I know that statue! It's some weird wooden statue made to look like some crazy skinny rasta man with nappy burlap dreads. The only way I know this is that the same statue was at my buddy's house in Rochester, NY and we used to use him as a coat rack. Rasta-Rack-Man.

[–]reno1051 20 points21 points ago

you should contact your friend and get a picture of it.

[–]tamnoswal 59 points60 points ago

You can kind of see it in this photo. Too bad someone is using him as a hat rack in this one, or you could see the crazy eyes. Picture FB

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

Hahaha well I mean, Pittsford beats all, but for some reason driving all the way out there for my parents is "too much of a hassle". I think that as a rule, if I can bike there from Highland then they have no reason to complain -_-

    My mother has a very similar statue to the one in the OP, although smaller in scale (about three and a half feet tall). My uncle bought it while he was in the service, but I forgot what country he purchased it in. I'll see if I can get pics next time I go home, but it will be awhile.

    [–]UltraCruelHeadFuel 1 point2 points ago

    yeah I've seen these statues as well, they come in different sizes. looks like the one in the pic is the biggest sized one.

    I think it's GSV policy to fully obscure any nakedness, and even though I havn't the faintest idea what that thing is, you have to admit it could be naked.

    [–]monkeedude1212 26 points27 points ago

    Maybe Google has some imaging software that goes through pictures after they're uploaded; it thought this was a naked individual and blurred it out.

    I don't know, software false positive makes the most sense to me.

    [–]Platypuskeeper 9 points10 points ago

    Yeah, they do that. It's a known fact, although apparently not that well-known. Just point GSV at any random town street in France and wander about a bit and you'll see mostly blurred faces, and also how the blurring has lots of misses and inconsistencies, so it's clear that it's automated software doing it.

    As for why/how it happened here (assuming of course the original image isn't photoshopped), I can only speculate that they try to save processing time by only running an image through the filter once it's gotten a certain number of views, or until it's been linked to, or some such.

    [–]richard_photograph 0 points1 point ago

    [–]kindall 13 points14 points ago

    It blurs out the face of the Colonel on the KFC signs too.

    [–]Genocidicbunny 3 points4 points ago

    This is exactly what they do. The amount of data that has to be processed would be far too much for humans. Instead google uses software that recognizes faces and automatically blurs them. It also does this to license plates, so if you ever see a random white sign blurred out, its because the software thought it was a license plate.

    [–]Nougat 5 points6 points ago

    Every GSV image should be completely blurred, so that we're not able to see all the naked wildlife and microbes.

    [–]adanvdo 1 point2 points ago

    It's all matter anyways...

    [–]Vark675 1 point2 points ago

    Or just because so many people kept going on about how creepy it is, they blurred it out so it can't creep people out anymore.

    looks to me like it might have a penis

    [–]jimboe88 0 points1 point ago

    It looks like the Tales From The Crypt guy with a big head.

    [–]parkadactyl 138 points139 points ago

    I'm pretty sure there are filters in place to catch any recently mass-viewed address which is somehow reviewed for censorship, this might be such a case.

    [–]alexanderwales 60 points61 points ago

    That actually makes a ton of sense.

    [–]Gornagik 6 points7 points ago

    But it's not a person. Why would it need to be blurred? Do they blur cows or mannequins? Why do they need to blur this thing? What are they hiding?!

    [–]IamWiddershins 14 points15 points ago

    Nothing. I've talked to the guys who work with the system, much of the censorship is automated. An automated censoring system would understandably err on the side of caution in this instance.

    [–]adanvdo 6 points7 points ago

    how would the system know exactly what people were looking at?

    [–][deleted] 19 points20 points ago

    Because it matches what a human looks like, and they probably don't want any ridiculous lawsuits of people claiming they never agreed to be photographed.

    EDIT: Not sure why people are downvoting this. Have fun believing in conspiracy theories / things that are not an issue in the first place. Who cares what they blur out, it's their right to blur out whatever they want to. They even own the images, ffs. lmfao

    [–]adanvdo -4 points-3 points ago

    It just seems suspicious to me. The image is rather difficult to decipher, I had to look really hard just to make out that there was a face. Also, it looks nothing like a human being, IMO. The only non-extra terrestrial possibility I can think of is it being a piece of artwork.

