Wow, an unemployed YouTube user posted his cell phone number into a YouTube video and by the end of the weekend he had 5,000 calls and text messages. He gets free weekend minutes but said "Come Monday, no way I'm going to just hang up on people and say, 'I don't have the minutes.'"

I tried searching for the video since it wasn't linked in the article but I had no luck finding it.
