Google Street View all too serious about not revealing identities: Blurs Colonel Sanders face on every KFC banner

There has been quite some issues associated to Google’s Street View, those about it attacking privacy, etc. Well it appears Street View has taken all that far too seriously and is even blurring images uncle Sanders images on ad banners of KFC restaurants. I was a bit surprised reading this one and never thought Google would be so cautious to even try and reveal cartoon characters completely. Sounds pretty useless and if this is really happening on purpose, I can bet we will be seeing blurred faces on statues, etc. Anyone with an idea on what this is exactly? I think it’s more of an issue with Street View’s blurring algorithm that has applied it to every image it detects.
