Robbers Scared by GTA
HellSpam writes "Some robbers tried to burglarize a poor old lady and her 3 grandsons. Her grandsons happened to be playing Grand Theft Auto:San Andreas, and the sounds of the police from the game scared them away! From the article: "The police in the game were saying, 'Stop, we have you surrounded. This is the police.' The burglar, unknowingly, thought this was the actual police and panicked ... being apprehended by PlayStation." Now, no more saying games are bad for you..."
A man ran in, pointed a gun at me, saw that I was playing Daikatana and ran off screaming.

I wish the 3 kids then all picked up baseball bats and laid into the thief
before taking off with his car and finding hookers.
This sounds abit too much like something from the film "Home Alone" doesn't it?

Are you sure that he didn't die laughing at you?

Somewhere in America:
Operator: "Hello, this is 911, how may I help you?"
Citizen: "HELP! I've been bloody burgled by two tall guys with fags and they are making off!"
Operator: "Is this some kind of a sick joke? Call when you have an emergency. "
Dude, this totally happened! This guy at work, he has a cousin who goes to school with one of the kids in the story. And he swears it really happened this way!
God invented whiskey so the Irish would not rule the world.
In my opiniation, "burglarize" is a perfectionally validative wordification. How else would reportization of the securitial/policial forceship appearize to be importantive enoughly to be respectative by the massmediaship and influentate the societyness?

Aliens were trying to abduct my grandmother, but I was playing Halo and they heard me operating the Scorpion, so they ran away.
