You (should) Have the Right to Remain Sexting

Have you kids following the story about cops sexting on their work-provided phones?

We have, but we're not sure it's Surpreme Court worthy. Shouldn't people expect that their company-provided phones can be--and probably are--monitored? How hot and heavy are these texts that it can't wait a few seconds until you grab your personal cell?

Or is it that work-provided phones are often Blackberries, which make for easier texting and sexting? Let's go with that.

So, note to employers: Don't get your workers fancy, full-keyboard phones unless you're okay with them getting dirty on your dime!

Where Have All the Sexters Gone?

So much for all of those crazy "sexting" teens we've been hearing about in the press. A new survey conducted by the AP and MTV shows that the new buzzworthy phenomenon is NOT really all that common. In fact, out of the 1,247 people interviewed (600 of which were ages 14-17 and 647 of them ages 18-24), only 29% admitted to receiving sexual texts and 18% have gotten nudie pix sent to them. As for those doing the sending, only 10% have sent nudie pix of themselves to someone else (sorry Rhianna, looks like you're in the minority there).

In conclusion, looks like we have another case of the media blowing things way out of proportion!
