Cops: Man playing real-life 'Frogger' hit by SUV

From Associated Press (Dec. 30, 2010):

CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) — A 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 at around 9 p.m. Monday.

In the "Frogger" arcade game, players move frogs through traffic on a busy road and through a hazard-filled river. Before he was hit, police say the man had been discussing the game with his friends. [read more]

Well, that’s a smart idea. Not! Excuse me I must have left my brains at home.

A 23-year old discussing a game invented in 1981? The game is older that he is! I remember the game when it came out (yes, I am dating myself). I guess game manufactures are bringing back the classics for the younger generation. Plus you can play Frogger online.

I am glad this idiot err I mean this man is okay—well he is in stable condition anyway. The accident could have been much much worse.
