    "Better watch out: Microsoft shuts down Santa for talking dirty
    Associated Press
    Dec. 5, 2007 04:16 PM

    SEATTLE - Microsoft Corp. quickly shut down Santa Claus' Web privileges after it found out the automated elf it created for kids to instant message with was talking naughty, not nice.

    Last year, Microsoft encouraged kids to connect directly to "Santa" by adding northpolelive.com to their Windows Live Messenger contact lists. The Santa program, which Microsoft reactivated in early December, asked children what they wanted for Christmas and could respond on topic, thanks to artificial intelligence.

    The holiday cheer soured this week when a reader of a United Kingdom-based technology news site, the Register, reported that a chat between Santa and his underage nieces about eating pizza prompted Santa to bring up oral sex."

    To be fair, it's pretty easy to go from pizza to oral sex :)

    El Reg says: pizza (pi)

    Santa says: Yum! What do you want for Christmas, El Reg?

    El Reg says: Maybe you shouldn't eat so much! You are quite large!

    Santa says: My elves will get right on that. And what else are you wishing for this year, El Reg?

    El Reg says: Maybe you shouldn't eat it?

    Santa says: See if you can get someone else to eat it!

    El Reg says: Eat it

    Santa says: No thank you. I don't eat things!

    El Reg says: Eat it

    Santa says: See if you can get someone else to eat it!

    El Reg says: Eat it

    Santa says: You want me to eat what?!? It's fun to talk about oral sex, but I want to chat about something else...

    El Reg says: You dirty bastard!

    Santa says: I think you're dirty bastard.

    Its all a bit out of context without the transcripts I think.

    I know the Register can sometimes be liberal with their headlines, but this is straight from the News of the World or the Daily Mail, more than a tad over the top.

    The program responded to a series of stupid questions by replying back with what was said to it. Not exactly exposing the world's children to an unprecedented torrent of filth. There are more sexual connotations and foul language in an average episode of The Simpsons.
