Drunk texting. If you aren't guilty of it, chances are you know somebody who is .
Check out this article = ) :

I see this as three things.
1.) Hilarious. Seriously. I laughed outloud when I read it.
2.) Relevant.
Why else would "textsfromlastnight.com" become an instant hit? I think we can all relate to this situation to some extent. Sometimes all it takes is a single drink to convince us that texting an ex, a crush, or whomever is a wonderful idea.
If we haven't already experienced what I like to call a gigantic "texting fail" that we cringe at the next morning, we've atleast had to exert some serious self control to stop ourselves from doing so. All of us have at some point atleast been on the recieving end. My roomies and I last year had a great time swapping "texting fail" stories if we ever had any. Drunk dial fails too. (It's pretty funny, when it isn't happening to you!) If you haven't experienced either, well then congratulations; you're probably the minority = ) .
3.) Pathetic. Because no matter how useful or funny it is, is this what our world has really come to? Is it sad that most of us can read that article and immediately apply it to our lives or people we know and understand why this application might actually be useful? (no matter how hilarious it is).
Alcohol + keypad = trouble!
Way to go Apple for realizing that!

haha wonderful! And guess what- there is a blocker for e-mail too! Gmail created an app where between the hours of 1-5 AM you have to do two short, simple math problems before sending a message. So FUNNY!