    P.S. Don't be a party pooper man.

    [–][deleted] 4 points5 points ago

    I don't think something that is automatic can really tell the difference between a human and something that is just humanoid.

    [–]adanvdo -3 points-2 points ago

    upvoting purely based on content. I would need to see this technology in person. I would argue that this was manually censored.

    [–]tryndasphere 1 point2 points ago

    Point a camera at something and click on the "capture faces" button and bam, you can see this technology in action. Hell, even Facebook does it in front of your very own eyes.

    [–]IamWiddershins 1 point2 points ago

    It doesn't. The timing could be a coincidence, or this could have been checked by a person when it was flagged for being viewed by several dozen people in a short amount of time.

    [–]dmsuperman 6 points7 points ago

    how would the system know exactly what people were looking at?

    The developers made it that way? Is this a serious question?

    In case it is: every system that you use that makes use of the internet in any fashion (netflix, video games, email, browsing, web calendars, social media, etc) is almost definitely tracking your every use. And if you don't pay for it -- you're also the product.

    [–]adanvdo -1 points0 points ago

    Unless there were some type of wireless technology that was able to see through my eyes, I seriously doubt the system would be able to tell if I was looking at a bicycle or a potted plant. This is where my point resides.

    [–]dmsuperman 1 point2 points ago

    The system is what serves up the images for you to look at. It doesn't need to know exactly where your eyes are focused to know that you're looking at that same shot of that same building with that same patio on it that everybody else has been looking at. It's trivial to build a report on the most viewed images or GPS positions with any sort of half-decent tracking.

    [–]adanvdo 1 point2 points ago

    We could test this very easily. Find something on google maps that is not yet blurred, get everyone on reddit to look at it and let's see if it gets blurred.

    [–]dmsuperman 1 point2 points ago

    Well I never claimed google automatically blurs things everybody looks at. I'm just saying it's incredibly trivial to do that. Just like it's incredibly trivial to determine who has looked at what on google maps if you have access to the tracking data.

    [–]sideous 2 points3 points ago

    You guys are suffering from lack of communication. My guess is that the automated censoring program just cautiously censors anything that looks humanoid.

      Looks like easy place for a thief to steal bike from. I'm guessing its a scary statue to scare off potential thieves. Imagine seeing this thing in a dark while your climbing and sneaking to steal a bike.

      [–]EONS 5 points6 points ago

      Definitely seems like a "creepy" statue/art piece that somebody made and now uses as a joke/troll/anti-theft.

      To me it doesn't look that scary. It is still scary in the game, though. And that picture reminds me of the game, so that's why it's scary to me, even though it looks fucking ridiculous.

      The guy actually had moved there, there was an article about it somewhere but my google-fu is failing me today, after hearing from his buddies about all the commotion on the internet about his place, he asked google to please censor it because it is worth quite a bit of money and he doesn't want the whole world just knowing that it's out there up for "easy" grabs

      [–]ExistentialEnso 2 points3 points ago

      I own a bodyboard (sometimes also known as a "boogie board") despite never living less than a few hours' drive from the beach.

      [–]seblasto 1 point2 points ago

      That's exactly what I thought. I had a crypt keeper halloween mask when I was a kid, and it looked exactly like that. As for the rest of it, probably some statue or like you said, a prop to freak people out.

      [–]MGDIBTYGD 6 points7 points ago

      It looks like a full-size statue of The Crypt Keeper.

      You can buy these scary bastards for a fair chunk of change at costume stores, but Hot Topic and Spencer's Gifts used to carry them in the states around Halloween.

      I get the feeling it was blurred for copyright reasons.

      [–]TheDataWhore 2 points3 points ago

      Doesn't the head look a little too big to be the crypt keeper ?

      [–]MGDIBTYGD 1 point2 points ago

      It does, but I distinctly remember seeing this misshapen knockoff version in front of one of those fly-by-night Halloween stores. I'm pretty sure this is just that, a darker, slightly misshapen faux Crypt Keeper.

      It's entirely possible that the location was reported to the team. While it is fairly common for the employees to have fun blurring things (signs, billboards, anything with a face on them), I'm not sure the would return to published imagery without some kind of report.

