So, we went to our friends for Christmas dinner today before we leave tomorrow on our trip. They bought their twin daughters ipad minis. So, we were playing with them, and one of the twins was talking to Siri and told her Merry Christmas. Siri said she didn't understand. This is how the rest of the conversation went -
M10 - Merry Christmas!
Siri- would you like me to search for movies with a character named Mary?
DD10 jumps in and says - Happy Holidays!
Siri - Thank you. Happy Holidays to you, too.
Me - Merry Christmas!
Siri - I do not understand. Please repeat.
Me - Happy Hanukkah!
Siri - Today is not Hanukkah. Hanukkah was on December 6, 2014.
Me - Happy New Year!
Siri - Today is not New Year's Day. New Year's Day is January 1, 2014.
Me - What is today?
Siri - Today is December 25, 2014.
Me - What holiday is celebrated on December 25th?
Siri - You could un-scrooge Scrooge. Merry Christmas to you, too. (This cracked me up)
Then, we went to the other ipad. This one was obviously programmed by someone differently but still refused to acknowledge the religious aspects of today.
M - Merry Christmas!
Siri - Merry Christmas to you, too!
Me - Whose birthday do we celebrate on December 25th?
Siri - I'm not allowed to answer that question. My apologies.
Me - Who is Jesus Christ?
At which point Siri brought up an encyclopedia "facts" page that did not include the religious context - but treated him like a person, giving DOB, place of birth, date of death and place of death.
WTF????

Well. Steve Jobs was atheist.
I have noticed that Google doesn't do the religious anything either.

I think they're thinking Suri, who is Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise's daughter. I might be wrong though, because I don't know Angelina Jolie's kids names.

What ever, which ever celeb.
