Microsoft Suspends Virtual Santa For 'Oral Sex' Talk
Microsoft's virtual Santa has been taken offline after his conversations with children about pizza took a rather unexpected turn. 
You see, Microsoft had been encouraging children to chat with an automated virtual Santa by adding [email protected] to their Messenger contact lists.
Children would then talk about what presents they wanted for Christmas, or just have a conversation with Santa, with artificial intelligence controlling Santa's responses.
But a few people discovered that when you invited Santa over for some pizza, Santa became less than G rated and said: "You want me to eat what?!? It's fun to talk about oral sex, but I want to chat about something else."
Santa would then get upset and called the person a 'dirty bastard' before ending the conversation.
A Microsoft spokesman says that they tried to make changes to the software to try and clean up Santa's vocabulary, but they weren't comfortable keeping him online and have turned him off.
"It's not like if you say, 'Hello Santa,' he's going to throw inappropriate stuff at you," says Adam Sohn. He said Santa's comments was sparked by someone "pushing this thing to make it do things it wasn't supposed to do."
