Google lies about Google Home playing audio ads

Today some Google Home owners reported hearing something extra when they asked for a summary of the day ahead from the smart speaker: an advertisement for the opening of Beauty and the Beast. Several users on Reddit have noticed the audio ad and Bryson Meunier posted a clip to Twitter. Some Android users also reported hearing the ad through Google Assistant on mobile.And from the Total Bullshit Dpt., also known as Google PR:This wasnit intended to be an ad. Whatis circulating online was a part of our My Day feature, where after providing helpful information about your day, we sometimes call out timely content. Weire continuing to experiment with new ways to surface unique content for users and we could have done better in this case.It was an ad, plain and simple. A corporate statement like this, which is clearly, utterly, 100% a lie, should be illegal, and punishable by massive fines. This kind of callous behaviour is a disgrace.
