Russian Town Puts Giant Smiley On Google Maps
Toramir writes "Citizens of the Russian town Chelyabinsk calculated when the satellite, QuickBird, which takes images for Google Earth and Google Maps, would cross above their city and used people to make a giant smiley face. A rock concert on the main square attracted many people and everyone got a yellow cape. It looks like someone at Google was quicker than usual to put up the new data. Maybe Google likes the idea of an entire town working hard to get its 15 minutes of fame. The article has a screenshot of Google Maps and images taken directly at the event."
I wish you could be modded +6 funny for this.
Christ on a cracker. Every where you go. a tourist. Just head down ulista aTrucka until you come down to old broken down building, make right. Pass statue of great leader Stalin an make left. If you see line for toilet wiper paper, you go to far. Pick up front of Trabaunt and turn around. Look for bear on unicycle but don't stare at the bandages on his feet. Should be right across from old woman who sells the egg people with smaller egg people inside them and yet smaller egg people inside them- I never understood these things. If you still don't see, got to McDonalds where they are giving free tickets and Coke fries to peoples who wear their logo but not steal the salt shakers.
Repant. Thy end is sheer.
I don't know... Google it?
