Texting a video, oh my, that must have been exhausting per se but with the touchscreen smartphone keyboard it seems even more epic, to write so many 0s and 1s.... kudos also for the receiver that translated the binary into a reproducible format...

Personally, I've only sent videos that I've intended. Typos, sure that's understandable as autocorrect can be a true bastard at the worst moments; after reading the article, something about the situation makes me wonder if he intentionally sent this video and was hoping for a different response after she received his wank video. It's hard to accidentally send lewd content to another person if you are being diligent about checking if you've selected the right recipient (always verify the receiver before sending lewd content). Good for the City Attorney for calling this man out on this alleged mistake.

But then it goes into the other problem. They just had a conversation about a cop killing himself, then he immediately though to send her that.

Time to tow the clown car to the dump, all the clowns are out.

Immediately reminded me of this skit from Key and Peele : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbGAaEnecfU

I could see accidently leaving your camera on but this guy had to make a deliberate step to save it and send it.

I'll need to see the video before I'm willing to make any judgements. Inshallah

Anthony Weiner woke up in a cold sweat. He had no idea why.
