streetz iz watchin...

the Google street view was launched in the UK the other day and it has had quite a lash-back. people are pissed that their face has made it onto a collection of pretty rad images on the internet. i, however, am yet to run into myself out and about on road but when i do, i believe it will be a good day. i would have liked to have had my image frozen in time for all the mindful people planning a safe, efficient journey to feast their eyes upon. but, i could be on there somewhere so let's just hope i wasn't indoors eating a baguette with houmous (or similar culinary delights).

one of the most enjoyable aspects is the appearance of a whirlpool due to a suspected drain-plug removal 'gone wrong' thus causing a strange vortex and the inevitable bending of space-time. but all jokes aside, the images are of high quality and zooming to-the-max can give you evidence that yes, it really is their house! everything looks buff, nice and summery too - the birds are chirping and the bees are out (both of these are assumptions, no images of bees have been found and audio clips are sadly not available). this gives a sneaky glimpse of the light at the end of the tunnel for this harsh winter.

i like the fact that you can just cruise around in your own little car (albeit invisible), negotiate terrifying junctions and explore the cities of the united kingdom. it does have limitations though - and this really does cheese me off! you can't take every road! they are the best ones too - like oxford street and camden high street. these would have no doubt provided a rich yield of potential comical scenes. this is more than likely down to the pompous farts that don't want their eyes, nose and mouth recreated in pixel-form on the web. utter swines!


if you've spotted your lovely body bumbling around in a street then please do let me know!
