I spent a while looking for the "hot babes" truck in vegas but had given up.

/only in vegas.

The thing is, this will EVENTUALLY happen. Be it now or 10 years, I see virtual street view everywhere.
So I guess the new rule is, don't get caught doing something stupid when you see a big van driving down your street that says "GOOGLE" on it.

Actually it seems to be a VW bug with a strange thing on top of it

/except for San Fran (just finished RTFA)

The only thing on that list that is "strange" is the nice view in San Fran, and that's not strange, it's just rare-ish.



/The first time I went to San Fran I had fantastic weather for 4 days straight.

Quick1 :absolutely. More handicap parking, please!!!
/Really. scroll left.

Show of hands for who clicked on number 7.

I, for one, was not disappointed.

This definitely isn't creepy or anything...

 
Adman12 [TotalFark] 2007-06-01 02:26:07 PM  
In any urban environment, at this point I think you can just assume you're on camera most of the time. Not that anyone would care, unless you're a hot woman sunbathing or bending over.

 
rocinante721 2007-06-01 02:28:52 PM  
Going up & down SF's Lombard St corkscrew is pretty cool

 
GingerTX 2007-06-01 02:37:34 PM  
So how old are these images that we are seeing in Google street view?

Looks like this one has been edited.

I actually stumbled upon this by accident. It's on the strip right in front of the Paris hotel. Here ya go

Never mind the babes! We must flee from Vegas if we are to avoid the purple tornado wall that will destroy time and space!

Duh. He's the Flash and he just showed up from saving someone whilest going back to his guise of Joe-Schmoe construction guy.

Spy on women from multiple angles:

One

Two

Three

Four

Five

(Don't try to open all those links at the same time, or the adobe flash player which is apparently running this will choke and freeze up)

 
chris20202 2007-06-01 03:46:55 PM  
And someone in the middle of committing a crime: angle one, angle two.

Information that would have been useful before I clicked on all the links :P

Wow - you people really need to get out of the house more.

This is what is commonly referred to as "reality" - and a pretty lame version of it, at that.

 
yosluggo 2007-06-01 03:51:23 PM  
trippdogg I am watching you right now!

He better stop that or he'll go blind.

I don't quite get why everyone is getting so upset about this. The photo-car only takes pictures of things VISIBLE FORM THE STREET.

It doesn't go in your house, or open your blinds. It just drives down public streets taking pictures.

All the "Welcome to 1984" type just have to chill. The world changes. You can't stop it. Don't piss yourself worrying.


Is it THAT hard to wear a hat and sunglasses when chatting up hookers or leaving the titty bar?

Who greenlit what is basically a list of links?

What? "The" hot babes truck? I swear there are thousands of those damn things. I can't get three blocks on the strip without seeing one. And they don't take off very good at lights!
Bastards.

Google Street View trifecta in play?

Agreed. Those got-damn things are all over the place. The chick on it isn't even really all that attractive. Pointy knees and all.

 
noyhcat 2007-06-01 06:02:51 PM  
wow is there a way we can see where the google cam is at a current time? lol i could see some funny stuff happenins then

 
TheSuperFunk 2007-06-01 06:44:22 PM  
What looks to be a portal into another dimension appears in the SW direction on the corner of TURNEY St and BONITA St, just north of San Francisco.

 
Sheseala 2007-06-01 07:04:30 PM  
Where did the zombies go?

 
NiteWulf 2007-06-01 07:23:32 PM  
What's so strange about number 8?

 
Enuratique 2007-06-01 07:29:08 PM  
eversman

Is that supposed to be a take on GTA?

 
Kei Seiteki Jin 2007-06-01 08:28:25 PM  
How about the guy coming out of a strip club?

Or maybe he's just standing in front for no reason?

 
deevo 2007-06-01 08:49:07 PM  
There was a great thread on /b/ with like 8 funny pictures in the Castro alone. An old car painted with rainbows and stuff, etc.

 
MoldyLoaf 2007-06-01 09:06:06 PM  
I found this floating man in Central Park, NYC.

I see what you did there. Nice shop of Tommy Vercetti.

HOW DO I WORK THIS?

just a crappy pic of a tree climber, if your in the middle of a city and you like to climb trees, you will find them.

Don't worry, it's probably not your beautiful house or your beautiful wife anyways.

 
KoolerThanJesus 2007-06-02 06:55:01 AM  
Thing...... Thing a thong!!! Thing out loud! Thing out strong!
