Real-Life Frogger Ends In Hospital Visit 314
BigSes writes "A 23-year old man has been hospitalized after police in South Carolina say he was hit by an SUV while playing a real-life version of the video game Frogger. Authorities said the 23-year-old man was taken to a hospital in Anderson after he was struck Monday evening. Before he was hit, police say the man had been discussing the game with his friends. Chief Jimmy Dixon says the man yelled 'go' and darted into oncoming traffic in the four-lane highway. Has it come time to ban some of the classics before someone else goes out and breaks a few bricks with their heads after eating a large mushroom?"

Violent video games claim another victim. Maybe now they'll put that NC-17 rating on that I've been saying for years Frogger needs. Jack Thompson will be vindicated, and Rockstar games will pay for their GTA series.
Maybe when this is all over, we can achieve our ultimate goal of putting a warning label on Tetris.

He'll get his Darwin award soon enough, and the world will be stronger for it.
Yup. Evolution at work right there. Almost took him out of the running so to speak. Maybe next time. I am sure there will be a next time :)

Actually, I'd say that it IS proof of his manhood; after all, do you ever hear of women doing these stupid stunts?

I pulled a Pac-Man and went around the party eating everyone's pizza while trying to avoid the bouncer. I had a tummy-ache for 3 days. Ban the Pac!

I can see that one working out pretty well.
