  16. *googles and ogles*

  17. Blaat says:

    i think its Groningen actaully, judged by the words next to the arrow the google page is in Dutch anyway.

  18. Rob Hard says:

    This is Groningen, the Netherlands. The address is Vishoek 12 and the picture has been taken down by Goolge maps. :(

  19. Grannycatflap what are your coordinates and we will spy on you?LOL

  20. H3nQ says:

    I live in Groningen. Never been near this house though, but I could be there in 10 minutes if I wanted to (which I don’t. REPEAT, I DON’T) on my trusty old bicycle.

  21. ritchie says:

  22. PuZo says:

    oldshit is old

  23. Matt says:

  27. Keff says:

    That’s privacy fail, Google maps win.
    Duh

  28. Arthur Eld says:

    I really wish someone could tell me where this is.

    • :shock: I would tell you Arthur, but it has momentarily slipped my mind!

      Morning!
      *Squeeze*

      • Arthur Eld says:

        Afternoon! Too bad, now I must die one day without knowing where this is. Sad.

        • There must be a way of gleaning the information from somewhere! But where?

        • Brewski says:

          Morning Arthur!
          It’s in the Netherlands! BMW Win!
          :)

          • Arthur Eld says:

            Groningen is a nice town, btw. And the girls there! Incredible. (No, I’m not talking about the woman on the pic!)

            • True, I met one that could bend over backwards and lick her ankle! Amazing!

            • Brewski says:

              Say, I’ve been meaning to ask… Have you heard of/seen a beer sold in the USA? It’s called “St Pauli Girl”, and shows a sexy blonde barmaid on the label. Is that available in Germany or is it only export? A friend from Germany saw it when in the USA for the first time, and starting laughing. He claimed St. Pauli is known for prostitutes.

              • Arthur Eld says:

                I do know it and I also laughed my ass off! I actually still have a label of that beer somewhere.

                Not only is St. Pauli indeed famous for its hookers (among other things), but the beer is also brewed in Bremen (if the label is telling the truth). Bremen isn’t Hamburg… Secondly, the girl on the label is wearing a Dirndl – which is something some Bavarians do, but certainly NOT northern Germans. Thirdly it tastes like a bad joke about beer…

                And no, we don’t have it here. Don’t think anybody would buy it. Northern Germans would have problems with the Dirndl and Bavarians with St. Pauli.

                • Arthur Eld says:

                  … and that reminds me of a shampoo I bought in the US. It was named “European Formula” and had six European flags on it. Four of them were wrong. :lol:

                  • Brewski says:

                    Noooo! And Americans wonder how we get our bad reputation abroad! :/
                    Yes, St. Pauli is not a good beer… same for a number of so-called “German” beers, like Lowenbrau. They taste nothing like German beer, and are obviously made for export. Thankfully, we can easily find some good German beers as well… Schneider, Erdinger, Paulaner, Weihenstephaner, Franziskaner, Aecht Schlenkerla, Reissdorf, etc. But, they’re heavily focused on Bavarian imports.

                    • Arthur Eld says:

                      I don’t like Weizenbier (dunno the English term). Say, you don’t have Beck’s? It’s a better beer imo than all the others you mentioned.

                      • Brewski says:

                        I like Bavarian ales like Weizens. But I agree that pils and other styles don’t get enough credit. Becks is available here, but isn’t all that good. They either use a different formula for export, or it doesn’t travel well. They use a light green bottle, and that is the kiss of death in my book (Heinekin does this as well, and it is ALWAYS skunked).

                        • Arthur Eld says:

                          In northern Germany Pils is the predominant beer type. It’s relatively hard to find Kölsch, Lager, Dunkel or others. Weizen is pretty common, too, but I think it’s more of a meal than a beverage.

                          But anyway, despite being a German and all, my favorite beers are actually Czech. Budweiser (not to be confused with the identical named crap Americans have to suffer from) and my fav in the moment: Pilsner Urquell. That is a great beer!

                        • I like Belgian myself, Leffe Blonde at the moment! ;)

                        • Brewski says:

                          Oh yeah, I love a good lager. I totally agree, Budweiser is great! In the USA, it is sold as “Czechvar” due to the a**holes at Anheiser-Busch stealing and trademarking the name “Budweiser”, even though Europeans had been using the name for centuries. I also like Pilsner Urquell a lot, but it is hard to find a fresh bottle in the USA… they often are skunked or less than fresh.

