As soon as I saw the title of this article, I immediately got a mental image of the title of the next news article: "10-year-old on google street view actually dead. Police still investigating."
 
You would think that the google van would've taken another shot after she got up. That would've been the right thing to do. The commotion is googles fault for not doing that, not the kids. The guys in the google van used this photo to see what kind of publicity they could get from it. It's humorous on both the little girl and the google guys part if you ask me...
 
[citation][nom]serra[/nom]Only thing interesting about this is that the Google van drove past a dead girl without bothering to stop. Must be a nice neighborhood.[/citation]

if she was playing with a friend it was probably obvious to the google driver what was going on. or it would at least be clear she wasn't dead.
 
This would make a great gag if done on a massive scale. Imagine a large amount of people playing dead on a street or even better several streets as Google is taking the pics. Or better yet getting about a hundred people make them look like zombies are roaming and attacking people.
 
Man this is hilarious, by the time it get prep and loaded on the server for everybody to see there is a good time in between it and when it did happen. I find it funny when they call Google and not necessarily the cops. I mean the Police would know by now, they call in like it's news and they have to alert the authorities.

As for the drivers I think they have the eyes to know if it's a prank or not and again it's possible that he did not see her, she was after all behind a car, they can't see everything hidden, they have to keep their eyes on the road.

"I understand how some people might have thought the picture looked like a dead body" What she meant is probably that those "some people" need to realize they are dumb.
 
[citation][nom]irh_1974[/nom]WTF is that girl wearing? Is this the early 70's or something?[/citation]
It's England.

What a wonderful generalisation. It's incredibly rare anyone dresses that way. She dresses like one of my primary school teachers... who was Dutch... and this was over 20 years ago.

Next you'll be saying we all have bad teeth and drink tea and say "my word" a lot.
