Dead Girl on Google Street View Alive, Just Joking

Google Street View snapped several pictures of a young girl apparently lying dead in the road in Worcester, UK. When discovered, they induced a local panic. But it turns out that 10-year old Azura Beebeejaun is alive and well and was just having fun:

Her innocent game just happened to coincide with the arrival of a Google Street View car to record the images of the road.

Azura said: ‘I didn’t know anything about the Google Street View car (recording me). I fell over while I was playing with my friend and thought it would be funny to play dead.

Well, my friends and I would do this when we were young/stupid just to see if cars would stop and investigate. They usually didn't.

Am I crazy, or should the real controversy surround the fact that strangers are taking photos of someone's 10-year-old and publicizing them?

You're crazy.
