Siri now trying way too hard to help people get abortions.
GADGETS

Earlier this week it was reported that Siri, the usually servile and open-minded iPhone 4S assistant, was acting a little cagey when it came to helping users get abortions. When asked to locate an abortion clinic, Siri would either return no results or direct the user to pro-life health centers. Apple responded, claiming it was just a glitch that would soon be fixed. Well we downloaded the newest iPhone update and after running a few tests, it seems like Siri is maybe trying a little too hard to make good.

    Well, the time is exactly the same for every picture. It is physically impossible to have a conversation, let alone 6 mini conversations all in the same minute. That's 10s seconds a slide. And take the 2 second delay of a screen shot. 12:25 with 73% battery
    nice try tho.

    im going to be the belligerent feminist and say this is in pretty crappy taste. women die daily from not having access to safe, legal reproductive rights. theres nothing funny about this.

    I just discovered after doing some field research that Siri is also against pornography. In fact, it offers the same responses to requests to find pornography as it does about abortion clinics. So, I'm wondering if Happy Place could do a follow-up parody perhaps… The issue of pornography is important, especially to the students social satirist like the good people at Happy Place!

    I agree with Ron.

    Ben, just because people have the brains to notice things doesn't mean you need to be an asshole. Shut the fuck up and get back to your "hobby."

    GREAT POST!!! You'd write well for the onion.

    You need to find a hobby if you're looking at the time and battery percentage, and complaining about it. Funny parody!

    They're not supposed to be believable.

    Lame...

    Too bad whoever did this didn't think to change the time or battery percentage from post to post to make it more believable. But still pretty hilarious-I approve!