                        • Arthur Eld says:

                          Another little anecdote from one of my visits to the US (hope I didn’t tell the story before):

                          A radio ad praising an American beer while bashing the French (kinda unrelated, but French bashing always works in the US, right?). The last line of that ad was “…nothing against the French, but we’ve been doing this since 1939…” Bwahahahaha! Oooooh, 1939! Weihenstephan brews since 1040…

                        • Hilarius, even Guinness has been brewed for longer that that! :lol:

                        • Brewski says:

                          Yes, French-bashing is common in the USA. I find it annoying. In my experience, many who complain about “snooty French waiters” and such are the classic “ugly American” tourists. “Garcon!! What is taking so long! And I wanted the dressing on the side! Is this low-fat?”
                          Do Germans slam the French too? I recall some of my German coworkers not speaking too kindly of the French. Partly because they felt discriminated against when in France.

                        • It’s funny when you consider where the statue of liberty came from! Plus all the help the French gave during the War of independence.

                        • Jennyisbusy says:

                          I just love a good logger :)
                          Morning Fellows!
                          *waves*

                        • Arthur Eld says:

                          I think we have huge regional differences when it comes to bashing. The west bashes people from the Netherlands, the east the Polish. All bash Americans, all fear Russians. But in general Germans consider publically bashing a neighbor as not PC. Our history…

                        • Incidentally, does anyone know the reason why the German soccer team wore green jerseys for their away strip?

                        • Arthur Eld says:

                          No, I don’t. Now they’re red – Klinsmanns idea.

                        • Arthur Eld says:

                          *Publicly! Grrr. Bukkit!

                        • From what I heard it was because after WW2, Eamon De Valera was the only world leader to sign the German Book of Condolences.

                        • Arthur Eld says:

                          Had to look that up. I still don’t know, but I highly doubt that’s the case. Nothing Hitler-related would have been the reason to choose that colour.

                        • The Book of Condolences wasn’t Hitler related, it was just to say that we were sorry about all the young Germans who lost their lives fighting in the war.

                        • Penguin says:

                          I read it was condolences after Hitler’s death? If not, that may be. But I think it was most likely more of a coincidence. Not too many nations have green jerseys, so if we can’t wear white that’s a colour the other team doesn’t wear.

                        • Arthur Eld says:

                          … and if a penguin says so, it’s gotta be true!

                        • Could be just a coincidence, EDV was the only one to sign the book though, so it could be just a rumour that sprang up around htat! :D

                        • Dah-ee says:

                          When I visited Prague, it wasn’t ‘Budweiser’ but rather ‘Budvar.’ I suppose that’s where the ‘Czechvar’ name had to come into play.

                          In Austria, I was all about the Edelweiss. Oh man…

          • SpongeBetty says:

            Here’s an off topic for you, Brewski.
            Clicky! He’s new to our local radio but when he spoke on air, I realised I’d been reading your stuff for ages with the exact same voice.
            :D

    • Keff says:

      Plenty of people did. It’s Vishoek, Groeningen, the Netherlands.
      Reading fail =P

  29. Totaly a fake-o !

  30. BCT says:

    I dunno, guys. Has anyone else pointed out that streetview pics are taken from a moving vehicle rather than from above in someone’s apartment? You know, hence the name “streetview”.

    Still funny though so it’s a win.

    • Caghs says:

      Was wondering how long before someone pointed that out :)

      Yep, every Googlemap I’ve seen at streetview has been roughly equal with the car window …

      … mind you, if this was an overpass …?

      • fluffy says:

        Actually, if you go to Google maps in that area, some of the windows are lower than street level. Of course, this specific photo isn’t there anymore, but you can see how it was possible for this photo to be taken.

        • Caghs says:

          But it’s different to that with which I’m familiar, and therefore wrong (that’s sarcasm BTW, before anyone jumps on me … although it might be fun to have strangers jump on me, I’m oh so lonely ;)

    • Malicite says:

      Good point…

  31. Tech Law says:

    Milk, milk, lemonade…
    around the corner fudge is made
    stick your finger in the hole
    out will come a tootsie roll

  32. Spam Master says:

    The real fail is the internet browser the dude used when he took the screenshot.

  33. hhc says:

    google earth WIN
    chick fail

  34. Stephen Ogley says:

    Why does failblog allow this to be viewed publically? It is an infringement of the person’s rights.

  35. CheezWoofer says:

    The face is blurred out.

  36. Emperor, Leader of the Resistance, Tetragramaton Cleric. says:

    Just goes to show you, don’t leave your personal stuff hanging around. Google will find it.

  37. Don says:

    wtf, Google Maps doesn’t even zoom in that far lol.

  38. stef says:

    THAT’S FAKE TO THINK ABOUT IT

  39. Aja says:

    Did anyone mention the giant di1d0 in the inset yet?

    • Hototogisu says:

      I had to stand in that window for eight and a half weeks waiting for the Google van to come past for the free advertising.

