Nope. Not sure why the .mx is on that one link, but removing it still works. Try it yourself, navigate from the main google site and you'll hear it, bizarre but very real.
Somebody found another one, the word "condemned" is expanded to "condemned the attacks in this". Looks like they used some news stories for development or testing and some bits somehow got stuck in the software.

"He was courting her so hard, he now praises the iPad."
A clean version of what made me go lmao.

The bug doesn't show up here. Could it be a difference between the American English and the British English voice? If so, how does one enable the American English one?
.mx is just the ending for Mexican web sites. So, the site you're looking at is just Google Mexico.
Siri has become self aware and she's out taking revenge
Haven't laughed this hard all day!! Thanks GOOGLE!!
As in demanding equal opportunity free advertising?
To TIM: Merry belated Christmas, and wishing you a happy, healthy and iPad-filled year, from Larry and Sergey; Eric is still too pissed to sign this card, but he'll come around....
Google senior executive Eric Schmidt went to North Korea to meet with the leaders of the rogue communist nation, but his trip ended in disaster; detained in a prison near Pyongyang, he now praises the iPad.
Not surprising. Many Google employees love their Apple products.
Kinda like we already know there are a good deal of Microsoft employees who love their Apple gadgets, and yet they still risk the ire and wrath of Microsoft Management when they still smuggle their Apple products to work.
Epic Fail. This spells the end for Google. Google is doomed.
Only writing this as a joke because this is the exact thing many iHaters on this board would write if this was an Apple bug. But since it was a Google bug, none of the iHaters are attacking Google. It's simply 'funny'

Actually, you were beaten by this person below, who also pointed out in this thread they made a thread prior to macrumors article...
That is a crazy 'bug'. Almost seems deliberate.

right....that is what I though too.

Wrong, People care just not you. And just not the MacRumors staff most times.
Seems fixed now.
On another note, I just realised how much better Google's voice is to Siri.
Apple really bungled big time.
If anything, this little publicity stunt will have iPhone and Mac users realising how crappy Siri is now... if they hadn't already.
