Frank Fazio didn’t find Siri funny or helpful. He filed a federal class action lawsuit against Apple saying Siri commercials are “fundamentally and designedly false and misleading.”

Apple wondered why people who didn't like Siri or the iphone didn't take advantage if it's 30-day return policy.
Anyway there is far too much of that suing business is America and too many lawyers anxious to get part of the take.
I'm guessing that there's a clause in the terms and conditions that says something along the lines of "responses given are for entertainment purposes only" so he'll just prove that he hasn't read them.
First off Apple says Siri is beta software. In other words, still in development and not guaranteed to always work. Then Siri depends on satellites and networks not owned by Apple. Transmitted data could have been corrupted. Voice activated software takes time to learn the user's voice. However I've heard of people using an unfamiliar iPhone and Siri responded correctly to their queries. Fazio could have been speaking unclearly or there may have been other sound interference. No way can this suit be taken seriously.
Probably Siri screwed up. But again, no guarantees with beta software. There are other variables outside of an application that can cause the app to fail. The commercial does not guarantee Siri to work. If Fazio had spent any real time testing Siri he would have realized "she" wasn't perfect.
