Today Google has launched its new feature in the UK: Street View, which allows you to type in an address and browse through pictures of street scenes taken in that place.

A representative of Google was talking about this on the breakfast show, when the news person asked him:

There’ll be people who say, “I don’t want my image on the site, particularly not doing what I was doing in that street on that day.”

Too right! Imagine a queue of girls outside the punishment centre on a quiet morning, burning in quiet shame, when a Google camera car snaps a picture of their predicament for all the Internet to see.

And I won’t even mention the public floggings, now forever associated with a postcode of an otherwise innocuous town square.

Google has no sympathy towards punished girls.
