An Odd Thing

Not sure why I find this funny but I do. As Google sends cameras around the world to photograph everything for Google Maps, they employ some kind of facial recognition software to recognize when there's a face in a photo and to blur it. If you're walking down a street when the Google cameras snap that street, your face will be blurred so as not to invade your privacy or give you some vague grounds on which to sue the people with the deep, deep pockets.

Okay. But that software is so sensitive that it blurs the faces of cartoons that look only vaguely human. Here, in this image I cribbed off Google Maps, we see that it has protected the anonymity of the little chicken mascot at a Koo Koo Roo restaurant. No wonder that chain is doing so poorly.
