One of the minor dangers of owning a smart speaker is that most anyone can activate the device by just saying the wake word, and that includes Cartman: the season opener of South Park this week features a script that triggers both Amazon Echo and Google Home devices, resulting in verbiage regarding human genitalia and gross additions to shopping lists.



In one example in the episode, Cartman conducts a veritable potty-mouthed orchestra, getting a group of Echo and Home devices to repeatedly trigger each other to say things about human genitalia. For the most part, it seems viewers were pretty amused by the stunt, posting clips on Twitter showing their devices adding things like “titty chips” and “hairy balls” to their shopping lists, or setting an unwanted alarm for (gasp) 7 a.m.
