-[ Chuckles ] Hi.
-
I'm Taylor Mayhew, PR here at Amazon.
-
Recently, we banned the government
-
from using our facial-recognition technology
-
for one year.
-
We heard you loud and clear.
-
You said, "Thank you,"
-
and, "Wait. You guys were doing that?"
-
So to get ahead of things,
-
we're suspending some other Amazon projects.
-
For the next six weeks,
-
we're taking a break from shipping all of our items
-
in packages that collect your DNA.
-
We've received valid criticism like,
-
"Why does Amazon need my DNA?"
-
[ Chuckling ] That's a great question.
-
We can't tell you.
-
But now we that know it's bad, we don't want to do any more.
-
Also, for one week, we're pausing production
-
of bubble wrap that can hear your thoughts.
-
[ Energy pulsing ]
-
We started using mind-reading bubble wrap
-
to hear from you on how we're doing,
-
but now we know you don't want bubble wrap
-
to use its telekinetic powers to learn about the time
-
your third-grade math teacher caught you
-
practicing kissing on your hand.
-
And, finally, when you cancel your Prime membership,
-
we're gonna stop using your keyboard
-
to send tiny electric zaps to your fingers.
-
[ Electricity crackles ] We thought jolting you
-
was a practical way to remind you
-
of how wonderful Amazon Prime is.
-
Instead of going, "Ow!" you would say,
-
"I got free 2-day shipping on 'Lego Batman' on Blu-ray.
-
I've never been happier!"
-
So, to show our appreciation,
-
we're sending all of our loyal customers
-
a Teddy bear with very large eyes
-
that we encourage you to put on a shelf, facing out...
-
to show that we care.
-
Amazon. We're listening. Always.
