Interesting message appearing on Google Earth

Every once in a while, the Internet users are discovering interesting images published on Google Maps or Google Earth that show all kinds of unexpected things. Because these two mapping solutions provide one click access to satellite imagery, it is extremely easy to view hidden stuff (unless it is not censored). This time, an interesting message appeared on a Boston field that says nothing more than 'Bush Be Gone'. Obviously, Google's mapping technologies captured the message and all the Internet users are now able to see it with a single click.

According to wbztv.com, the owners of the field wrote the message two years ago but they were not expecting to see it on Google Earth. But what's more interesting is that the other residents of the area didn't know about the message and they were quite surprised when they saw it.

"I actually kind of like it. It's a free country and they can say what they want to say. The way that they say that is a little different but as long as it's on their property, it's OK," one of the residents said for wbztv.com. "It's pretty impressive. It has a pretty deep meaning," another added.

At this time, I can show you only a picture with the message because it seems like the family who wrote it demanded the website above to avoid publishing a link to the map as they are afraid to show their address on the Internet.

This is not the first time when Google's mapping tool shows some unexpected messages to the users. The search giant even encouraged the consumers to create unique banners to appear on the maps in January when Google prepared a new photo session with Sydney, especially prepared for the Australian Day. However, the entire campaign was stopped because Google didn't receive the approval to fly at 600 meters altitude.
