I know that blurring of non-humans is commonplace, but this one kind of makes a subconscious political statement.

A graffiti artist has painted Uncle Sam flashing his ID card and (presumably) demanding to see your papers:

And Google Street View obligingly preserves Uncle Sam's privacy by blurring out his face:

Amusing!
