Is this for real? Take a quick look through Google Street View at the corner of 29th street and Park Avenue South in New York City. You’ll see what seems to be a dead guy sprawled on the road, with several individuals looking on. A woman has her hands pressed to her cheeks, expressing shock.
This snapshot of the busy New York intersection has been accessible through Street View feature for quite some time now. From the first sighting to the publication of this post, more than 11 hours have passed. I’ve sent a complaint to Google; let’s see if they act on this potentially disturbing scene immediately, if at all.
On a side note, I’m now convinced that the faces of people captured by Street View’s cameras are automatically blurred out. The sheer manpower required to blur out faces manually notwithstanding, I’d imagine anyone working for Google seeing a dead guy would keep him from appearing, right?

[...] the supposedly dead (well at least unconscious) guy on display through Google Street View? As a comment to that post, reader Peter Condes shares the following (thanks man!): Steetviewing [...]
Steetviewing ’round the streets of Philadelphia, I found this guy:

Looks pretty.. tired?
Isn’t it a bit difficult to stage much Street View theater if you don’t know where they will be AND exactly when? Ok, they announce they are doing a bunch more college campus’ with the trikes but they don’t announce exact routes and times, unless they are total idiots…
From my BlackBerry Storm…
This may or may not be a real scene, but it makes me think that we will soon see what I will dub “Street View Theater” ; that is, staged scenes wherever the street view mobile passes by.
Count on it.
