Every year, Doritos holds a contest where anyone can create his own Doritos commercial, and, if voted the best, this commercial is aired during the Super Bowl. This year's finalists decided to include Siri in their commercial. Some light fun video. Perfect to start the day!

It's a pointless video, but you can only admit it's pretty funny!
We all thought Siri was our friend, but it turns out that Apple's digital assistant has a mean streak, especially if you happen to be 12 years-old and frequent one particular supermarket in the UK.
When shopping at a Tesco store in Coventry, UK, one unsuspecting kid decided to have a play with Apple's latest and greatest. Unfortunately, he got more than he bargained for.
According to the report by the ethically-questionable The Sun, little Charlie Le Quense found himself on the wrong end of a four-letter tirade, which understandably took everyone aback...
We've conducted extensive tests here at iDB, and we have come to the cat-egorical (see what we did there?) conclusion that there is nothing more awesome on this planet than cats. Ceiling cat, keyboard cat, the list goes on.
Now we can add Fruit Ninja cat to the growing list of fantastic felines, after a video surfaced of one such feline showing that fruit just who the boss really is.
Just watch this video, we dare, nay double-dare you to not raise a smile. Perhaps even giggle a tad...

Since Apple unveiled the iPhone 4S back in October sporting the new Siri feature, the digital assistant has been the talk of the internet. We've seen Siri do everything from starting a car to changing channels on a TV set.
So what will the voice-controlled assistant take on next? Yamaha has the answer to that: play the piano. Folks at the world renowned electronics and instruments company have taught Siri to play the piano. Well, sort of...
You have got to love Apple's sense of humor. The folks in Cupertino have left a nice easter egg in the latest iOS 5.1 beta. 9to5Mac's Mark Gurman went looking inside the 5.1 beta 2's .plist files and came across something that made us chuckle.
Apple knows how the blogosphere works, and the rumor mill typically predicts future product names based off internal references in iOS beta SDKs. It looks like we all just hit the jackpot.
Following our recent post about why you have to turn your iPhone off during take-off, famous actor Alec Baldwin didn't apparently get the memo that you're supposed to have your electronic devices off while the plane is idling at its gate.
Baldwin furiously tweeted about getting kicked off an American Airlines plane for using his iPhone to play Words with Friends in the cabin. He ended up choosing the game over the flight.
We may have just found the perfect Christmas gift for your fellow iPad user. The iDrive is a steering wheel mount for your iPad, and it looks incredible.
When you're driving, it's hard to use your iPad to its full potential. You're limited by awkward, unnecessary things, like having to focus on the road or eat your breakfast. That's where the iDrive comes in, and you'll never know how you lived without it.
If you're a small band looking to get some attention, what better idea than releasing a music video featuring some of the most popular games for iPhone?
Australian band Hey Geronimo understands that shooting a video featuring some of our favorite games, namely Plants vs. Zombies, Angry Birds, Cut the Rope, Flight Control, and Fruit Ninja, is always a sure hit with iOS geeks like us, especially when you bring those games to life...
In a recent episode of The Colbert Report, comedian Stephen Colbert cleverly addressed the recent scandal involving Siri not recognizing abortion clinics. Several publications were reporting that Siri was unable to locate local abortion clinics, therefore suggesting that Apple was imposing some hidden, pro-life agenda.
Apple issued a statement to The New York Times saying that the whole issue was a glitch that's going to be resolved quickly, however, that hasn't stopped Colbert from hilariously spinning the story into a comedy bit you won't want to miss.
We love Robin Williams here at iDB. He's just one of those comedians who clicks with us, and with a quick wit like his it's hard not to laugh, especially when he's working completely off the cuff.
We also like Siri, so when you have one of your favorite comedians using Apple's digital assistant in a gag, it's always going to be something to spark our interest.
