Couple caught 'having public sex' on Google Street View


Couple caught 'having public sex' on Google Street View

A young couple have made an unusual and brazen appearance on Google's Street View, appearing to be caught having sex on the bonnet of a car beside a busy road.

The relaxed nature of the pair - she waving to the camera, he draining the last gulp from what appears to be a bottle of beer - has led many to believe the image is just a prank by an opportunistic couple who spotted an approaching Google Street View camera car. Or, they could just be cheerful exhibitionists.
In any case, Google has taken the precaution of entirely blurring the couple in images on that stretch of the Dukes Highway in South Australia. You can see the original image above by sliding your cursor over the image.
It is not uncommon for people caught in unusual poses by Street View cameras to enjoy their 15 minutes of fame. Previous highlights have included a superhero napping on a bench in Japan, a mysterious figure wearing a horse mask in Aberdeen and a man with two heads and three legs in Yorkshire.
In 2010 a young girl caused a local panic in Worcester when images of her lying on the pavement led to concerns that there had been a death in the street. It was later confirmed that she had just been playing with friends.
