Froggin' Idiot

The saddest part of this story is that this would-be amphibian survived this incident, keeping his DNA in the human gene pool which is sure to produce offspring with the mental capacity of tadpoles.

In a game where a frog must hop from one side of a road to the other, you wouldn't think a "Do not try this at home" label would be necessary. But there's always someone to prove you wrong.

In South Carolina, a 23-year-old man played his own game of Frogger when he tried to dart across a four-lane highway. Police Chief Jimmy Dixon said that the man had been discussing the game with friends and had shouted "Go" as he ran out into oncoming traffic. Unfortunately, the gamer didn't make it past Level 1, as he was mowed down by an unsuspecting SUV. The driver of the SUV didn't realize that the car had been unwittingly cast in a re-enactment of a popular 80's arcade game. The driver involved in the incident is not expected to be charged.
