WATCH: Farting Alexa refuses to play MFR
Moray Fart Radio?!
Last updated 25th Jul 2019
Virtual Assistants like the Amazon Echo and Google Home have enabled us to order shopping, find out when the next bus to work is and listen to our favourite radio stations without lifting a finger. And with smart speakers now a feature in 1 in 5 UK homes they're increasingly becoming part of our everyday lives.
But for one Ross-shire woman things didn't quite go according to plan when she tried to listen to MFR.
Terri Campbell from Alness asked the Amazon Echo to "play MFR", which In theory, should have filled her kitchen with the biggest hits and the biggest throwbacks. Instead, Alexa started to play FART SOUNDS!
"For ____ sake!", exclaims Terri, before sternly telling the device, "No, Alexa, MFR!
LOOOOONG FART SOUND EFFECT "That was a long one", comes the reply.
The mischievous Echo then rounds off the chat by saying "OK, just say cancel if you've had enough farting for the day". The heat must be getting to Alexa!
To listen to MFR on your smart speaker just say "Play MFR" and hopefully you won't be met with a wall of farts. You can also listen on FM, DAB Digital Radio, on our website here or on the MFR app for iOS and Android**.**
