Man Attempts To Play Real-Life Frogger, A La Costanza

Not everyone in the US is as obsessed with the snowpocalyptic Boxing Day Blizzard as we are. Some people are just going about their normal, regular, everyday lives, such as a 23-year-old man from South Carolina who was hit by an SUV while trying to play a real-life version of the arcade classic Frogger.

According to Anderson Chief Jimmy Dixon, the man had been discussing the game with his friends prior to the incident; he allegedly yelled "go" before darting into oncoming traffic in the four-lane highway. Of course, the incident resembles the late-season Seinfeld episode where George Costanza attempts this very thing (see the video below). We hope the young man doesn't continue mimicking Costanza, and risk inheriting the life of a bitter Latvian Orthodox double dipper who once tried to seduce his cousin.
