Business Insider:
Angry Brits are so ashamed that Google Street View captured a pic of a vomiting British youth, they've demanded the picture be taken down. And the search giant has, of course, complied.

That's the same bloke wot summoned the protein spillage in Dick Cheney's shrubbery maze. It's all making sense now, the blurry bits.
Um... What?
Damn! Now we're gonna have to wait for the feature film.
Oh please unless this story was out no one would know he's puking, it's like he's just sitting with his head down (as if yakking on a cell phone) like other posters remarked tho the other guy with the fake deer antlers NOW that is curious...
Yup I can see my house on Google Earth too but ya know what it's kinda like that cashier at the super store they've seen it all-all the condoms, lube, cucumbers and sanitary napkins, minoxidil, feenamint come across the sliding belt, it just doesn't seem so creepy after a while.
to all you american's asking about the antlers - these guys were obviously on what we (here in uk) call a 'stag do'. that's basically our version of the males of the wedding party going to vegas and getting wasted/trying to get arrested/being 30 something males acting like 12yr olds/etc. the females go out on 'hen do's'. over here the males and the females will tend to go out in outlandish fancy dress. so those antlers he's got on his head are actually a more conservative look for one of our stag and hen parties. so that's your explanation.
I find the guy holding his head much more interesting. Why is he wearing fake deer antlers? This is so Fellini.
When I was in London I felt like vomiting too. Must have been the boiled bacon.
I've seen my house on Google Street view...it'
Very creepy indeed!
He'd just heard about the AIG bonuses.
Lol.
Of course street view is an invasion of privacy. There is no privacy in the UK, they are even worse than here.
So what if some guy is puking? Like Americans don't puke on the street. Believe me, they do.
Solution: legalize weed.
Legalize marijuana and it'll keep people off the booze and the puking in the street. No one ever puked in the street because they smoked a joint.
I puked after smoking two blunts and eating a whole bunch of meat. Also, my friend accidentally ran over a skunk and it sprayed the whole car. So, to sum up, I used to be stupid.
must be a slow news day....
I tell you - I have a real problem with street view. They have the front of my house, you can see my car and everything. I think that is an invasion of privacy. This is my private residents - It is one thing to have an obsure overhead picture another to actually show the layout of my lot and personal things.
Perhaps the mistake was assuming first you had any privacy to begin with. Google simply confirms the obvious. Much of what it displays can be gathered from public records. The disturbing part is, of course, the crispness of the images....
Wait until it's real time.
Is that Joe the Plumber with his hand on the guys shoulder?
It's not JTP because this guy has antlers.
That's got to be the funniest observation I've ever read on HuffPost. I'm laffing so hard I'm about to puke the 4 slices of pizza I just ate.
Google is stupid for removing the photo.
THis is news?
I would like to know what Brits were so angry they demanded Google take the picture down? Could there have been that many? These people don't know humans everywhere vomit when they drink too much? They could have looked at the picture in an entirely different way, to talk about how loyal Brits were and how strong friendship was in Britain. Look at the vomiting guy's friend standing there comforting his pal. This is a good thing.
Blame the photographer, not the society that produces youth inebriation, as usual.
