Am I a bad person for thinking this is a funny story?

Man hit by SUV while playing live Frogger (http://news.blogs.cnn.com/2010/12/31/man-hit-by-suv-while-playing-live-frogger/)


A man in Clemson, South Carolina, had to be hospitalized after he was hit by an SUV while playing a live version of an arcade game, CNN affiliate WYFF (http://www.wyff4.com/news/26323176/detail.html)reports.


The 23-year-old man and some friends were acting out the video game Frogger, in which players try to send frogs across a busy highway without getting run over.


Police said the man, whose name was not released, yelled "Go!" and darted into traffic, where he was struck by a 2010 Lexus SUV.


He was treated at a local hospital and released. He is not a Clemson University student, police noted. Neither he nor the SUV driver was charged, police told WYFF.


I am glad no one was killed. I wonder how hard it will be for the driver of the SUV to get this 23-year old to pay for the damage (if there is any)


I am wondering if "alcohol was involved"? :har::har::har::har:

Platapus, you are a very, very bad person.

I remember having played Frogger (the arcade game) in 1981 ..
Apart from that i could not help laughing hard :har::har:

Thanks for posting,

At least he tried to let natural selection take its due course.:haha:

Platapus, you are a very, very bad person.




Excellent! I was wondering if I was slipping in my old age. Good to see I still have it. :yeah:

At least he wasn't killed. I had a friend who tried to play live Pac-Man in a maze of back alleys once and he was killed by ghosts for ingesting their "power pellets":nope:.

Well, he didn't say "ghosts" exactly, but before he died he said something about "crypts" or the like, which I assume are some kind of malicious spirit. Judging from the indecipherable arcane glyphs painted in the area, I think it was the blue one who got him.

I think he'll either get a runner up or honourable mention :D:D:rotfl2:

I LOL'd when I read it on the AP..... wonder if he was making the "bwop bwop" noises everytime he jumped. I wouldn't even try if I knew the median had alligators.

He'll get it next year, after he tries to play again.

If he was in Florida, there would be 'gaters.



I may be a bad person, but I find the thought of him getting hit slightly comical. I imagine the sight would've been something out of a comedy.
