Sexting is back on all the homepages today. Ah yes, the sext message or “sext.” It’s back in the headlines for two reasons.
Remember disgraced politician Anthony Weiner, king of the sext? His sexting became national news for a couple weeks back in June 2011. He was sexting numerous women and his sexting pics leaked.
Well, Weiner (so aptly named) is now running for mayor of New York City. And he made a gaffe already, by placing the city of Pittsburgh’s skyline, instead of Manhattan, on his campaign poster.
On to the sports related sexting story.
According to ABC 7 Chicago:
A sexting investigation involving Evanston Township High School students has led the school’s athletic director to pull the baseball team from the state playoffs.
Evanston High School officials say several members of the baseball team were involved with allegedly forwarding nude or semi-nude photos sent by female classmates.
Forfeiting the baseball postseason over sexting? OMG! LOL! ROTFLMAO! OBVS!
Evanston forfeited to Taft high in the class 4A Evanston Regional. Their season is now done as the playoffs are single elimination. Evanston is also home to Northwestern, “Chicago’s Big Ten Team.” Hopefully a couple of these sexting addict kids go on to become Wildcats one day. After all, NU is right in their backyard. “RAR RAR RAR!!!!”
The article includes the sentence: “experts say sexting is becoming a serious legal issue.”
Really? I thought sexting was just harmless fun.
Oh, and any sexts that turn up from my phone are fake. I did not send them. My cell phone was hacked.
