People proving their namesakes...

"Boring couple sue Google over photos"

Wow... what a great news story. Jay Leno's writer's are salivating right now just thinking of all the "boring" jokes they can make. Man am I glad the writer's strike is over so we can get quality like that.

Anywhoozle, apparently a Pennsylvania couple is suing Google and its StreetView application for taking photographs of their house, claiming it is devaluing their property. Because you see, their property is sooo private, and sooo exclusive that no one should even know its there. And what is their main gripe? They believe Google drove up their driveway to get the pictures, as it shows the private road sign, or something. What the Borings (hehehe.... it may never get old.) are failing to realize is that cameras are actually good enough that you can zoom in on the picture. Google does not have the time, nor do they really care, to drive up everyone's driveway to take pictures of you playing croquette with faux intellectual friends.

And actually at looking at the pictures above its very clear just how "exclusive" and "private" this land actually is. I mean just look at that masterful landscaping. Also apparently "private" driveway means only that the house sits back 200 feet from the road. Maybe buy some trees if you want privacy... dumbass.

To you the Borings of the world I say.. shut your mouth and accept progress. Don't hold back interconnected enlightenment because of your own draconian ideas about privacy. Suck it down and close the windows if you're going to cheat on your wife with her sister.
