Microsoft shuts down Santa for talking dirty
Automated program asked kids what they wanted for Christmas

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.
(MSNBC is a joint Microsoft - NBC Universal venture.)
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.
One of the publication's writers replicated the chat Monday. After declining
the writer's repeated invitations to eat pizza, a frustrated Santa burst out
with, "You want me to eat what?!? It's fun to talk about oral_sex, but I
want to chat about something else."
The exchange ended with the writer and Santa calling each other "dirty
bas_tard."
