So, I checked our streetview and there it is for all the world to see…a clothesline full of my girlie drawers justa flapping in the breeze. So anytime someone wants to google street-view me this is what they see? Thanks for the invasion of privacy Google-tards! At least publish notices of which residential streets you will be performing this ‘service’ for so people can keep their dignity intact if they so choose! Who gave Google the right to choose?
—‘Erring’ my clean laundry in public!
This article appears in Feb 11-17, 2010.
Think this is bad, Wally-Mart has now trying to work in advertising so that they take advantage of street view, in places that are most viewed. That bothers me more than seeing my undies flapping in the breeze.
I have a feeling Lifesucks will be interested in your address 🙂
google sucks dog dicks.
It’s not an invasion of privacy if you put them on display, dipstick.
I guess people have displayed their laundry since the beginning of time but with the expectation that only those people passing by on the street would see, not the whole world as facilitated by the technology age and big brother’s invasive electronic eye.
I can still remember my grand ma in Cape Breton, putting the ‘unmentionables’ she called them on the clothes line & then putting a sheet over them so you couldn’t see them . Then proping the line up with the clothes line pole.
Now not only are they visible on any line drying clothes these days…some people are wandering around in public dressed in a way that displays their underwear .
Times change ~:o
…..and some don’t wear underwear at all!
True enough Smeee
Let us not forget those who wear spandex , when they are as tall as they are wide !
>>>>shudders<<<<
Holy fuck. Life’s that good that THIS is all you have to bitch about. Outstanding. Don’t want people seeing your shitknicks, use a fucking dryer FFS.
this is funny
Invasion of privacy? You’re the one who put them out in public for the universe to see.
I suppose people who fly invade your privacy because they can see so much more from a bird’s eye view.
Perhaps this bitch is more about unauthorized invasion of privacy and less about someone’s gotchees hanging on the line as humourous as the idea of the perpetuity of this Google image may be….hehehehehe!
Besides, laundry hangs outdoors for a few hours a day, once a week. The Google image is there forever 24/7/365 and rather than being available only to neighbours and passers-by the image is there for potentially the whole world to see. I think this, (and perhaps the fact that google is profitting from the use of the unauthorized residential images?), is more to the point of this bitch. Perhaps people should have the option of having their ‘streetview’ blurred. Who gave Google the right to choose this for us?
“for the whole world to see”…? Come on. NOBODY gives a rat’s ass ‘cept you and OceanVictim here. Get real. Lot’s of bitches get posted about people having their picture taken but, really OP, your knickers don’t mind.
Since when does anyone need authorization to take residential images. I’m pretty sure unless they’re actually peeking into your home, anything outside is fair game. Holy fuck, please stop these pointless paranoid rants!
While google is completely within their rights to take the pictures and do with them what they want, I can see the OP’s point. Like oceanlady said, there’s a difference between hanging out your laundry once a week and having it in the public domain until the next time the google car drives by. Kay’s right that nobody in the general public really gives a shit….except that those most likely to “street view” the OP will be family and friends who are checking directions or goofing around on goggle earth. Either way, not much the OP can do but suck it up or complain to google if she cares that much. They already go to the trouble to blur out faces and licence plates, so I suspect the OP will be politely told to go away.
kay, you’re headed for a major downfall.
Stop playing the Victim Card. It’s a shallow tactic. I’m not victimized Kay, just wondering where we, as a society, draw the line in the electronic age. Nothing, it seems, is sacred or private anymore.
If I recall from previous threads about taking people’s picture in public, it’s fine to do that without consent unless you are going to use the photo for commercial purposes. Google maps is a commercial purpose. Is blurring out the faces sufficient to absolve google of the need to obtain consent? I’m sure their lawyers have sorted it out.
‘OceanVictim’! Hahaha Kay that’s a good one!
Good grief, there are better things to worry about and ffs, how is it an “INVASION OF PRIVACY” if the subject of the photograph is visible in public? Answer: it isn’t. If you’re really that anal about it, contact Google and ask they remove it, god.
I want to see what Tyler Munford thinks about all this! Will we one day get a Bitch from a bouncer who’s pissed that Google took a picture of his angry bouncer face, albeit a bit blurred?
GRRRRR I’M FUCKING HUUUGGGEE!
no miles,i like the ones that don’t wear any panties at all. anyone interested?
provide a picture as proof or it didn’t happen.
and if you think that’s embarrassing… have a look at these blokes
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/02/10/st…
failblog.org has a lot of google map street view finds… like a kid pointing a gun at another kid http://failblog.org/2010/01/08/google-map-…
or an old woman sitting with her dildos…
http://failblog.org/2009/07/06/google-maps…
I think these people would have a little more to bitch about than some granny panties on a clothesline.
Don’t suck up to Kay or we’ll be calling you DinoVictim next. It rolls off the tongue better too.
hahaha ripoff zZz…
those are gems.
“I like to keep my dildos on the windowsill so they’re nice and cool…”
what ever happened to the back of your top drawer like a normal person?
i like the frogmen running down the street funny, thanks
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Awesome, please post a link so it can be added to the google earth fail blog.
I do agree that they should reshoot that area, but if Google could see it from the street, so could anybody else going down that street.
I wonder if my cat would feel the same way…he was sitting on the front step licking his ass!!! bawhahahaha!!!
so far I have looked up and down about 500 streets on streetview in HRM…. can you be a little more specific as to where these would be found? (don’t worry- you can just put in the coordinates, I’ll do the rest of the guess work) I just hope you put them on the line BEFORE you washed them…. mmmmmm
