Are you sure that was wrong?
I wonder if the OP is a writer for The League?
Here’s an example from this morning. A friend asked me for some interview advice. Here’s what my Android using Swype conjured up (Swype seems to be far worse than iPhone for outlandish substitutions):
Please substitute where appropriate: party’s, business, strategic, intractable.
The only one I truly like was a Dilbert comic from years ago, a generic worker is yelling at the pointy haired boss

Where the plausibility falls short on a lot of these jokes are the way iPhones do their autocorrect. (Most of these jokes floating around are the product of iPhones). The suggested words from the dictionary come from letter combinations that are physically close on the keyboard to what was actually typed, because it assumes that you may have fat-fingered your text input. It’s not to save you from spelling errors as much as it’s to save you from clumsy typing.
So, for example, typing “whrre” won’t autocorrect to “whore”, even if that word is in the autocorrect dictionary. It will, instead, correct to “where”, because the e is right next to the r on the keyboard, whereas the o is not.
So correcting a mis-typing of “basement” to “ballsack” just isn’t plausible, because the closeness of corresponding letters’ places on the keyboard completely falls apart after the second letter. That is the respective letter pairs (s/l, e/l, m/s, etc…) are not anywhere close to each other. No reasonable fat-fingering of “basement” would make an iphone think you were trying to type “ballsack” instead. The same holds true for many of the purported autocorrect funnies…and that’s why I more often then not decide they’re fake.
I thought they were real and I Let’s go to the quarry and throw shit down there’d.
Yeah, see, that’s what I thought too. I have an iPhone, and autocorrect works like this for me (though I don’t have any R-rated words in my dictionary that got there because I typed them, so I might not be a good example). I didn’t know what “Swype” was–I had to look it up after reading this thread. I have to admit that it does look a lot more likely that these kinds of errors might occur with Swype than with the iPhone-style correction. Maybe given that, it might be funnier if these autocorrect humor sites stopped showing the alleged corrections on iPhones and started showing them on phones that use Swype.
Lamar Mundane, I don’t even know what “The League” is, so I’m guessing not. 
Texts from Last Night is another awful one. More people post about how funny those are, I’ve never laughed once. Dumb as hell, IMHO. Same with these. Entirely too “perfect” to be real. Why would autocorrect switch to a sexual word every time?
The pancake one is hilarious! 
Shit, those were excellent! What’s wrong with you man? I’m gonna leave a shit for you in the bathroom to remember me by. Bring a plunger!
Let’s go to the quarry and throw shit down there
“The League” is a comedy show on FX and the theme of last night’s show was autocorrecting on cellphones.
I used to like autocorrect humor, then I took an anus to the keel.
I had just started dating this girl at the time and she had sent me a couple of messages while my phone was in my pocket. When I saw them, I sent a “just got your msgs” which got auto-corrected to “just got your nags”. Luckily, she was the type of girl to laugh it off.
What really annoys me is many don’t even bother to get the characters right. In iOS the name on top is the person in GREY, yet many refer to the person in green.
Keep in mind, that most electronic dictionaries also learn words, now, and so if they’ve typed the word previously, it’s not abnormal for the auto-correct to assume or give precedence to that word.
Sure, some are fake, but others may just be an example of auto-correct repeating normal user behavior, just in the wrong context.
I have no trouble whatsoever believing that most of them are real. My wife lent me her iPhone for some reason, and she texted me (her phone) that she was coming to pick me up. I texted back, “Woohoo!”
The sent message was, “Elohim!”
I don’t know either.
This one’s my favorite:
“Thanks so much for watching my place for me.”
“Don’t mention it!!! By the way I found your stash of gay porn ;)”
“You did? Um. Not to be rude but why were you in my bedroom closet??”
“Oh God I meant I found your stash of popcorn. The kettle corn from the farm.”
“OK this just got awkward.”
I imagine a lot are fake, but they still make me laugh. Some are so funny. I saw another one that was probably fake, but still made me laugh so hard, I almost woke my husband up. It went like this.
“Can I download that software we talked about earlier.”
“No, you cunt.”
“Wow, harsh.”
“CAN’T. THAT WAS CAN’T!. I HATE THIS PHONE!”
This made me laugh more than anything else I’ve read on the SDMB. Really.
