Cruising the street view...

For the complete slide show, visit "Dudes from Views" Blog... or don't

            This article was about a blog called "Dude's from Views". The creator decided it would be a fabulous idea to use google street view to scope out good looking guys and post them from the world to see. Each picture comes with a clever caption like “Triceps and biceps on Christopher Street.” Okay, thats taking it a too far. That is creepy. 
          The author opens her article with a question, "A blog uses the Google maps function to scope out cute guys. Is it fun, art -- or a creepy invasion of privacy?" (McKeon 1). What's the answer? -in my opinion, its the latter, a creep invasion of privacy.  First thought is that the creator of the blog is some obsessive boy crazy chick- wrong!  "Salon corresponded with the blog’s creator, Brad, over email, about his method, issues of privacy and the Google gaze." (McKeon 1). Brad. You read that correctly, its a man. I still think the whole idea of this is insanely creepy. The article is structured with a brief introduction and then into a question and answer session with the creator. I think that was a good way to set up the article and put the facts out there right from the mouth of the creator of the blog. People are crazy- the end.
