Caught On Google Maps: Unlucky Prostitutes Caught Plying Their Trade On Camera

Caught On Google Maps: Unlucky Prostitutes Caught Plying Their Trade On Camera

Google Maps turns up some people in interesting situations; perhaps these women are using that to improve their business portfolios.

Someone has found a load of girls that he thinks are prostitutes on Google Maps.

Yes, you heard. Someone has taken the time to compile an internet gallery of people on Google Maps that look like they might be punting themselves.

I mean, they could just be hanging out by the side of the road in their underwear, shading themselves with umbrellas, but - well - just look at the pictures.

Product placement is everything these days. Brands will try anything to make their product seem more appealing to potential customers by getting their name out there. Costa and Co-op have just been added to Coronation Street, Superdrug was all over Love Island, and now - apparently - Procter & Gamble (the huge multi-national goods company) has bought its own storyline in the show Black-ish.

Well, even small businesses need to advertise, and - as anyone who has ever been inside a telephone box in central London (what were you doing?) knows - sex workers need publicity, too.

As far as advertising goes, getting your 'product' on Google Maps would be a pretty big deal - and luckily for us, some internet loser has compiled a list of all of the sex-workers he could find.

The gallery contains women from around the world standing in various stages of undress by the side of roads.

Who could forget the woman who was giving this guy a hand job down the side of an alleyway in Manchester?

There is no guarantee as to whether the woman in question was actually being paid, or just doing it out of the goodness of her own heart. What we do know is that the street (postcode M12 6HR) was renamed from Temperance Street to Hand Job Alley on the site afterwards. Well done to whoever made that happen.

There is little doubt about what these women are up to though.

Busted.. Google Spots These Prostitutes.

Although this woman appears to have been busted (either that or the coppers are up for a bit of afternoon delight).

Busted by the Cops?

Some of the claims are a bit dubious, though. Some of the women seem to be rather innocently standing around outside the gynaecologist. Maybe this woman in Nice, France is innocently bird watching. You decide.

Anyway, aren't you glad that you now know this exists?
