Ok, I've got to mention this now. This has been reported all over the place over the last few weeks in blogs etc, but now people are finding funny stuff in it, and that interested me more than the original story.
Over the last year or so, Google has commissioned the vehicle shown above to cruise the streets of large cities and take shots from ground level. It's a very good way of seeing a road or route as it actually looks when you travel around it.
But this is the good part. Because the vehicle takes hundreds of photos in daylight, and is currently confined to large US cities, it captures lots of ordinary people, going about their daily life. Such as the following cases:
Woman caught in thong exposeeThe camera obviously caught her in her truck, leaning over, perhaps to grab some groceries, and if you zoom right in, her underwear is on show.
Man caught driving into work late"..the back of our Prius was captured as I was turning into the parking lot at work. From the angle the shadow casts, you can tell that I was probably sneaking into work at around 11AM"
Google Street Man turns hippyWhen the man is placed over a certain hippy part of San Fran, he now sports a bandana, and carries a flower.
