Thousands upon thousands of cell phone users were receiving a recorded call today in SE Wisconsin. The message said something like "We're sorry to inform you that your debit card has been deactivated, please press 1 if you'd like to reactivate it."

People that pressed "1" were apparently connected to 9-1-1, which somewhat overwhelmed the local 9-1-1 systems.

So what is the point of THAT?
