Aaron and Christine Boring live on a quiet street in Pennsylvania. Their life wasn’t especially exciting (sorry) until Google Street View came around taking pictures, as they are wont to do. Thing is: the Borings live on a private street and that’s trespassing. The Borings sued, complaining that this invasion of privacy had decreased their property value. That charge was dismissed and Google has now paid the Borings exactly one dollar to settle the case. I’m sure the Borings would have a big celebration but sadly no one would be able to find their house. Oh well, I mean how exciting would a party there be anyway? At the Borings? I’ll stop now.
Here’s a cached version of their Boring house:
