Moribund Mexican litters Street View
It's a sobering fact, but the further Google's Street View tentacles extend from Mountain View, the greater the chance they will eventually touch someone who doesn't enjoy the benefits of free macrobiotic lunch buffets and Segways.

is he dead?
Nice of them to just drive right by a guy lying half naked in the middle of the road?
Hit and run?
Did the poor lad get hit by the Google-o-mobile?
A new tag needed
We all know what NSFW means... perhaps another one is needed to signify something is depressing and will definitely not cheer you up.
skidmarks
Is that a rather long skidmark/tyre track next to his foot? If so I can only assume it was a monster truck that rode right over him :-((
Cynics have a point, but...
Maybe, just maybe, this picture and all the others like it might encourage at least one comparatively rich, Western, computer owning, Streetview voyeur to contribute something to a charity of some sort?

The Hard Truth
I'm very sorry to have to say this, but in most of Central and South America, it's an unwise move to stop to investigate someone lying in the middle of the road. Monterrey is *not like* Santa Monica.

Whats the point?
Please explain WTF the point of this pointless no-story is!
Ok, I'd had a skinful & decided to sleep it off
.. then the bleedin' google van went past. Good job my nutsack wasn't hanging out !
