruce Almighty."
Her phone number, however, is — and that’s a problem for the Pinellas Park, Fla., glassmaker.
In the film, the nation’s top movie over the weekend, Carrey stars as a regular guy who receives the powers of God (played by Morgan Freeman) after complaining too much about life.
God tries to reach Bruce Nolan, Carrey’s character, by repeatedly leaving a phone number on his pager. But instead of the usual 555 prefix most television shows and films use in phone numbers, God’s number is a common exchange — too common for Jenkins’ liking. It’s her cell phone number.
She’s been getting about 20 calls per hour, with callers asking for God before hanging up.
"What am I to do?" Jenkins wrote on an Internet forum for visual artists. "I e-mailed Universal Studios about this issue … I think I want payment."
As an act of mercy, CBSNews.com is not mentioning the number here.
There’s not much the telephone companies can do for Jenkins, a Verizon spokesman told the St. Petersburg Times. They offer call-blocking and call-intercepting, but neither is a good idea for a businessperson trying to drum up business.
Reached by telephone, Jenkins declined further comment, saying only she wants to hire an attorney. Officials from Universal Studios did not return telephone calls by the paper Monday, which was a national holiday.
"I may have to change my phone number and it is a custom number," she wrote online. "It could only happen to me."
Jenkins isn’t alone in her plight. The number on Carrey’s character’s pager also matches the one assigned to a South Carolina woman who declined to give her name, but said she’s been "getting aggravated to death" by the incessant calling.
It also matches the number for a call center to a group of five Colorado talk-radio stations. Ron Nickel, senior vice president for the Radio Colorado Network, was worried what would happen Tuesday, the first regular office workday since the movie’s release.
"My receptionist is going to go crazy," Nickel said.

I’ve heard many times, that some of americans and british people are a bit dumb
So they are doing the strangest things and having the strangest ideas.
But would you call for God in this case? If this film would be Lithuanian film? Or just for fun?
Maybe it is very silly topic
Sorry for that
mhmmm… na, tai tik dar karta patvirtina mano nuomone apie amerikonus su britais ir visa ju dolbanna vakaru "kultura"
haki, tau metu kiek, 3.5? nu tada rekauk. paaugsi, snektelesma. beje, gal galetum pateikt irodymu, kad jo nera?
oi, labai daug skaityt 
, tyngiu, bet kadangi eina kalba apie dieva, tai - if there is a god in this world, than why man grand fatger was killed by drunk teenagers? he was very good man/grandpa.
i guess there is no god…
dejau skersa ant baznycios 
ok, paaiskinsiu esme lietuviskai
Fiiend, cia nera jokios sasajos su baznycia
Yra toks filmas "Bruce Almighty", kuriame vienam veikejui Dievas suteikia visas savo galias. Ir tame filme nurodytas telefonas, kuriuo esa gali paskambinti Dievui. Paprastas egzistuojantis telefono numeris. Kuri turejo kazkoks/kazkokia nelaimelis/nelaimele.
Taigi, paziureje ta filmuka, amerikenai puole jam skambinti 
. Pagal ta straipsni, per valanda ~20 skambuciu. Telefono numerio savininkai eina is proto.
Tai va, as klausiu, o tu skambintum? Jei viskas vykty Lietuvoj?
Ir prie ko cia baznycia 
no way 
I don’t believe of all this
You know - sometimes the readers/writers in EFC surprise me. As to write that "all people are dumb" from a certain nation, because a few do some fairly idiotic things… So how would it be if other nations judged your nation based on your comments? Or someone else’s???
I just deleted the comments containing swear words, but no more comments from me…
DarPo1, I am sorry, if I upset you.
Just it was very interesting to hear some opinion. Not of the dumbness of the americans. I believe that many of that people didn’t call exactly for God But they called to know who’s phone number was mentioned in the film
Well, maybe some kids believed it could be God’s number.
By the way, yesterday I was told about the similar situation in Lithuania, when the group "Biplan" sang a telephone number in their song So some people decided to test that number. Poor guy
there is one song which makes you to think about it…(what if he`s one of us?)…:
If God had a name, what would it be?
And would you call it to his face,
If you were faced with him?
In all his glory, what would you ask,
If you had just one question?
And yeah, yeah, God is great…
And yeah, yeah, God is good…
And yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah…
What if God was one of us?
Just a slob, like one of us…
Just a stranger on the bus,
trying to make his way home…
If God had a face, what would it look like?
And would you want to see it,
If seeing meant that you would have to believe,
In things like heaven and in Jesus, and the saints,
And all the prophets…
And yeah, yeah, God is great…
And yeah, yeah, God is good…
And yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah…
What if God was one of us?
Just a slob, like one of us…
Just a stranger on the bus,
trying to make his way home…
Way up to heaven all alone…
Just like a holy Rolling Stone…
Nobody calling on the phone…
Except the Pope maybe in Rome…
nelabai man sita daina patiko
what about me: I like it, I play this song with my guitar every meeting (with my best friends) 
best regards. Pneumant
R U a Hippy ?

Ger.Olo, kiek suprantu tai tavo postas?Is konteksto kai kas isplaukia ar ne?Gerai, moralu tau nevarysiu, matyt neisikirtai ka norejau pasakyt, tik pateikiu analogiska klausima-hipoteze: irodyk , kad jis yra?Nepamenu, kaip vadinas ta mokslo teorija, kai va , butent , taip formuluojamas klausimas, ir po to vyksta savo tiesu irodinejimas.Be to, jei jau toks mokslincius, tai galeciau tau pasakyt, kad ar alachas, ar dievas,buda, ar dar kaip ji bepavadintum visad yra auksciasiais, tai tik pavadinimas tam tikrose tautose kitaip skamba.Kaip sako: kaip pavadinsi, taip nepagadinsi… Sekmes toliau diskutuojant
Visad malonu sulaukt tamstos nuomuones
kryziuoti, isikirtineji pas mus cia tu. as tik bandau suprast. ir tai yra esminis skirtumas tarp musu. tau viska kirst, man suprast. bet tema ne apie tai. kaip jau minejau, as NIEKO neirodineju ir nesistengiu irodinet. as tik pasakiau kad TIKIU kad kazkas yra. gal aiskiau patapo? jokiu hipoteziu nekeliu. taip kad… nu ne i tema tu cia reiskies nuolat… bet tiek jau to. visada smagu paziuret, kaip zmones neva viska supranta ir "kerta"
