Young Toddler Gets Verbal Abuse Out Of Apple Siri

The mother of a 10-year-old youngster from Coventry has been expressing her shock following having a demonstration unit of Apple’s iPhone 4S swear at her son.

Local Tesco

Kim Le Quesne informed the Coventry Telegraph that her child Charlie was out shopping with his dad in a local branch of Tesco, discovered the device in a showcase and asked the Siri personal helper application what number of people there were on the planet. The product answered by telling the lad that it wasn’t sure exactly what he was saying, and telling him to "Shut the f*** up, you ugly t***."
"It's verbal abuse," Mrs Le Quesne claimed. "We can’t believe the filth it came out with. He showed my husband what the phone had said to him and my husband found the store manager and said "it shouldn’t be saying that."

Sent For Diagnostics

Tesco stated the gadget will be shipped away to Apple for diagnostics, however it appears likely that some merry prankster had modified the login name on the unit to the offending seven words, so the mobile phone would default to the sentence regardless of the question. Apple is unavailable for comment during the holiday period.

Phone Still On Display

Mrs Le Quesne told the paper the woman's child went back to the retailer the next day and saw the exact same phone seemed to be still on the display case. The newspaper doesn't say whether the poor lad felt abused, or instead tried it again and dissolved in to fits of giggles.
