Sometimes Google is TOO much of a smartass... - GoFuckYourself.com

I'm in Australia and use Google Maps Australia. I ask for directions to Brooklyn, which is a suburb about 30 mins from here. So instead of choosing the closest location, or at least one that's in Australia (remember I'm using gmaps Australia) it gives me directions to Brooklyn NY USA (Estimated trip time: 56 days.). Number #40 is "Kayak across the Pacific Ocean"

G is a smartass.

Didn't even do the condescending "Did you mean..." thing.

I think it's great that they've got a sense of humor. Wonder how Microsoft would have handled it?

They just did that to ensure that Pauline Hanson does not make a return.

Sense of humour is cool... strange assumptions that someone in Australia would be referring to the NY Brooklyn when they're requesting directions is not!

That's all part of their "We're not totally evil... see you even laughed!" philosophy...

LA to Beijing requires a couple kayak trips, with a stop off in Hawaii.
