This Week On 'The Lashes': The Trouble With Texting

Maxim, Sam and Erin ponder the WTF and ROFL of SMS.

Hawaiians got a rude awakening last weekend, when the Islanders were suddenly alerted by emergency text message at an inbound missile was about to wipe them out. 

However, after 40 minutes of pure panic, the all clear was sounded and it was revealed the whole episode was all down to someone "pushing the wrong button."

Who knew a text message could cause such a ruckus? Maxim, Sam and Erin, that's who. The Lashes crew are this week talking all things texting, from dick pics to emojis, drunk-dialing to autocorrect fails (no one ever means to write "ducking"), Maxim, Sam and Erin ponder the WTF and ROFL of SMS.
