Note to nude sunbathers: You are not alone.
Even if you can’t see a soul for a hundred miles, millions of eyes might eventually see your fleshy form. Because somewhere up in space, Google is honing in on you. Which means your naked body could wind up on the Internet for millions to snicker at.
Don’t believe me? Check out the Top Ten Naked People captured by Google Earth.
Okay, true, we’re talking satellite images, so there aren’t a lot of details. Which means you probably don’t have to worry about your parents seeing that tattoo you got on your butt while in Vegas. But Mom and Dad might surely recognize you and your boyfriend getting amorous on their rooftop.
Now I’m not one of those people who’s all paranoid about my privacy. In fact, I think businesses that offer identity theft protection operate largely on unfounded fear. But still, it’s weird how Google can practically get in our backyards.
And, yeah, I did check out Pirates Cove on Google Earth. But the image was to blurry to see naked people. So if you really have a need to see nudists, take a long lunch and drive to Avila Beach.
