Google Street View photo shows naked man in car boot
November 23rd, 2010 - 4:34 pm ICT by IANSLondon, Nov 23 (IANS) A Google Street View picture showing a nude man in the boot of a parked car in Germany has sparked debate on the internet.
The picture shows the car is parked on the driveway of a house in Mannheim in southwest Germany. A dog lies nearby surrounded by the contents of the sports car’s boot.
The image has prompted a rash of internet speculation over what activity the man could be involved in, Daily Telegraph reported Tuesday.
One Internet user told the CNET website he thought it was just “an illusion” with the man wearing tight skin-coloured shorts while fixing his brake light.
However Google has removed the image from Street View, which only went live in Germany at the beginning of the month.
It is not the first time a Google Street View image has provoked debate.
In August a photo emerged of what appeared to be a dead schoolgirl laying on the side of the road in Worcester. However, it turned out to be 10-year-old Azura Beebeejaun who was lying down playing dead with her friends.
