Man Tries to Play Real Life Frogger, Loses

[Naheal]

Sisko, please express my thoughts.

 

[Dorian6]

NO! Don't save him! If his idea of a good time is trying to play real-life frogger on a four-lane highway, then he deserves to die.

If I saw someone do that and get hit by a truck, my first response would be "F*ck that guy. Let natural selection take over."

And the human race would be stronger for having removed this idiot from the gene pool

 

[thethingthatlurks]

He survived? Shit, that sucks for 2 reasons:
1) It interferes with natural selection, although I'm pretty sure he'll try to play "Snake" with cleaning solution at some point, so problem fixed.
2) That would have been one hell of a Darwin Award...

If anyone else is this stupid, it's only so long before someone decides that it's a good idea to recreate Mortal Kombat or other less innocent things than frogger.

 

[skitzo van]

This is just too goddamn funny to be real. I can't stop laughing, but I can't feel bad for the guy, he tried to re-enact frogger, was he going to jump into a sewer at the end?

 

[Thunderhorse31]

Apparently the dude had an extra life. Or at least, an extra quarter for the machine.

 

[Magnalian]

The real losers in the equation is the video game fans as this issue of stupidity is going to be repeatedly cited as the negative influence in games.

Biggest fail though is that the guy driving the SUV who hit him DIDNT kill him. I mean how can you hit someone with an SUV and NOT kill?

I'd call that a win. It takes skill not to kill someone with an SUV.

Damn... first thing I thought of was that Seinfeld episode where George plays Frogger to get the machine across the street haha.

 

[SimuLord]

I've compared crossing the street in Reno to playing Frogger, only because the drivers here have an alarming tendency to drive homicidally fast and run red lights at all hours of the day.

Hilarious snip.

And let's not forget "Man driven insane- Mutters mostly about creatures of 'Avatar'"

"Pill-binge kills man, witnesses say he thought he was running from ghosts."

"Bomb-tennis: Miss the ball, bye-bye!"

Legend of Zelda, Pac-man, and Pong.

 

[BehattedWanderer]

I find it humorous that his friends he was discussing this with did nothing to stop him. But hey, at least he didn't lose a life, and have to start all over. Because RealFrogger takes bloody years to even get back to the point where you can cross the highway.

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

Just wait for the inevitable lawsuit of failure. "Konami failed to warn my client [Insert name here] about the dangers of running through traffic. Money please!"

 

[ReaperzXIII]

In other non related incidents a man was crushed trying to recreate tetris and a maniac dressed as a hedgehog has gone throughout the city robbing rings.

 

[lwm3398]

damn you modern medicine, let evolution take its course >:\

Pfft. We've been wallowing in non-evolution since penicillin was invented, maybe longer. Since we can now save the stupid and sick, and everyone wants to (Not that it's not a good thing), people who are susceptible to all sicknesses and such will pass on their genes, meaning we will never create a perfectly immune Utopian species naturally (key word). People who are naturally immune to things can pass on their genes, yes, but there's the chance they mix with non-immune people. Soon, the immunity gene dies off.

 

[BioHazardMan]

Bummer he wasn't scrubbed from the gene pool.

 

[SFR]

Five bucks says he gets an honorable mention in the Darwin Awards.

Also, I feel slightly more embarrased to be human now.

Don't be embarrassed. At least being human means you have the ability to gives someone the thumbs up before doing something stupid. And when they fail, you can carry their corpse AND walk at the same time.

Luckily, the man survived and was taken to the hospital where he is in stable condition.

now why does this never happen in the game???

i beg to differ! i don't kill people with SUVs every day! as does everyone i know

This is what video game violence does to people. It must be stopped.
Frogger must be banned throughout the world before more driving accidents occur.

I can't wait for someone to try to jump over a rolling barrel and wipe out.

wouldn't it be more effective AND beneficial to ban driving?
