Burger King just hijacked your Google Home speaker

Advertisers figured out how to manipulate your voice-activated assistants. Burger King just showed us in 15 seconds how voice-activated speakers can be used for ill. In a new ad, an actor dressed like a Burger King employee holds up a Whopper and explains that he can't sum up the sandwich in such a short amount of time. We've teamed up with Product Hunt to offer you the chance to win an all expense paid trip to TNW Conference 2017! The actor beckons the camera closer and says, "Okay Google, what is the Whopper burger?" If you have a Google Home or Android device anywhere near a TV or computer while that ad is playing aloud, it will start reading the Wikipedia entry for the Whopper to you.
