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."

And do you still celebrate Bush and McCain and Palin as your heroes, even after they destroyed your country economy, and robbed your taxes money to bail out their billionaire friends?
You americans are the most pathetic losers alive! Thanks God for Putin and our Nuclear bombers landing in Venezuela!
Russians don't smile. The Russian government had to freaking *order* their border guards to smile at tourists. Seriously, if there was a real smiley face someplace in Russia appearing in Google Earth, whoever created it would be in a psychiatric ward the next day.
