The Send This Instead Picture App Replies to Sexual Texts With Ironic Images

— August 11, 2014 — Tech
If you're someone that constantly receives sexually-based text messages from unwanted suitors, the Send This Instead image app by the Ontario Provincial Police is a great way to use humor as a defense mechanism. The Send This Instead app sends sarcastic messages in reply to unwanted sexts.

The Send This Instead app cleverly offers smartphone users the opportunity to reply to awkward sexually-based messages by using one of the 57 custom-created iconic and humorous replies. For example, if someone is asking you to send them a naked picture of yourself you can reply with a stick figure drawing accompanied with the caption, "Sorry, no camera. So I drew this instead." The best part about this app is it comes with a featured link to let you report cases of sexual harassment if need be.
