Is anyone actually doing this??? My wife calls the voice on our GPS, “The Bossy Bitch”, and turns the voice off. But, perhaps a Johnny Depp voice, she would actually like.

I would think a gps voice using Bejel Roddenbury would be a natural…you know the voice of the computer in many Star Trek, and next Generation shows.

Um, Majel Barrett Roddenberry, 1932-2008 RIP, widow of Gene Roddenberry. Makes me wonder if there are enough clips of her to put together one for the estate… Note she’s also the voice of Queen Robot in Hamlet A.D.D. (animation), now in post-production for 2010 release.

Susan, there’s no way he would do it. They couldn’t convince him to ever say “Turn left.”

If James Earl Jones tells you to turn, you turn!

I don’t have to worry about a bossy GPS, because I don’t have one. I’m smart enough to know how to read a map!!!!!!!!