      [–]PoeDancer 1 point2 points ago

      I don't know which is creepier: the uncensored or censored version.

      [–]maxysaxy 1 point2 points ago

      I'm fairly certain that google just uses an algorithm to blur faces, nudity, etc, since it would be such a huge task to have a human go through all the photos... the thing probably just got flagged at some point then they updated it.

      [–]TheAmbiguityBuster 1 point2 points ago

      Do you think someone just sits there all day looking at every single picture taken by Google (billions) looking for people to blur out? They have a program that recognizes body and faces and automatically blurs them out. It thought that was a person so it blurred it out. Put away your tin foil hat. Shit.

      [–]chasemanwew 1 point2 points ago

      This has been around for forever. It's some kind of surfboard rack/statue. The reason it's blurred out is that the owner complained to Google and had the statue blurred out. Hopefully you can sleep now.

      [–]sheridork 2 points3 points ago

      Could be an artist's residence, and they didn't want their work to be broadcast and made fun of. They had the right to have it blurred if they didn't want it to be seen.

        Google saw the post on 4chan or Reddit and blurred it out, because there was too much attention on some random person's house. That's what Google does, it's their map.

        Oh hey masada, I didn't expect you to be on the front page of reddit.

        Looks like a female predator.

        So the crypt keeper is real...

        [–]IanTheRed420 0 points1 point ago

        Tales from the Crypt probably sued for copywrite violations on the Crypt Keeper. So they blurred it.

        [–]SilverAg11 0 points1 point ago

        Im pretty sure its a sculpture or something...

        [–]figbar 0 points1 point ago

        Maybe someone threatened to shut the Google down for exposing their privacy

        [–]DoinItDirty 0 points1 point ago

        They figured this out. It was a sort of expensive statue or stand that the man didn't want to be seen publicly, so he requested that they blur it out.

        [–]asnof 0 points1 point ago

        It has been blurred a while now. I remember reading about this same issure at least a month ago, if not longer than that

        [–]AncientStiffy 0 points1 point ago

        That's just a full-size wooden African statue knock off. A place in my local mall sells things that look exactly like that. As in the exact same production model. They have them that are made to hold tiki torches and stuff. So, putting it outside makes sense to me.

        [–]Original_Woody 0 points1 point ago

        The thing looks like artwork, although I guess it could be the alive, the simplest explanation is an artwork, a statue or something.

        [–]z3m 0 points1 point ago

        Creepy, but it's probably just some freaky Halloween decoration or mannequin/scarecrow whatever that someone had on their balcony and for some reason it was blurred out for nudity.

        [–]Timeswitch 0 points1 point ago

        What if someone who is working on this at google was on /x/ and thought it would be hilarious to blur it out and troll everybody?

        [–]jameshuson 0 points1 point ago

        If they wanted to 'hide something' they wouldn't have the image on their fucking Maps app, never mind blur it. Use your brains kids.

        Maybe it's not blurred out. Maybe it's a live picture feed...

        So no creepy thing from the underworld, no conspiracy? Just a statue blurred out by an automated system? Meh.

        Reality will always be horribly scary, aye?

        [–]Creole_Bastard 0 points1 point ago

        The creepy thing is a tiki statue. I know people who have statues just like it. The owner was tired of people seeking him out because of this screenshot so he called up Google and had them fix it. Their solution was to blur it out. This isn't anything paranormal or a conspiracy. Just a guy with a giant tiki statue trying to avoid being stalked by people who've seen the image of his house online.

        [–]blinkdmb 0 points1 point ago

        Maybe they were tired of people going in person?

        I would like to see that.

        It's obviously some crazed guy's sex doll

        looks like a carved statue to me.

        [–]glassonion87 0 points1 point ago

        it's cool that it's all blurred out now and all but seriously, what the fuck is that thing?

        [–]SuperBeast4721 0 points1 point ago

        Something something government conspiracy.

        [–]SulMatul 0 points1 point ago

        To me it looks like she is a prostitute. But if you are on your ipod zoom in as much as possible and you can see what looks like eyes looking at the camera.

        Get back in your pokeball Slowpoke, what are you doing here?

        [–]Crimson_Eclipse -1 points0 points ago

        This is so incredibly creepy but I'm pretty sure it's not real.
