    There are sites now dedicated to google maps. I saw sites that showed celebrities houses from google maps, cool things, great buildings etc...I found this weird thing. Somebody wrote, for what i can see, "Eddie Fuck" on a field that can be seen from google maps.

    I dont know if this is a trick or what but i have the original link, not a picture that could be easilly modified:

    http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&hl=en&t=k&ll=53.538774,-1.346804&spn=0.000875,0.002626&t=k

    What do you think, is it a fake? And if is not, why would somebody do that? Couldnt he just called Eddie?

    Thanks and i hope you enjoy it, fuser

    What do you mean "rated"? Like a movie is rated?

    Yeah i have seen those kind of sites. It is actually very usefull. People have spent time looking for famous places and we can have a look simply by getting its coordinate. Very good idea actually.

    That image would have taken a lot of work!

    Thats cool.. I love "Google Earth", and I hope they don't rate things. That would just be another unnecessary click I would have to do to bypass it.
