captain wacky? is that you?

I would IMAGINE they have automated face-blurring software and that's why the faces are blurred in paintings and photos. I doubt there's someone manually going through every image deciding what to blur.
 
I wonder how they do that? It doesn't seem blurred out in all cases either. I've been over a large amount of Brighton on it, and seen several people they've failed to blur.
 
It must look for dots that could be eyes, and if those dots have a mouth and nose under, then it blurs the area.

It even burred the red nose car magnet we have on our garage.

It gets even more rediculous. This is the side of the Prince Albert pub in Brighton, on the corner of Trafalger St & Frederick St (at least Menty & Seph will know where I am!)

The wall is used as a tribute by Graffiti artists for icons who have passed away. Among the so far is John Peel, George Best & Michael Jackson. It also has the original Banksy 'kissing policemen' on it.

Well - they've blurred John Peel's graffiti-art face out (yet strangely they haven't one click on)

Here it is from one of my own pics.

That is within pissing distance of where I grew up.

Coooool! Thats my old house! It's 23 Robert St not 22 (one with the bow windows) but I'll give Google that.

Nice to see the door repainted purple as it originally was when we owned it. Last time I was in England and walked past the place someone had painted it boring blue. :phpneutral:
 
My house has finally shown up on Street View too, but unfortunately I was holding a giant "I HATE THE FOLLOWING TKERS..." banner as it passed, so I can't post the pic. :(
 
This is my old Gaff in Brighton. Three floors of Edwardian construction overlooking Queen's Park in Kemptown. We used to sit on the balcony getting stoned, listening to the other stoners & pissheads having arguments in the park.

Brighton - fuck it, let's call it by its nickname in Private Eye: Skidrow-on-Sea is chock-full of seagulls. They're building a new football stadium for the beloved home team, who go by the nickname 'Seagulls' and have one on their club badge - the stadium is going to have glass frontings all around. It will be covered in seagull shit within a month!

The fucking things used to wake me up in the mornings. Never needed an alarm. Even better, the bastard in this pic has a GIANT CHIP in its beak!


Hey Menty, next time you're in the UK (tenth of never!), you, Seph and I need to go for some beers around Brighton.
 
Once you get past the giant seagull, you might notice they are recreating the abbey road cover in the background.
 
This is going to become our official Google Street View thread, and as a result, I will not let it die!
 
I was going to post a picture of Pulse and Cocktails, the biggest sex shop in hull, but apparently the road alongside it is the only on in hull not covered by the google street view.

What are the odds?
 
I googled the house that I grew up in, but Google's car hasn't driven down that street yet either. And the satellite view doesn't quite carry the same impact.
