By now you may have heard about the controversy surrounding Google's introduction of its Street View feature in Google Maps: Cat Lady Privacy Invasion! Unfortunately, the feature is only available right now in New York, SF, Miami, Denver and Vegas, baby! We personally can't wait until Street View hits LA. Imagine the possibilities it can capture: Perez Hilton eating an eclair at Coffee Bean! Lindsay Lohan throwing away all of her empty liquor bottles, knives and mirrors! Owen Wilson skateboarding down Ocean! Jack Weiss birding! The GarageMahal! Seriously, we can't wait. It's gonna be awesome. In the meantime, we'll just have to satisfy ourselves with images of hippies in SF on Segways.