  40. nicksoapdish says:

    Image no longer on Google Maps? Photo taken at an angle that no car driving up the street taking pictures would ever be able to get?

    What a surprise, Failblog tricked by another “hilarious” photoshop.

    • McFate says:

      For what it’s worth, the Google Car takes pictures from higher than standard car-window height. The camera is mounted on a mast on the roof, at least for the Google Cars I’ve seen driving around.

      Here’s one example:

  41. L says:

    Why is this a fail? This is Holland!

  42. rachel says:

    Notice the giant red light on the side of the window? Chick sitting there, waiting around? I think that’s a pretty obvious hint to it’s location.

  43. cevin_cadaver says:

    How do you protect yourself from a man with two dildos?

  44. lolwut says:

    teh lulz!
    she has a bunch of dildoes on her window. i guess she doesnt have many neighbors

  45. anon says:

    Isn’t this a still from Deja Vu? Y’know, that Denzel movie?

  46. Josh says:

    After some trying I located the address: 12 Vishoek, Groningen, The Netherlands

    Looks like google blocked off that street with a wall.

  47. tibs says:

    I lived in the Netherlands for a few years, there is nothing on that windowsill that you wouldn’t see in the window of a sex shop, in fact you see a lot, em, more interesting things. Certainly an education.

    So maybe now Americans won’t just head for the tourist shop in Amsterdam and giggle over the drugs stuff, they might actually look around them – if only to see things like that.

  48. Tommy says:

    This is the problem with rampant liberalism and immigration. Any child could have gone on the google and found this. Have some decency, and pass some laws to protect normal people from this filth!

    • Immigration?!? Whatever, I disagree completely with your stance that children should remain ignorant of how things work, it is my opinion that if they are old enough to ask, they’re old enough to know. And why not? What in the nine hells’ the matter with intercourse?

      • Tommy says:

        It is people like you, and your absurd position toward these matters that will cause our society to disintegrate!!

        You think it is okay that kids look at photos of dildos, and prostitutes??? What else do you think it is okay for kids to do???? I am curious to hear this!!!

        Liberalism and immigration are to blame for this, and only by reversing their failed policies will society be saved from people who want children to look at black prostitutes and dildos!!!!!!

        • ISO3200 says:

          bwa haha. You sir, are ridiculous.

        • rachel says:

          Die a lot. kthnx

        • jenski says:

          I’m not taking a stand on either side of the issue, but I am curious…how does immigration come into this at all?

          • Tommy says:

            Liberal ‘thinkers’ have tricked the peoples of the world into thinking that multiculturalism and the free movement of people is of benefit to all parties involved. When in reality, this free movement of people is eroding important cultural pillars in all societies. Poor non-white people in third world countries flock to white developed countries, and refuse to assimilate into those societies, and are encouraged by liberal governments and policy makers as a means to provide cheap manual labor — when in reality white developed countries should be working to fix the issues within those third world countries so they can rise up and be equal trading partners.

        • Dah-ee says:

          Heh heh..you said ‘position.’

        • d says:

          SHUT UP

        • Peter says:

          God damn liberals.

    • slupine says:

      and why, pray tell, are you letting your child surf the internet, let alone without a parent present?

      Funny, when I was a kid, parents actually had to, you know, parent… they didn’t make everyone else do it for them.

      • slupine says:

        Also, after reading the rest of the comments… obvious troll is obvious.

        Either that or you’re from Chillicothe. Are you from Chillicothe?

  49. hrdcrolaf says:

    You people are retarded. It’s a hooker, advertising herself in front of a window. It’s a very normal thing here in Holland. We have special streets for this. No fail at all here.

  50. Raphael says:

    This is a google maps WIN, nice boobs

  51. Greg says:

    This is actually browser fail. IE6. Nuff said.

  52. ethana2 says:

    EWWWW!!! Internet explorer!

  53. angie says:

    OMFG just how many dildos does one women need FFS

  54. plop says:

    MARIMANN

  55. m says:

    can failbog stop posting fake shit like that? its losing credibility

  56. chris says:

    its not fake dumbass

  57. Twisted_Logic says:

    I’d call this a win! ;-D

  58. yeah,im,ard says:

    whats so funny i dont get it?

  59. Condoulo says:

    Well well well
    the real fail is the fact they’re using IE

  60. Booby Maximus says:

    Great rack! Love the boobtaculars, whoever you are. I’d certainly toss you a nice big quart of man-mustard!

  61. El Vis says:

    It got removed, street view won’t let you see that spot anymore.

  62. Alex says:

    which is the fail? the street view, or the fact that the screenshot was taken in windows 98 lol

    • PhoenixM says:

      Win 98 remains, IMHO, about the best thing Microsoft ever wrote. There is incredibly little PC software written between 1985 and 2005 that can’t be made to run on it.

