Amazon Alexa, a virtual personal assistant that operates through Amazon’s Echo device, recently offered a child his choice of porn (video below).
In a video uploaded by YouTube user f0t0b0y on Dec. 29, the boy asks the device, “Play tickle, tickle” or “ticker, ticker.”
Alexa replies via Echo: “You want to hear a station for porn, detected. Porn region, hot chick, amateur girl–.”

At that point, the adults in the room start yelling, “No! No!” as the boy is dumbfounded by their alarm.

However, Alexa keeps on going: “Hot p*****, anal dildo, ring–”
A man shouts, “Alexa stop!” and the device quits listing the X-rated choices.
f0t0b0y wrote this caption on YouTube: “Why!?!? We just got our new echo dot and this happened!?!?”
The video has gone viral with over one million views in two days.
An Amazon spokesperson told Mashable on Dec. 30: “This issue has been fixed, and we are working to build additional restrictions to prevent this from happening in the future. We have also contacted the customer to apologize.”
In another mechanical failure, 17 people were marooned on a ride — 125 feet in the air — for several hours on Dec. 30 at Knotts Berry Farm, a popular amusement park attraction in Orange County, California.
The park goers became stuck in the Sky Cabin ride, a “fully enclosed revolving observational deck,” at around 2pm, reports The Orange County Register.
Park officials said in a statement at 6:15pm: “The park’s maintenance team made several attempts to bring the attraction down, we contacted the Orange County Fire Authority.”
Buena Park Police announced at 7:15 p.m. that the passengers were being lowered down by a rope by fire department personnel.
While no one was injured, it’s not clear why the park waited so long to contact outside help.
Park officials chirped in their statement: “As always, the safety of our guests and employees is our number one priority.”
