The Google Streetview cars have rolled past plenty of interesting scenes in the past: perverts loitering around strip clubs, crime scenes, etc. Now it would seem that a roadside birth has been added to the list… or that a merry band of pranksters just happened to be in the right place at the right time.
A Gizmodo.de reader cast doubts on the authenticity of the events in the photograph:
I am German and have to tell you it’s a fake. It has been reported in German television and in different German news sources (one of them: [www.pcgames.de] )
There is a hospital right across the street and they have no knowledge of a birth right in front of their door.
In the house is also an advertising agency that has no knowledge of a birth in front of their house.
If it is real it is quite incredible, but I can’t help but feel more than a little bit skeptical – but if it is a hoax it is funny rather than amazing, but no less impressive.
