Sharon!!!!

Italian firm goes nuclear with atomic toys - What Were They Thinking - MSNBC.com

I'm not looking at the (incredibly thoughtless) nuclear bomb toys, or the Jeep. Look at the last item in this article:

Tired of that sweet, polite voice giving you directions from your car satellite navigation system? You’re in luck — well, if you’re in the U.K.

According to The Sun newspaper, a company called Voice Skins is offering impressions of Ozzy Osbourne’s voice for download to navigation systems.

You can download a version with swearwords or one with just bleeps. The newspaper reported that the Osbourne voice tells drivers when they’ve reached their “@#*ing destination.” Delightful.


I WANT ONE! I WANT ONE NOW!!! Question is, does it have voice-recognition? And if so, can you swear back at it?

Osbourne voice: "Your fucking door is open, asshole."
You: "Shut the fuck up." *SLAM*
