Another day, another "games made me do it" excuse. Fortunately, this one is actually pretty funny. A six-year-old Virginia boy was so intent on getting to school one morning that, after missing the school bus, he decided to help himself to the family sedan and drive there.
Unfortunately, he didn't make it to school on time, crashing the car instead. He only suffered minor injuries, and was even able to get to school, escorted there by authorities after a quick hospital evaluation. His parents were charged with child endangerment, and he and his brother are now in protective custody.
The unnamed boy racer pulled off at least two 90 degree turns, passed several cars and ran off the two-way rural road a number of times before an embankment and utility pole put an end to his shenanigans. It is believed that he picked up a 2X Score Modifier but failed to achieve any Takedowns.
The boy claims he learned to drive playing Grand Theft Auto and Monster Truck Jam. Great to see that his parents let him play GTA, but I feel a bit cheated. I've been playing videogames for longer than he's been alive, and I can't drive at all.

The Lord has been charged with aiding and abetting a minor in a stolen vehicle.

Sounds like his Kudos would've been pretty good though.
And "The Lord has been charged with aiding and abetting a minor in a stolen vehicle." kinda made me lol, just a lil bit.

Glad he and his brother were removed from their parents.
Maybe playing GTA was the reason he crashed. If he thought the driving there is how the car would handle that might have caused the crash. Maybe next time his parents can get him Turismo or Project Gotham, then he would be able to make it to school on time and not crash. Also they'd be seen as better parents, because if true, letting a 6 year old play GTA is fucking awful.
When I plan a trip there, I drive at least 2 times a day in the month before that and when I get there I really notice that I know the track better then some of my "racingfriends" that don't practice it in games :-)
Luckily with my G25 and GTR-Evolution, the track and cars feel a lot more realistic then they are in Forza :-)
I have to ask: is this a white ign't or a black ign't? What do the clues tell us? I vote PWT aka Caucasian sub-human. Why? Let me share my inductive reasoning:
1. There was no interview or picture of the family. White folk tend to hide their shame, while ign'ts revel in it and grant interviews;
2. The child is driving a 2005 Taurus. This is a rather pedestrian vehicle. The fact that the car is only 3 years old implies it was purchased new. Ign'ts lease the most current SUV available and then have it repossessed within a year;
3. The child was desperate to go to school. He didn't drive around the 'hood. He knew that school was a good place because it had phys ed and breakfast. White ign't children know the value of an education;
4. The mother fell asleep and both kids were taken by child protective services. I propose that mom was tweaking on meth, the State found a house in utter disrepair, and it is in rural Virginia. These factors equal meth country. And, mom is white because ign'ts are not doing meth...yet;
5. Mom was named Jacqulyn and this could be a curve ball. Yes, the name is sufficiently ign't and "creative," but to my ear it screams more Caucasian cave dweller/PWT, i.e. sort of like Daisy or Tripp or Bristol, than black ign't. I could be wrong, perhaps this is a black ign't married to a PWT family? My, the progress brought by the age of Obama;
What do you, my respectable negro friends and allies, think? Is this an ign't family, a PWT family, or something all together different? What is the logic governing your conclusion?
the lolcano has errupted yo.
Holy shit did I laugh at that!!!
thanks for that
I loled. Too hard.
