ESPN.com reports Johnny Manziel's attorney has withdrawn from his domestic violence case after inadvertently sending a text message to The Associated Press saying "Heaven help us if one of the conditions is to pee in a bottle," as part of a proposed plea deal. Between the rumor that Manziel spent over $1,000 at a drug paraphernalia store and his own father describing his son as "a druggie", Manziel's football career seems to be over.
Have you seen other inadvertently-sent messages leading to firings or professional embarrassment? Is there a technological solution to this human problem?

Welcome, we love you, we hate you
We love you, we want you, we need you
We wish we were like you
They say you're a saint
You're a whore, you're a sinner
That he had you, made you
He can't live without you
Would you confess if we asked
That you nurture the urge
To declare that it's time
To settle down with a man of your own
You want a baby, a family
A piece of security
Shut your mouth, try not to panic
Just shut your mouth, if you can do it
Shut your mouth, try not to panic
Just shut your mouth, if you can do it
Just shut your mouth
What's your opinion of the dire situation
In our land here, our guest here
Of course, you'll be nice here
How do you feel about God and religion
Are you good people, bad people
Guess it doesn't matter, people
Your place, my place
Make her bring that famous face
You got some, you want some
You wanna let me get you some
We know your music but of course we'd never buy it
It's too fake man, right man, we don't give a fucking damn
Shut your mouth, try not to panic
Just shut your mouth, if you can do it
Shut your mouth, try not to panic
Just shut your mouth, if you can do it
I hear you say it, play it smart girl, win the game love
Give 'em what they want, what they want to see and
You could be a big star, you could go far, make a landmark
What have you been reading, you smart girl? Win the game love
Give 'em what they want, what they want to see and
You could be a big star, you could go far
Make a landmark, make a shit load
And the world spins by, with everybody moaning
Pissing, bitching and everyone is shitting
On their friends, on their love
On their oaths, on their honor
On their graves, on their mouths
And their words say nothing
Shut your mouth, try not to panic
Just shut your mouth, if you can do it
Shut your mouth, try not to panic
Just shut your mouth, if you can do it
Just shut your mouth
I wanted to say something
(Oh shut your mouth)
I wanted to say something
(Just shut your mouth)
I wanted to say something
(Oh shut your mouth)
I wanted to be something
(Just shut your mouth)

I just wish that when people post lyrics, that they either give a link to a torrent or a youtube fiasco, or identify the composer, band, and name of the tune? Is this too much to ask? Try keeping 2400 years of music straight in you your head! Not easy! Enough to make you Brexit!

Jesus Christ, you want your spam and troll posts to be pre-labeled for you, too? How about a helpful warning on every rickroll or goatsee link?

Mahatma Ganeshi! Yes!
How about a helpful warning on every rickroll or goatsee link?
This would be so helpful! Especially for those new to the niceties of the Internets! If you could provide such for all and sundry, a great service would be provided to the universe, and you would acquire much good karma, possibly being reborn in the Western Pure Land of No Internet Connectivity. But I suspect you are not serious, so, expletive you!

I was going to link to Silent Circle [silentcircle.com] or Open Whisper systems [whispersystems.org]:
But then it occured to me that you can still fat-finger your contact list, and securely send your text to the wrong recipient.

When you could send your boss a page to call... LGBT hotline, Aids hotline, CIA, etc.

Husband and wife were in tax trouble. Their lawyer wrote an incriminating letter to them, but "by accident" sent it to the authorities. I suspect one spouse wanted to plead for forgiveness from the government but couldn't convince the other. The mis-sent letter was just a ploy.
