    My mistake. It wasn't clear to me that the woman was blind.

    How disappointing, it's the standard Alexa voice on the ad.

    Now, I may be stupid, but if you're looking out the window you can see what the weather is right now.
    Mods can we move this to general so this gets the attention it deserves?

    She's blind. She has a guide dog. It's done in partnership with the RNIB. Their logo appears in the ad. Maybe you should give them a call.
