Google StreetView Sees Man Passed Out Drunk On Mother's Lawn

[froggyboy604]

Not content to just capture houses burning and other embarrassing shenanigans in the US, Google StreetView has gone overseas and done the same to a drunk Australian man passed out in his own lawn. Now that man is pissed—not in his pants, but at Google—for the invasion of privacy.

The story goes that "Bill" just came back from a drink, in the middle of the day no less, in order to get over the fact that his best friend was killed in a boating accident. After being dropped off by a taxi at his mother's house, he passed out on the lawn (and kinda on the curb), ripe for Google's StreetView car. The image has since been blotted out from Google Maps, but This Is London got a screenshot before. Sorry "Bill", or should I say, Luke from Kotaku! [Daily Mail]

It be kind of bad if his foot got ran over by a drunk or a bad driver since his foot is hanging from the curb.

The Taxi driver should of help him to his mother's house instead of just leaving him on the side of the road.

This is just so funny. It says "Technology isn't always our friend"

[froggyboy604]

I agree . Technology isn't always our friends espiecally technology made by some companies.

Is this the google system where people were complaining about privacy issues?
Well, now I can see why.

[froggyboy604]

Yes, both google earth and street view were having a few complaints about privacy issues since people won't want the whole world to know they have a massive pool in ther back yard, and some people don't want to be caught shirtless whie walking their dog.
