We're on the right just past the puke and before the drunk dood



One of the cars, which drive around taking photographs for use in Street View, the latest development of Google Maps, snapped the unnamed man while he lay slumped against the grassy bank outside his mother's house in Victoria, Australia.
When Google launched the Street View tool in Australia, the picture was available to view by anyone who journied 'virtually' down his mother's road. However, it has since been removed after being flagged by concerned users.
The man said he had been dropped off by a taxi driver, who took him home from a night spent drowning his sorrows following the funeral of his best friend, who died in a freak boating accident. He said he lay on the grass because he felt ill, and only remembers being woken by police in the morning.
He said: "I'm not too happy about it. I mean, I shouldn't have been there in the state that I was in but I wasn't really thinking there would be someone driving past with a video camera on the roof filming me either."
He explained that he had been sad about the death of the friend, who had been killed the weekend before when his boat smashed into a compass pylon in waters at Lakes Entrance, Victoria.
"What do you do when you lose a mate like that, you know?," the man told the Melbourne Age. "I know what he would have done if I left - he would have partied too, that's what I would have wanted him to do, so that's what we did."
The man's mother said: "I was absolutely horrified - I was horrified that anybody had even heard about it."
