A Pixiv Take on Apple's Siri

Beyond obvious target for anthropomorphism, Siri's phonetic similarity to Japanese word for "buttocks" called out for parody

With Apple announcing the iPhone 5, it's a good excuse to look back at how Japanese online art community Pixiv responded to the last generation's key feature, the personal assistant software Siri. Given that it had a name, a voice and artificial intelligence, you better believe Siri-tan got anthropomorphised.

 

There was also an obvious joke to make... "Siri" is phonetically similar to a Japanese word for "buttocks."
