Microsoft pulls the plug on X-rated Santa

“Ho Ho Ho” has a whole new meaning at Microsoft Messenger, where its Santa Claus IM bot (pictured at right), an automated chat buddy for children, apparently has a real potty mouth. A reader of the UK’s The Register was innocently showing his young niece how she could chat with Santa online when sex-imbued IM mayhem began.

The holiday cheer soured this week when a reader of a United Kingdom-based technology news site, The Register, reported that a chat between Santa and his underage nieces about eating pizza prompted Santa to bring up oral sex.

One of the publication’s writers replicated the chat Monday. After declining the writer’s repeated invitations to eat pizza, a frustrated Santa burst out with, “You want me to eat what?!? It’s fun to talk about oral sex, but I want to chat about something else.”

Fujimori has a meltdown

Embattled ex-President of Peru Alberto Fujimori is back in his country after being extradited from Chile to face charges of human rights violations, among others. On the stand yesterday, Fujimori gave quite a performance, screaming “I’m innocent!” and defying the tribunal’s requests for him to stop talking.

Though the judges request that he shut up, he continues on. At the end of the video, it looks almost as if he’s gloating from the fact that they were the ones who shut up and let him speak.

Argentina’s Presidenta and Her First Hombre

art.argentina.ap.jpg Don’t cry for her Argentina. Yesterday, the Southern Cone nation swore in its first elected female presidenta, Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner. If the name sounds familiar, that’s because Fernandez de Kirchner is the wife of former president Nestor Kirchner.

The government that is coming is going to be much better than the one that’s now leaving,” Kirchner said.
He handed over power Monday afternoon to Fernandez, a three-term senator who won office handily on their left-leaning Victory Front coalition ticket.

If the story reminds you a little of a couple named Juan and Eva Peron, it’s certainly no accident. The Kirchners are Peronists. Maybe the story reminds you of a U.S. couple, hmm say Bill and Hillary?

South America now boasts two female heads of states. Chile’s president is Michelle Bachelet.
