New invention- Twitter Editor

In America we all have freedom of speech, but we all say dumb shit from time to time. Example Charlie Sheen. We all have been in a situation where we say something that we wish we didn't. Majority of people have the common sense to not say the first thing that pops in their head. Most of us have that "on deck circle" in our brain. A place where we can think something, but not say it. It is very easy to find people who don't have this trait. They usually say something shocking that isn't funny. The reaction from people listening is usually a gasp or a low oooooo. Followed by, "Damn. That is messed up."

Twitter gives anyone the opportunity to say whatever happens to pop into their head and share it with the World Wide Web. This can be dangerous at times because...we all say dumb shit.

So if you are wondering how you can tweet, but avoid sounding like a jackass. Solution. Twitter Editor. Imagine a world with twitter editors. Imagine that Rashard Mendenhall running back for the Pittsburgh Steelers came to you with this:

From ESPN.com- PITTSBURGH -- "What kind of person celebrates death? It's amazing how people can HATE a man they have never even heard speak. We've only heard one side..."We'll never know what really happened. I just have a hard time believing a plane could take a skyscraper down demolition style."

With Twitter Editor the nonsense turns into something harmless. Rashard's tweet would look more like this: "Wow. Osama Bin Laden is dead. Crazy stuff man." 

A little boring, but that is the sacrifice that must be made to avoid sounding like a jackass. Let's all invest in Twitter Editor, especially for athletes, actors and celebs.
