A few weeks ago a number of bloggers pointed out that some Target stores in the U. S. wised up and painted their store symbols on their roofs so that they would be clearly visible in Google Earth. Now The Register points out that others have taken to making their mark on Google Earth by writing their names or - so creatively - expressing profanities in 40 m letters. These can also be viewed in Google Local. I guess cartographers will have to put this on the map now.

Thanks Ted.
