A South Carolina man is in the hospital after being hit by a car. People getting hit by cars isn't unusual. Getting hit by a car because you made yourself the main character in your own version of the game "Frogger"is.
This man decided to "play" his own real-life version of the game. Most people are familiar with the game, "Frogger," but for those of you who aren't, the game is about a frog who crosses roads and rivers while trying to keep from being hit by cars and other hazards.
According to witnesses and authorities, he had talked about the game with friends shortly before yelling "GO!" and darting onto a four-lane highway.
Needless to say, no one can really be surprised he was hit by a SUV.
And the conversation between Officers and the Parents had to be an awkward, yet amusing, one:
"Your son is in the hospital. He was hit by a car."
"Oh my God! How did this happen?"
"He was pretending to be a frog."
"Um....What?"
Haha.
What I want to know is what would possess him to do something that dumb. Its obvious he wasn't in his right mind, if he has one, because no normal person would pretend to be a frog that ultimately gets squished when he darts into traffic. This guy should probably NOT be allowed to play video games or computer games ever again.
In the battle of Man vs. Car...100% of the time, the car wins.
So to all the gamers out there, word of advice...Do not try this at home. The creators of games don't include these warnings for no reason. They make these games for YOUR amusement, not your demise. If they are smart enough to create a popular game, then they probably know what they are talking about. Just saying.
