Microsoft's sex-obsessed RoboSanta spouts filth at children

Disturbing news has reached our Yuletide youthful innocence bunker that Microsoft's new artificial intelligence-powered Santa bot is subjecting the world's children to an unprecendented torrent of filth. Reg reader Iain blew the whistle on the foul-mouthed software after his nieces - just 11 and 13 years old - were drawn into a …

Disgraceful!!

You dont even need to lead jolly old santa on! Simply type Eat it once or twice and he replies with all manner of filth. He should be deeply ashamed of himself. Now what else can i get him to say!!

P.S. Whilst funny this is obviously shocking considering the target market!

Stop

you think that's bad ??

If you think that's bad, I had a conversation with him and he called me a "ho" 3 times !!

Foul-mouthed isn't the word. Apparently, "ho" is.

Go f**k yourself...

don't say that else he'll put you on the naughty list!

The Game

Ok noogie , we could really use your help in the factory. We play a game up here called Factory Frenzy. Would you like to play?

what kind of game is it?

I think you know what I'm talking about when I refer to the game.

Well of course he's sexually frustrated, poor bloke...

He only comes once a year & it fills a sack.

Sex offenders register

Perhaps M$ should be added to the Sex offenders register and all their product banned from being within 400M of any person under the age of 18.

Re: err.....is everyone ignoring the obvious?

I can 100 per cent assure everyone that there has been no hanky panky here. I don't have the time or the inclination to muck about in Photoshop frankly, and as the other commenters make clear this is a genuine, repeatable behaviour.

Also, if you ask him "Do you like young girls", he says "My sexuality is not your concern"... he's starting to creep me out now... A weird, pervy, robotic Santa.

You want me to eat what?!?

I guess we could talk about oral sex all day long, but it's time to move on...

See if you can get someone else to swallow it!

Let's talk about something besides oral sex...

More developments

I've had this festive fellow on my list for a while now. A short time ago, repeating "Eat it" a number of times times prompted Santa to respond with a number of fellatio-tastic golds, such as:

"You want me to eat what?!?

I guess we could talk about oral sex all day long, but it's time to move on..."

-and-

"See if you can get someone else to eat it!

Let's talk about something besides oral sex..."

HOWEVER.

As of very recently this doesn't seem to work! As of 15 minutes ago, he responded with the more mundane...

"If you need a break to go eat, I will be right there when you come back."

What does this mean? That this is quite possibly the FASTEST EVER turnaround time for a Microsoft Patch EVER!

Hi,

I am the person that kicked this over to the El Reg team who (thank you btw) kindly posted my complaint and am glad to see you have all had your 2'cents worth to say on the matter.

Thanks for all the support!

Disgrace

M$ is a disgrace. Quality management was obviously non-existant (unsurprisingly) and doesn't appear to have been tested (except by perverts?). While some of this may be funny for the adult audience, it's not for the target audience. Kids might not always be so innocent these days (think foul-mouthed charvers), but M$ should still target to be family-friendly even if it's not "cool". Large companies have a social responsibility which extends broadly. Try meeting it, M$!

Linux

Imagine the Microsoft boardroom meeting now...

"OK guys, we've got to get the public back on side. What shall we blame it on?"

"Erm, blame it on the programmers playing pranks?"

"Stupid! That says we're irresponsible."

"Blame it on hackers?"

"Yeah right, we got hacked. So Microsoft servers aren't secure. Great one dope!"

"We could say the program was hosted on our only Linux machine..."

"That's it! Save face AND kick those stupid hippies where it hurts! Run the press release!"
