Girl Flashes Chest at Street View Car

Posted by Rob, Friday, 16th May 2008

It was inevitable. As people became aware of the Google Street View Camera Car, people were going to use it to get their five minutes of fame - now we have the girl who will forever be known as the first person to flash her chest at the Google Street View car.

Thankfully for her, the main event was not captured, proving that even the most shameless behaviour still requires good timing!

In the past, we have had more opportunity-grabbing clowns, such as those who have been caught relieving themselves, people who attempt to perform complex bicycle stunts, and the man who made himself famous for giving the Google crew the finger. Perhaps an extension of their new face blurring technology is needed to curb these miscreants?

    It’s funny… seems like no one wants to comment on this one… No wise cracks or anything.

    .. ok, i admitt…
    i hoped the photo was taken 3 second after the real shot.. shit.. XD

    Ok I have a comment - a question: Can anyone enlighten me to the real objectives, declared on non declared, of Google, in putting their resourses into creating Street View?

  5. Lee says:

    Ben… they have an awfull lot of money and spare time. Answer your question?

  6. Tim Young says:

    Ben… simple really. The more features they have (such as streetview), the more people who will visit their website to use it. As a result, more of those people will use them as a search engine. The more popular they are, the more people there are who will see and click the GoogleAds which are ultimately their main revenue stream.

    Sorry, where you expecting something more sinister?

  7. Patrick says:

    I just wanted to chime in here as to the why of streetviews. It can also be used , for instance you are thinking of moving to a new area and want to see what the place looks like.

    All this about being able to see how places look like from ground level I think is just an excuse for the geeks at google to spy on girls. I mean, how often does it happen to you that you’re walking on the street or driving in your car and a girl is flashing her chest at you?

      More than that… Google Guys are paid very well and they wanted to show off (as Geeks) to girls how the houses look… and also check out how their bosses’ properties look. It’s using this project as an excuse to capture properties information.

    wtf is with those links?

  10. Alex says:

    What links chris?

  11. Tammo says:

    The link to the face blurring post comes up as: ‘The page you’ve linked to has either been moved or deleted!’

  12. nova72 says:

    Yeh, I’m having the same error message on links to older posts.

    Here is a thought…. Say the girl was underage. And say the camera actually caught the act at it’s climax. Could Google or the drivers of the Google Car be prosecuted for transmitting child pornography?

    This doesn’t happen to you? ;)

    @chris, nova: Thanks, we’ve fixed the links.

    Street View is immensely helpful to a truck driver like myself. Not only can you see where you’re going to on Google Earth you can see what landmarks are around your destination before you get there. This is the power of private industry. Instead of debating why to do something or what the purpose of it will be, Google just goes out and does it and the uses and purposes will follow.

    Did anyone else notice that it appears the Google camera car/van may have just dropped off these girls, perhaps as hitchhikers? Assuming the vehicle was travelling NW up May St., prior to arriving at the intersection of Delta Rd., you’ll notice that the girls are nowhere to be seen, and the center line of the vehicle is to the right momentarily (perhaps letting them out of the car at the curb?). Then it continues NW where one of them flashes. Curious.

    • Asterix says:

      @Steve - Might it also be possible the car was travelling NW up May St and then turned right on Delta?

      Once that street is imaged, the camera is turned off (or the imagery discarded later) and loops back to the May/Delta intersection to resume taking pictures heading NW.

      They then stitch the images together so that the web surfer can choose whether to take the right or continue on May.

    I thought nothing cool happened in my town. I guess I was wrong :)

    Ya know… it’s gonna happen, I’d moon ‘em. In all seriousness, it’s a neat tool. When I look up directions I can see the place I am going to, makes it easier to recongize. MSN’s “birds eye” can show someone’s car in a driveway. Give it a rest. The pictures are of a public street, from a public street. Sorry if people are somewhere they should not be.

    The picture has been removed from street view.
