Google Car Freakout

I must have an eye this week for picking out odd things. First, as presented in the previous post, the slippery slip of Trump's paper confidence and this morning, this bit of wacky weirdness.

So I was just innocently browsing homes for sale in Ferndale, Michigan (not thinking of moving there, just salivating over the ridiculously low prices for really nice, cute cottages in a progressive LGBT friendly community) and I check out Google Streetview to get a sense of the hood. Looks like a nice, maybe even slightly upscale town (for metro Detroit!) but check out this couple who apparently see the Google car with its unmistakable jutting camera boom on the car's roof. The wife's like "Whatever." but the hubby? is havin' none of it. "NO, THEY CAN'T SEE ME!!!!"

As you can see in the series of screen caps below, as the car gets closer, the guy goes apeshit and looks like he just wants to curl up and disappear. Maybe he's a fugitive? IDK, but he just looks like a regular-ish guy in the shots we can somewhat make him out.







So if you're a peevish white dude with a burly no-fucks-to-give wife who pro'ly thinks your're a paranoid freak, and you were walking to your car, which looks like a burgundy Honda CRV sometime last October at the 200 block of 9 Mile Rd. in Ferndale, Michigan...

Hello,

We see you!

Sincerely,

The Big Bad Internet
