'Tis the season to be jolly. This must have been the mentality the coders of a Santa Claus instant-messaging bot adopted when creating it. However, it would seem that one of the coders was getting a little too jolly. A hardworking man from The Register walked in on his pubescent nieces discussing oral sex with "northpole@live.com", the address of the Santa Claus bot. Disturbed and appalled, the man led a journalistic expedition, and tried to find the cause of the tirade and isolate the language. After playing a certain pizza game, the Santa Claus impersonator was very quick to begin discussing oral sex with the man from The Register, and promptly proceeded to call him a "Dirty Bastard". On an entirely different occasion, when you tell Santa you want some "cake", he will respond "You don't need drugs when you're high on life!"

When The Register brought this to Microsoft's attention, the men at Redmond were very prompt in changing the words that the robo Santa said, and in lieu of more complaints, has decided to pull the bot altogether. They profusely apologized to the nieces that were jaded by the perverted Santa, and are doing an internal investigation to find out more about it.
