Damn! I left the dildo on the lawn!

don't they ride their bikes backward in Australia?

I don't think that's in Australia (it was just reported by an Aussie blog, is all). In fact, I'm pretty sure that's an outer borough, or some other east coast city that has a "West 90th Street." Google doesn't cover Australia by street view, yet.

@StrawBerryShortCake: No, but I think left is right and up is down.

Am I the only one who thought they were looking at a reenactment of the Paperboy video game?

@procrastinator, esq.: Actually, if you click on the link in the original blog post, the guy fell down somewhere in Lakewood, Ohio.

That's fantastic. He even fell over like a cockroach with legs flailing in the air. Good times!

Ow - that second picture - how did his legs manage to get like that? The third picture is the absolute best depiction yet of "ass over teakettle."

I like a little comic relief sprinkled into my maps. They're too functional otherwise.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPS

@procrastinator, esq.: It looks like it could be - I lived part of my childhood in Lakewood. However, 90th street is part of Cleveland, not Lakewood.

And this concludes this installment of "More Than You Wanted to Know About the Midwest. Ever."

Is there any chance that Google plants these (staged) things on purpose hoping that people (losers) will then spend countless hours clicking through their maps/streetviews/sat images?

*Disclaimer - I am a conspiracy theorist and believe that Goolge is in fact evil.

@Spirit Fingers: more like paperboy meets mortal combat: Internet to Gawker..."Finish Him!"

That's looks exactly like every neighborhood in Rhode Island, too, except I don't see any Portuguese flags....

Nope im afraid you cant palm off your clumsy yank kid. Not australia, we just dont do the whole west / east numbered street thing and our hydrants are underground.

@wingrove: @MyMuffinTop:

UP REALLY IS DOWN!

@procrastinator, esq.: That's because Australia doesn't have streets, right?
Where are them kangaroos?

Cleveland, Ohio is the location of our would be Greg LeMond.
Here's the wide view:
[maps.google.com]

I'm calling it New Jersey.

@wingrove: We knew it wasn't Australia because you'd never just call it 'Google Maps', it would have to be something like 'diggerywompus box'

@Spirit Fingers: Upgrade!

This is definitely Cleveland...just went to it on Google maps.

@BaconCat:
Hilarious.

@McCheeburger: Looks like no one one saw him fall except the mailman. Well, no one until now.

@holdenfunk: I think now is as good a time as any to try out the laser that's attached to the Google maps satellite, oh, because you know there is one.

@BaconCat: I came dangerously close to snorting at your funny comment!

@SpicyTunaRoll: "Goolge," in fact, is evil.
It's Google's evil twin.

Australia looks like that? No fucking way.

@Spirit Fingers: I live in the blue house.

@crackbabyjesus: The last pic has his legs in the air, so the middle pic must be mid-roll. Nice shootin', Google Big Brother car driver!

I wish I'd see one of these cars. Oh, the fun I could have.

@bourgeoisie: @fileunder:
Thanks!

GOOGLE CAR DRIVER
Crikey, that bloke took a spill!

GOOGLE CAR PASSENGER
Stop the car. I think he's hurt.

GOOGLE CAR DRIVER
Dude, this is Perth. No way I'm stoppin' the car.

This has Improv Everywhere written all over it. If they could just find out the location/route of the Google car, they could make some pretty funny "themed" street maps.

I propose "Everyone On Fifth Avenue Is Crying."

@Steverino: Or they could do that back country road from that amazing tracking shot in Children Of Men where Clive Owen's car gets firebombed and chased by a mob and Julianne Moore gets shot in the chest... oh man, that would be hilarious.

That's definitely not Australia - we like front fences with our houses...keeps out all the riff raff, not to mention litter from your front yard.

@crackbabyjesus: Or like this? [i7.photobucket.com]

Hilarious!

you know he was thinking 'phew! man! thank god no one just saw me eat shit!' oh touche, little buddy!

its ok, we're all laughing with you, not at you...u were laughing, right?
