15 Weird Images From Google Street View

When Google Street View was launched in 2007, it created a buzz. Here was a new kind of map, one that would let you travel anywhere in the world from your computer. You could move through 3D representations of cities and see them literally from the streets. The possibilities were endless.

And by “possibilities,” I mean “The the possibilities of screwing with Google Street View.”

That’s why today Google Street View is littered with middle fingers, moonings, people accidentally caught having sex, people deliberately caught having sex, and many more shenanigans. But Google Street View also features real, bona fide strangeness. Some of it’s intentional, some of it’s unintentional, and all of it’s it’s bizarre.

Let’s take a look at the weirdest Google Street View has on offer…

1. The neighborhood samurais.

2. When you just gotta have a new purse, but the store doesn’t allow kids.

3. Just a typical Tuesday in Russia.
