Ever wondered what The Simpsons would look like if Homer and Marge were swingers and Springfield was actually the set of an XXX-rated film? The first thing the blogosphere blasted us with as we grudgingly drug ourselves out of bed this morning was this relatively SFW trailer for a live-action Simpsons skin flick. Yes, it’s [...]

GPS voices don’t sound as “Kiwi” as they should
October 1st, 2010 |

As a native of New Zealand, this story in an email today caught my eye. Apparently some Kiwis don’t think TomTom’s current ‘NZ’ voices sound as authentic as they should.
Neither do I; I have one of TT’s earliest ‘Go’ models and, though it has guided me flawlessly to many destinations in the UK, Europe and Canada, I don’t reckon the Kiwi accent on it is genuine, nor is the Australian version. So I stick to the UK or US voices while resisting regular pleas from the company to pay to download Homer Simpson.
TomTom announced a competition this week to find “the voice of New Zealand” for its vehicle navigation tool and some of the entries so far are classic, if almost incomprehensible to foreign ears in some cases.
A little Friday afternoon entertainment awaits.

Billy Connolly on your sat-nav?

A press release informs me that I can now be given instructions by the voice of Scottish comedian Billy Connolly on the TomTom sat-nav.
Other available voices include John Cleese, Snoop Dogg, KITT, Burt Reynolds, Dennis Hopper, Kim Cattrall, Eddie Izzard, Sven Goran Eriksson – and even Homer Simpson.
If you choose to download Billy Connolly and his Glaswegian accent, there are a few quips thrown in for added authenticity I suppose – here are some examples:.
“After 300 yards you have reached your destination. You may thank me and remember that without me none of this would have been possible and you would have been hopelessly lost.”
“Toll charge. I’m only doing my job. Don’t shoot the messenger.”
The mind boggles a bit. Will fellow Glaswegian comedian Frankie Boyle end up going down this road and what sort of ‘jolly quips’ would he make?
