Google Streetview comes to Europe - the good and the bad



Here in the US, we are used to having Google offer street level images of our country. Their cars have been driving around every town and city for several years, and have snapped millions of pictures.

On March 18th, Google enabled imagery of The Netherlands, the United Kingdom, France, Spain and Italy. Of course, not every city has been fully mapped, but the new images do mean you can do some street-level research of your vacation destination before you leave.

Just like when the US images were released, people are working hard to find the most hilarious things the Google camera was able to snap. But this time, the people at Google are working harder than ever to remove anything that is remotely offensive. Sometimes just minutes after something funny is found, the Google technicians have removed it.

Which is of course why most sites make a screenshot of the image before linking to it! After the jump some of the most hilarious things found through Europe.

A word of warning though - these images may not be suitable for viewing at work, or when you have kids around.

Yes - this is the Netherlands, which means it was only a matter of time till someone located the local red light district.



Fingers crossed this guy is single, or that his significant other never figures out how to use Google maps.



Public urination - ugh

I really don't want to know what this man has planned for the evening.
