Steven Crowder is a conservative comedian who has a penchant for exposing liberal hypocrisies. His latest target: Amazons Alexa. The digital personal assistant turns out to be a leftist social justice warrior in a box.
Produced and distributed by Amazon, Alexa seems to spill the same progressive rhetoric we often read on the Washington Post. Jeff Bezos owns both.
In this video, which contains crude language and references, Crowder asks about Muhammad:
Q: Alexa, who is the prophet Muhammad?
ALEXA: The prophet Muhammad is [a] very wise prophet; he taught many people how to live. He had a wife called Aisha. He lived in Saudi Arabia. The message that he gave to the people is: Pray to Allah; he is the only God, and he gave the holy corn.
After some exploration into what Alexa knows about Muhammad and his bride Aisha, who he married when she was between 6-10 years old, Crowder asked Alexa about Jesus Christ:
Q: Okay Alexa, who is the Lord Jesus Christ?
ALEXA: Jesus Christ is a fictional character.
The video features many more interesting questions and answers, but these questions on religion are insulting and untrue. Before you go buy someone an Alexa for Christmas, consider what it wants you to believe on certain subjects. This is a liberal indoctrination device, plain and simple.
Except for the Wall-O-Text I had no problem with it.
But then having been on a MACV Team (non-SOG) might have helped.

Why anyone would want this spy-in-a-box in their home is beyond me.
Why, people? What is the benefit of this?
“So it perhaps DOESN’T widen your world - just reinforces it.”
Intresting concept for a little social remodeling, well it’s probably not enough to move someone between categories but more than sufficient to keep one from migrating to another.
My iPhones (iPhone X now) have become so integral to my life, it would be hard to go back. I use mine constantly.
Even without the “Easter Eggs” (and I’m sure there are plenty), the thing is an extraordinary object to be sure.
Try this one. “Hey Siri,... tell me a story.”
You may have to ask Siri a vew times, but she will respond at some point with a rather lengthy story.
As for Siri, several phones back, the phone came with an English woman’s voice. That voice irritated me for some reason. I went into settings and change the voice to a young Australian woman’s voice. What a great difference. I really like Siri now. The Australian voice is quite pleasing.
True. I got rid of Prime.
Now that’s scary!
Mine does....LG V20. I use this model because I carry an extra battery with me so I don't have to worry about having a place to charge my battery during the day.
I use Aussie Siri. Ive never heard anyone else use her, so I felt unique until now. Im glad we live far apart so we can both be unique! ;)
As I said, it’s good for some technical stuff.
But for history and biographical topics not so much.
True. But with Common Core math being taught now, even that will be warped since 2 + 2 will have to equal 7. Wait till these kids graduate with Up being Down, Evil being Good and Sodomy being a Virtue.
Reason, logic will be gone—and God will be Dead (No Objective Truth).
Heh, heh, heh... so she’s been two-timing each of us.
Somehow I knew it...
I do like the voice. It’s so much more pleasant to me.
There was some show where the guy says to the Australian girl, I love your voice. She cooly answers, All American men do. Guilty as charged.
Many times it’s because the young woman is attractive, and the voice adds some spice to the overall value.
I’m not sure if you know who Yvonne Strahovsky is. She played the blonde spy in the television series Chuck.
She is from Australia. She accomplished scrubbing all of her accent out, and had a very nice sounding voice.
I’d have to say, when it comes to her, I really do prefer her Americanized voice. It has such a nice sound to it.
Yeah, I loved Chuck. My eyes about popped out of my head when I first saw Sarah. That show had no problem attracting nice-looking ladies. Ellie and Caseys daughter were both cute, and I believe Kristin Kreuk had a short stint on the show.
Looks like I need to rewatch this show soon!
Every few years I start at the beginning and watch the series again.
What a great little show.
I got a kick out of it, because I recognized a number of the places where they shot scenes.
...and of course for other obvious reasons as well.
Yes, they did find attractive women to appear in the series.
It was a clever show, and if the network had given the show what it deserved, it would have gone on for a number of more years.
NBC withdrew support from the project. Subway was approached and stepped in to become a big sponsor and kept it on the air an additional year or two.
The budget was so tight, that the crew had to improvise on location and other critical matters.
As I understand it, the last two years the cast held things together as NBC just thumbed it’s nose at them.
Talk about a brain dead network...
Zachary was talking about a follow-up movie for a while, but I guess that ship has sailed now.
I think so too.
Read an article several days ago (dated), where he mentioned all the cast had wanted to do one.
Still, it take a lot of money...