  63. Basara says:

    xCainex:

    I hate to break it to you, but there supposedly being a checksum method to determine real/fake SSNs is BS.

    My brother and I got our SSNs at the same time (at around 15 & 10 years of age, respectively), as we were born before the “before 12 months age” rule, and our mother had to get them for the Food Stamp program.

    the first 8 digits of our SSNs are identical – mine ends in a 3, his in a 1. There’s no way for any checksum method for both our SSNs to be valid with such a miniscule difference in 1 digit.

    I actually learned a bit about SSNs in (strangely enough) classes about computing, and the only thing you can tell be looking at a SSN, without punching it into a computer system to check it against a list of issued numbers, is what state it was issued in.

  64. pl3h_teh_awesomeness says:

    for the whole world to see

  65. JK says:

    Very old, it’s an adult store. I think she was a shop clerk.

  66. Mr.detective says:

    It was censored by google, the address is 12 Vishoek, Groningen, Nederland. The search engine is in dutch. You can only make it to 4 Vishoek before the street mysteriously ends.

    • Captain Weiner says:

      Damn! That’s impressive! I couldn’t find this exact street view though. You sir, are a great detective. If I ever need a private dick, I shall use you, for sure.

  67. The Dude says:

    If this is not a win I don’t know what is. Failblog FAIL!

  68. asdasd says:

    It;s in holland vishoek 12 groningen

  69. daniel shea says:

    does anyone else see all the dildo’s in the window?

  70. !! says:

    !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  71. Doog says:

    Fake bunch of dicks.

  72. Alex says:

    Why display them like that? Is she proud of her collection?

  73. graspee says:

    It’s funny if you read the whole thread and see people making the same jokes and comments over and over again because they didn’t read up.

  74. fbn says:

    photoshop for sure.

  75. MJ says:

    Wow..who the hell puts dildos in their window! O_O Ok, she does, but WHYYY

  76. Mande says:

    You can see the street view now but the window has been covered with red.

  77. bub says:

    21 vishoek gronigen netherlands

    you cant get to this part of the street on street view though

  78. Twentyfists says:

    This looks to be a Google Maps Win to me… Maybe that’s because I’m a weirdo.

  79. Paul says:

    i thought it was 12 Vishoek, Groningen, Netherlands, took me 15 min to find without reading posts lol … but still … THEY TOOK THE PHOTO OUT OF GOOGLE MAPS!!! … atleast i founded it :P

  80. stick2012 says:

    EPIK

  81. Kyle says:

    Fake, that picture isn’t from google maps. You aren’t able to do that, the most you can do is follow along streets, not look in some woman’s window.

    • duh says:

      Of course it’s from google maps, and yes you can look through windows. You can angle the camera in any direction from the places where the pictures are taken. Google has apparently updated the image since, but you can still easily find the same window on the same street from the same direction through Google maps. The other people in this thread already did the work to prove that, don’t be such a dumbass.

  82. accuddles says:

    587-149683
    that was a fake serial

  83. Leslie Witt says:

    It may be fake, but if you actually look at that street on google maps, the street view IS very close to people’s windows and the image quality is surprisingly high-quality.

  84. Roland says:

    12 Vishoek, Groningen, GR, Nederland

    already removed

  85. Stupid says:

    Wow you think that’s a google street view fail? Dude, check out

    Oudezijds Voorburgwal, Amsterdam, North Holland, Nederland and go into street view.

    I can name at least 5 images on that street Google fogot to remove.

    LoL

  86. Yggdrasil says:

    this was pure win!

  87. Thomas says:

    This is obviously somewhere in the Netherlands…probably amsterdam it also says ” Wordt geladen ” so it was a Dutch person who knew which street he was going to view ;)

  88. Tdavis2200 says:

    Did anyone notice the dildos?

  89. Darvinho says:

    Actually rather than fuzz it out, Google maps have actually prevented you from moving the street view camera into that position.

    Type this in to check it out.

    Vishoek 12, 9712 Groningen, Groningen, Groningen, Netherlands

    If you angle the street view so that the white building is on your left and the cross roads is just up ahead, with the scooter coming from the right hand side, you can see the building above and behind the white one. But we are unable to ’stand’ as it were, at the cross roads :P

  90. sCribbLeZ says:

    this girl live in netherland – i found the picture and my homey post it xD

  91. Sir Oreo 5 says:

  93. Mr. Man says:

    Voyeurism WIN

  94. k13k3r says:

    this is in groningen The Netherlands

  95. Ren says:

    I think the bigger fail in this pic is the fact they’re using IE.
