<< it appears that some enterprising resident of Fairbanks, Alaska, has worked out how to completely disable the Street View car’s onboard recording device! Even better, the process doesn’t involve any technical wizardry – all you need to do is stick a plastic bag over the top of the camera. >>

Hah! Here's the link to Google Maps (I can't connect well to Google Maps so I can't see it, hope it shows):
http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ie=UTF8&layer=c&cbll=64.848938,-147.708066&cbp=1,246.88155098002426,,0,23.803880364053267&t=h&ll=64.850734,-147.706482&spn=0.008517,0.032723&z=16&panoid=8Z9UW_3FU5bpk2o4Px6L8Q

It's fun to see how some sources are more important than others.
GoogleSightSeeing publish it: everybody talks about that
StreetviewFun.com published it more than 2 weeks ago: nobody talks about.

It's now also on the frontpage of Reddit though they link straight to Google Maps:

I'm sorry, this is supposed to be funny? Never. Besides, what's wrong with a more permanently-temp solution to the eternal and righteously justified quest for privacy? Mind you, this just an art drawing, but if we take it as a blueprint for how to face the threat from Google..... presto! no more invasive house-façade snapshots EVER!!!
