谷歌街景车

　　新华网8月16日电 据Gizmodo报道，谷歌街景车司机最近名声一直不太好，不但从WiFi里收集个人信息，还经常拍到裸体妇女、不雅行为、谋杀等画面。现在，又被一群泰国人抓住。

　　事发在泰国北部的一个村子里，当地一直抗议修建水坝，所以当谷歌街景车去那里四处拍摄的时候，村民“非常担心有些人在伪装调查”。那么如果修建水坝的人来了以后村民会怎么做呢？一伙儿村民就把司机抓了起来，把他拖到附近的寺庙里，让他向佛祖忏悔说自己是间谍。

　　在审问司机并让他向佛祖忏悔后，村民把他放了，还向他和谷歌公司道歉，说村民的行为过于鲁莽了。在一份公开说明中，村民们写道：

　　我们向官员和谷歌道歉，还有全泰国人民以及全世界人民。

　　所以，全世界的人民们应该会原谅这些泰国村民。不过，千万不要想在泰国修水坝了！

　　A Gang of Thai Villagers Tried to Arrest a Google Street View Driver

　　Google Street View drivers haven't exactly had the best rep recently， what with that whole collecting-private-Wi-Fi-data debacle and their general propensity for photographing naked women， defecators， murders， and mid-coital couples， just to name a few. And now， one almost got arrested by a group Thai villagers。

　　The northern Thai village where the incident took place， Sa-eab， apparently has a long history of protesting dam-building， so when the Google Street View car came poking around， they became "extremely worried" that "someone was trying to survey the area in disguise，" according to the Associated Press. So what do you do when those dam-building bastards come around? Why， get a small mob together， detain the driver in a citizens arrest， and drag the perpetrator to the nearest temple so he can swear on Buddha that he's not a spy， of course。

　　After questioning him and forcing him to swear on Buddha's likeness， the villagers released the driver and promptly apologized to both him and Google for their slightly overeager brand of vigilance. In a public statement， the villagers wrote:

　　[We] apologize to the official， to Google， as well as to the Thai people throughout the nation and to the citizens of the world。

　　So children of the world， hopefully you can find it in your heart to forgive them. And for god's sake， never try to build a dam in Thailand。
