Google’s newly launched Irish Street View facility was never intended to be a rear end view.

But two lads from the Dublin suburb of Ballinteer have succeeded in having their backsides exposed to the Google giant as it took pictures of their street.

They were caught by the Google cam mooning outside a home in Balinteer Drive Dublin.

Late yesterday embarrassed Google officials were trying to end the "exposure" but the damage had been done as the pictures 'flashed' all over the Internet.


“If you take a wander up Ballinteer Drive, Dublin on Google Street View and keep looking to the left of the road you'll get an eyeful,” one user on twitter posted.

“There is great excitement here about bare arses in Ballinteer,” said another.

The new Street View facility of Ireland just went on line yesterday despite privacy concerns.

Tourism official John Concannon described getting involved with Street View as “a total no-brainer” to The Irish Times.

But he hardly expected bare butts to be the main topic of discussion when the site went live.

Google is evil and streetview today means the CIA thugs who financed Google with startup seed money (check out O Ba Ma's War Minister Gates nefarious background) will be able to drone your neighborhood to Pakistani piles of rubble in the not too distant future, when and if the need arises. Apart from the risk of feeding amerika's militocray surveillance monster remember that they are sniffing out all your wifi data and will spam you to death before you ever hear the "predator" or "reaper" coming for you. Screw Google, Facebook and the rest of the Orwellian freak show. Who needs Google when you SCROOGLE?

I don't blame people not liking their privacy invaded. Kind of funny, though.

Google wanted to invade our privacy. They got what they deserved. I wish I would have thought of it when they took pictures in the states. This is cool

....and when you have a majority of the voting base who are not paying for the government programs and goodies which they are benefiting from, then you get a reverse tyranny, a form of economic slavery. The founding Fathers in America said the citizens who had to actually pay(landowners at that time), had the right to vote. If you had skin in the game you got to vote. What is the fairness in what is happening now? For instance, unionized public employees vote for whoever pays them the most benefits at taxpayer expense? Sum ting wong and it is called a 1.6 trillion dollar deficit and bankrupt states. We will either voluntarily restore fiscal sanity or we will be forced into it by communist china.

McSpartacus?....I am Spartacus!!!!...Agreed with the busybody aspect of your post. I was merely commenting on the social upheaval occurring around the USA, where ACORN pants on the ground, SEIU, socialist, marxists, non taxpayer segment of the population is the obama voting base.

Good for them - I'm fed up with weird busybodies like Google; they're just a little too smart for their own good. They seem to want a world on view with no actual awkward humans in it that disturb their nerd rapture. @Monsoonman: FreeRepublic called, they want their tinfoil hat back.

Yes we can! Those two are the o'bama voter base in the states. Registered by ACORN, they were able to vote early and often in the presidential election...Oh they're not US citizens you say? All that's needed is an "intent" to be a citizen these days...Yes antoman, decimation would be a fix, the gene pool needs some super chlorination.

@bogsidebunny..fianna "fail" supporters?All of the partys and their members are gobshites,,decimation should be employed.This would entail grouping members of the dail and seannad into groups of ten,then one should be selected and the other nine should beat him or her to death,,then march them back inside again and see how hard they work.The next potential ape,enda kenny should be on the stage here at the cork opera house,that pontificating,dramatic hoax of a man should have started his career in the riordans not as a politician.Countrys doomed,we should have blankets and sharia law like what they have over there in the UK.

Google and the average "non-Irish" person has a lot to learn about Oirish culture. Google was lucky they didn't steal the camera. Ah Suren, the lads will grow out of it. Garda response: They are "known" to the Gardai. We're appealing to the public to come foreward. It looks like a couple of "crack dealers" to us. They can't be named for legal reasons. Reasons? Their parents are Fianna Fáil supporters.
