Google Earth - LOL Edition

Ciphon · 9 Jan 2009 at 11:50

We were just having a conversation in my office about funny things that we have seen or heard about on Google Earth.

I was just wondering if anyone had found / heard of anything funny.

Some of the ones mentioned here were;

A bunch of school kids put weed killer down a drew a rather large male "appendage" on their school field.

A man went out boozing one night, and passed out right infront of his house...

The US Navy managed to construct a facility on their base in Coronado, California in the shape of a Swastika.

To be fair to the guy, he had just returned from the funeral of his best friend. Can't blame him for drowning his sorrows at the wake.

Google has since removed his image.

Although the Street View cars have been spotted in many places in the UK Google has yet to reveal when pictures will be added to maps of the country.

lol how the hell did the architect get away with that one, can't believe no-one noticed it on the blueprint?

Isnt it the symbol peace or something in India?

Perhaps the architect was Indian and wanted to spread some peace lol.

IIRC, The Swastika was a Norse symbol for peace, which is deeply ironic considering the overwhelming irony of what it's associated with these days.
