Putting On a Show For the Google Streetview Camera

Urban Garlic writes "The community surrounding Samsonia Way in Pittsburgh were ready when the Google StreetView car arrived, and staged a 21st-century public art project. Also celebrated in this Washington Post article, and Kelso's Corner, which also has a collection of public art in StreetView."

    I hate to break this to you; but most children have logged hundreds of hours with partially nude women before they hit kindergarden. Somehow, only a few of them grow up to be serial killers.

    What's wrong with kids seeing partially nude women? Most kids have seen partially nude women regularly when they were infants, and nearly everybody has seen a vagina up close once, and I mean really up close.

    Although one can argue that exposing kids to sex scenes can be harmful to them, (partially, even) nudity does not equals automatically to sex, you know...

    It's a back-alley in Pittsburgh. Trust me, the pictures are better with the band/marathon/garage scientists/etc.

    I don't see how it could be a prank when the Streetview guys were in on it.

    I don't see how it could be a prank when the Streetview guys were in on it.

    For this example, I agree with you. As the article & google guys mentioned, it's more of an easter egg. Of course, turning it into an exhibit sort of defeats that, too.
