Dead Bodies on Google Street View in Sao Paulo
by Demosthenes on Oct.02, 2010, under Current Affairs
Move over City of God, Sao Paulo has taken the spotlight of Brazil’s carnage. But it’s not a former journalist cum movie director that’s sharing the vivid images of dead bodies in the street, it’s Google.
The search giant updated their Street View service to allow a guided tour of the streets of Sao Paulo, a city with roughly 900% the homicide rate of New York City. So naturally, when bodies started showing up, the world wasn’t surprised. Except that the bodies made their way onto the internet and into classrooms.
Along with decapitated corpses, the service also showed men defecating on the sidewalk. “Yes, dear. Make a left at the rolling, disembodied head, and a right at the pile of man poo…”
Photos of the bodies after the jump, if your stomach is strong enough. Or just simply click here.
