Life, It's Not A Game

Man Hit By SUV While Playing Real Life Frogger




A 23-year-old South Carolina man almost his life during a game of Frogger last Monday.

Probably imitating a Seinfeld episode which aired in 1998, the Soth Carolina man and his friends tried to play “real-life Frogger” but ended up in hospital after getting hit by a Lexus SUV.

Frogger is a famous videogame which was developed originally by Konami in 1981 and it features a frog trying to cross a highway while dodging incoming cars. Seinfeld’s “The Frogger” episode ended with his friend George Costanza trying to cross the street with a Frogger arcade machine in order to reach a power outlet. The arcade machine was eventually hit by a Freightliner, giving Seinfeld the chance to end the episode with the obligatory “Game Over!”

We can't all be winners.

Really? This is what it's come down to? I say we make a drive out of it and go to SC and finish what the SUV should have.

Reminds me of the college kid that got killed mimicking a scene from I think Varsity Blues a few years ago by laying down on the dashed line on the road.
