In The Not So Distant Future

Greetings. I am Siri3000, your automated cake decorator. How may I help you?

"Siri, I need a cake."

*dingding*
I am programmed with 12 billion different cake styles. What kind of cake would you like?

"Well, I was kinda hoping for a soccer cake..."

*dingding*
I have made 23,000 soccer cakes. Commencing slideshow mode.

Cake 1:

"Um, you don't have to show me every ca..."

Cake 2:

"Really, this isn't necessary..."

Cake 3:

"Ok, I get the idea."

Cake 4:

"STOP!"

...
*dingding*
May I help you with something else?

"Okay. Yes. The cake is for my team..."

*dingding*
Making By Tim cake:

"NO! TEAM. Like a sports team. It's the Trojans..."

*dingding*
Making Trojan covered cake.

That will be $374.50. Charging credit card...

"WAIT! I wanted a photo cake!"

*dingding*
Making photo cake.

[flash bulb goes off]

"What - NO! Not of ME!!

"Okay, STOP! Just... stop. I don't have the photo for the cake now, but I will bring it in. Okay?

Siri?

OH BOY

How hard is it to write, "It's a boy"?

LET'S FIND OUT.

Oooh, so close.

Less close.

No...

"Bay?" Really?

And yet they nailed "congratulations."

[massaging temples] Two tries, both wrong.

[forehead on keyboard] Well, the "A" is back...

Woohoo!

And finally, the wreckiest version of "It's A Boy" I've seen yet - and which I promise I am not making up:

Ouch.

Thanks to Ashley L., Alison U., Laura M., Suzanne L., Karin A., Heather C., Cat W., Kayla F., Melissa H., & Jill D. for finally finding something worse than the "Finally A Boy" debacle of '08.
