Scottish woman can’t get her ‘racist’ Amazon Echo to understand her

A hilarious video shows a Scottish woman failing to communicate with her “racist” Amazon Echo device after it got confused by her accent — but when she puts on a terrible English accent, the device immediately gets the message! 

Marj Massie was left tearing her hair out in frustration after her repeated requests to play ‘Something’s Cooking in My Kitchen’ by British singer Dana Scallon baffled Alexa, Amazon’s voice-activated virtual assistant. Alexa keeps mishearing ‘Dana’ as ‘Donna’ and repeatedly fails to find the song on Spotify.

The video showed the angry woman swearing in frustration as she pleaded with Alexa. “It’s no f****** Donna. F****** cow,” Massie shouts. In Massie’s defence, she did try to ask nicely, but Alexa was having none of it. The woman can he heard slowly saying: “Alexa, please, please, please play ‘Something’s Cooking in My Kitchen’ by Dana.”

Alexa again says she can’t find the song by ‘Donna’, to which Massie replies: “F****** look it up, ya cow. Alexa, stop being an arse”.

A man in the background can be heard talking to Massie, telling her to give up and ask for a joke instead. She replies: “I don’t want to hear a bloody well joke, I want her to play that song. That song popped into my head when I was cooking. I want to hear that bloody well song”.

But when she puts on a fake English accent, Alexa immediately gets the message. Massie was not impressed by that, either. She said: “F*** off! You just hate Scottish people, ya cow.”

Luckily for us, she then uploaded the hilarious video to Facebook with the caption: “Alexa is racist and HATES SCOTTISH people. Proof.”

The hilarious video has since gone viral with one commentator, saying “That is absolutely hysterical. I’m crying here”. Another added, “Tell Alexa to go do one . . . silly fud [sic] of a machine,” while a third wrote, “Gold! This has to go viral”.
