ALEXA WILL HELP KEEP YOUR FAMILY FROM FIGHTING THIS CHRISTMAS

Alexa, the Amazon virtual assistant, has a new feature meant to help families quit bickering during the holidays. When your family starts arguing, simply say, “Alexa, change the subject!” Alexa will then ask safe questions such as, “What would your superpower be and why?” or “Is Die Hard a Christmas movie?” The robot is programmed to bring up inoffensive topics ranging from celebrity crushes to baked goods.
* The hell Die Hard is a Christmas movie.
* Uncle Carl brought that up over Thanksgiving and got clubbed with a rolling pin.
* After three questions, Alexa automatically calls the cops.
* What do you do after your sister throws Alexa against the wall?
* A little Ativan in the eggnog couldn’t hurt.
