  Apparently "Santa" can't tell the difference between p***y and pizza. Agents aren't real sharp when it comes to context.

  If you check the Reg story you'll it has nothing to with pizza it was just triggered by reapeating the phrase eat it. Also after MS fixed they put it back up with out fully testing it so it continued to talk about oral sex. After The Reg. contacted them again with information that it still talked dirty they removed it.
