I was hoping this was a recipe thread. The frozen stuff sucks.

Of _course_ it’s an accident. No politician would be stupid enough to post a picture of his junk. Preposterous!

I had to look twice before seeing the blurred area because it’s on the very edge of the pic. Maybe the guy didn’t notice. I bet he looks closer next time before sending out a pic.

NSFW but no one could possibly notice anything with just a casual glance.

Accidents do happen with pics. Not everyone is a Weiner.
