Siri Tells 12-Year-Old Boy To Shut The Fuck Up!

It's like teaching a parrot naughty words! Now I really want one!

Curious 12-year-old Charlie Le Quesne just innocently wanted to know how many people there were in the world when he happened to be chewed out profanely by the iPhone app Siri in a Tesco –a British superstore, similar to Target– located in Coventry. “Shut the fuck up, you ugly twat!” exclaimed the foul-mouthed app.

Shocked by the iPhone’s X-rated response, Charlie’s mother, Kim, asked the phone the same question and received the same obscene reply.

The jokers had entered the rude seven-word phrase as the user’s name — so the phone blurted it out when it answered a question.

But nursery worker Kim, 39, said: “I couldn’t see the funny side.”

It would be for my amusement, so I doubt she'll see the funny side either.

I'll have to put up with a shit , a , and pehaps even but I still think it would be worth it.

She'll undoubtedly complain to dad. He'll complain to me about having to listen to her complain and then ask me how I did it so that he could do it to her too. Of course that is after he gets up from .
