Street View Sighting of the Day

[HardOCP News]

We’ve seen some pretty strange stuff on Google Street View but never anything like this. How do you walk around with a horse head mask on all day hoping to get photographed by the Street View team? Yikes! If you want to see the guy yourself, type “14 Hardgate, Aberdeen, Scotland, United Kingdom” into Google maps. Thanks to E. Cabarles for the linkage.

If I ever visit Scotland I will make sure to stay clear of that area lol

It's Aberdeen. Par for the course.

Im guessing he knew the google van was coming through there or something.

What is with people in the UK? Last time Steve brought up Street View Sighting/Image of the Day, it also happened in the UK..

And these are ONLY the people Google managed to take pics of.. image all the kooks running around there they haven't photographed!!

 

[AceGoober]

I think he has the wrong end of the horse over his head...

O wow. I did not know the influence of Japanese 2ch would spread to Aberdeen, Scotland.

(Referring to the man donning that horse head. Go to Nicovideo and you'll see what I mean. Learn some moon while you're at it)

What the hell lol

 

[NKDietrich]

Probably a prank played by the driver himself. Get a friend to dress up as something weird like a horse or The Stig and then tell him when and where to stand.

 

[Talonz]

Wouldn't be surprised if google were in on it either. Viral marketing at its best.

 

[quixotic]

lol... now I know why horses are terrible people.

What a clown

I think it's somewhat of a national sport in the UK to try to get photographed doing something ridiculous by the Street View cars.

The Register constantly has funny SV pics.

 

[Fendrix]

Man, that's actually really creepy.

PONY! http://www.pown.it/?uid=1245

I swear, just when I think I have Japan even remotely figured out...

 

[tubular]

ha, he took it off soon as the google car passed by

 

[rive22]

That is so incredibly weird that you just have to laugh your ass off at it for it's stupidity. hahah

Haha, that was exactly my first thought after seeing the streetview pic. For those who are confused about the anime scene, it was about some weirdo that loves girls with pony tails. So he stalks them at night to redo their hair.

Was I the only one who found that catchy?

 

[WicKeDcHilD]

Lol, I like how if you go futher down the street you can see him take the mask off and walk away.

 

[WicKeDcHilD]

Dude looks like he is in his 70s-80s judging by how grey that hair looks lol

 

[jcollett]

Oh that guy was just "horsing" around! There, I said it! WORST COMMENT EVER!
