Prankster caught pulling a MOONIE on Google Street View – and now he says ‘I’ve made it’
Toby Sullivan shared his antics online after he was snapped in Hillingdon, Greater London
A CHEEKY chap’s bum has been immortalised online after he was caught MOONING a Google Street View car.
Toby Sullivan spotted the tech giant’s car as he walked with a pal in Hayes, Hillingdon, Greater London, dropped his trousers and flashed his bare buttocks for the camera in April 2018.
It appears the prankster foiled Google's 'cutting edge blurring technology' as his behind was published unblurred for all users to see on the photo mapping service.
However it appears Google have since caught wind and have since thoroughly pixelated the image - though using their zoom tool still reveals his bum.
Delighted Toby shared his brazen antics online and wrote: “Fully made it on google maps. I saw the car thought f*** it why not. I can’t f***ing believe it.”
The original Street View image shows Toby carrying a plastic bag and squatting while dragging his navy tracksuit bottoms down and baring his rear.
The image has since been edited to pixelate his bare flesh but is still winning praise from people on social media finding it hilarious and branding him a ‘hero’.
Since learning his bum was blurred Toby posted: “These a***holes have only gone and blurred it!”
Google state that they use 'cutting edge technology' to protect people's privacy on their mapping service.
Their website 'blurring policies' section states: "We have developed cutting-edge face and license plate blurring technology that is designed to blur all identifiable faces and license plates within Google-contributed imagery in Street View.

"If you see that your face or license plate requires additional blurring, or if you would like us to blur your entire house or car, submit a request using the Report a Problem tool.
"Please note, however, that once Google blurs an image the effect is permanent."
