Ad of the Day: Google Earth

Coincidentally synced up with the supposed release of Monopoly City Streets (a Google Earth/Hasbro baby meant to be a REAL WORLD monopoly experience shared by all citizens on one online game board), the Google Japan ad for Google Earth  (released 9-01-09) is making international ad news.

Meant to demonstrate how Google Earth works, the Wall-E type character takes street-view pics of a neighborhood and carefully works through the night ensuring every picture is safe for public view - protecting peoples' privacy by listening to public feedback and blurring license plates, etc.


In the end, he sends a little wave your way; how could you possibly be upset with such a cute technology?  
After all, he is only exposing your home to billions of people across the planet.
