Handheld Gaming Propels Boy Onto Subway Tracks

[Varrdy]

No doubt the press will leap upon this and blame gaming for the near-miss, rather than the boy for bing a fuckwit.

Lol, how many stories are you going to source from the Daily Mail?! Might as well trawl Fox News XD
Good find though, I'll grudgingly admit.

The PSP is probably broken. Those things are incredibly fragile.

At least some busted pixels but most likely a pile of parts.

As a NYC resident, I used to think that most of the people who end up on the tracks get pushed(and you would probably agree if you rode the 7 train too) but lately it seems that most of these incidents are from morons who are just careless.

Hell, I don't care about the main news story, I'm just feeling happy that someone leapt down straight away to help him.
It made me warm and fuzzy!

 

[moose_man]

Bet it was pokemon.


Wow I feel like a terrible person.

Video games: Still blamed for people's inherit idiocy.

This is why irresponsible parents shouldn't be allowed to have kids.

 

[TheFrost]

And cue the ignorant media getting hold of this and turning it into another 'anti-gaming' news story.

Makes you think what would have happend if the boy was reading a book when he fell down. Would it reach the news?! I think not.

 

[teh_Canape]

nothing to do with being a naive kid or a fascinating game...that's just plain idiocy

unless it was a gameboy and he was playing Pokemon

still unforgivable, but understandable

I just recapped Fox News, reaction

 

[OceanRunner]

I wouldn't use a handheld in public anyway, in case sombody nabbed it.
Full credit to Alessandro for saving the kid.

 

[SarahSyna]

When I read the title I thought it was going to be about a DS shoving a kid in front of a train. I feel cheated.

But yeah, I've done that sort of thing before, ie zoning out while reading and completely forgetting where I am. That said, I've never done it around flipping trains, or even bumped into a wall.

 

[Wintermoot]

Could be worse, he could have ended up being beheaded, revived then enter some kind of medicore manga.

atleast we wouldnt have to worry about his bad genes reamining in the gene pool!

 

[Korey Von Doom]

Or as Fox News will put it "Video Games attempt to kill 10 year old boy"

You made me lol :3
Silly microwavable babys.

 

[Volothos]

And where was the kid's parent(s)?

Very good question. I'm getting flashbacks of a kinect ad here...

 

[Retardinator]

That's why I hate getting important text messages when in a hurry to get somewhere.

 

[xMelior]

Just imagine what his parents did when the boy came home.

 

[OldAccount]

I don't understand stories like this. I admit to texting while walking(never while driving btw) and it's fairly easy to tell where your going with your peripheral vision. Maybe he was focusing more on the screen because he was gaming.

how many people have smashed their car into something because of mobile phones.
