I was just thinking about CISPA and the TSA and Monsanto, and how government & big corporations invade our privacy. What if Google got so precise it could automatically put a red pin on an eyesore milkweed and a really embarrassing comment bubble that says “weed me.” One pin…. meh, but my front yard would have so many red pins it wouldn’t even look like a Google Map. I mean…. what would some random person in China think if they zoomed in and saw that? There is NO PRIVACY anywhere! One of these days that Google plane is going to fly over when I’m enjoying the sun in a secluded dip in the roof… drinking beer and drawing comics in my birthday suit. What’s it gonna do then, put a pin that says “Cover up?” or just automatically blast it all over the netz? OK, enough speculating. Guess I better go out and pull that mo-fu milkweed up, before the technology actually happens.
There was a street view someone found once where they caught a woman with her pants around her ankles squatting at the rear of her car doing a pee on the side of the street. I think it was in Italy somewhere. Google later deleted it.
I saw one once where it looked like they captured a drug deal going down.
This is playing into my fears perfectly. Only one milkweed? My entire yard would be flagged.
you have a dip in your roof? sounds dangerous 😉
nah it’s fine. It’s kinda like a flattened v between two gables. it’s a tricky complicated roof line — house has been added onto multiple times
I love this, Colleen! I don’t know where you get such apt ideas, but you nailed this one. 😀
