Viagra Spam

Tuesday, 12th June 2007 by Alex

Despite Google’s best efforts, someone has finally managed to spam Google Earth with a Viagra advert!

Well I guess it had to happen sooner or later… ;)

Thanks to Mark.

    That’s actually a NASCAR “hauler,” the truck (or lorry if you prefer) used to transport a NASCAR team’s cars and equipment to the races. The last time Viagra sponsored a car it was with Roush Racing some years ago, so that would mean that this is Roush Racing’s shop. There are several more in the area.

    Unsurprisingly, comments on this post keep getting eaten by the Spam filters ;-)

    Thanks for that Paul, I was wondering why Viagra was written on a truck!

    I wonder if I’m immune from the spam filter?

    Just to the east across the driveway is the hauler for Matt Kenseth’s # 17 Dewalt car. Just to the south of those are 2 haulers for the US Army-sponsored car and 1 for the Valvoline car. Unfortuantely the other logos are a bit too blurry. Many of the NASCAR teams have their shops in the Charlotte, NC area, so there are probably plenty more of these haulers to find in the area. I wish Google would get a shot of a track while a race is going on.

    There’s also a nice plane approaching the nearby airport

    It’d make a better advertisement for Viagra if they raced with a limo, don’t you think?

    Phillip,

    …or a stretch Hummer.

    It obviously doesn’t work — that trailer is flat on the ground!

    I had to laugh, because this is only 10 mi from my house…

    Michael is right, a lot of teams are in this area. If you look a little SE, you can find Charlotte Motor Speedway, hence why the racing trucks are parked there.
