- Tobey, on 10/12/2007, -6/+38How could anyone seriously be playing GTA while driving? I thought it was hard enough to play while just sitting on my couch...
- ThisGeek, on 10/12/2007, -2/+27Next they'll be telling us that it's wreckless to play GTA while murdering prostitutes.
- JustinGN, on 10/12/2007, -6/+30I can understand playing it when the bus is in PARK, at a school while the children board the bus, as long as the sound is down if it's an M rated game. But while driving? He deserved to be fired, no way around it. That's just something you do not do, ever. Period.
- doherty, on 10/12/2007, -13/+37rm999: people like you cause fender-benders by not paying attention, in turn making traffic even worse for the rest of us. dick.
- ThankTheCheese, on 10/12/2007, -7/+28I'm driving right now ;)
- d03boy, on 10/12/2007, -4/+22You and him are the reasons why we need 300 warning labels on a spoon.
- blueigloo, on 10/12/2007, -12/+28to rm999: People like you are whats wrong with drivers now adays..
- Ignathius, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10they're too drunk to play portables while flying
- Ignathius, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9but the difference is, reading digg.com while sitting in a cubicle, has virtually no chance of getting a bus load of passengers killed.
- Lumiras, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9Well, let's take GTA out of the equation. The guy is still a huge idiot to be playing his PSP while on the job, especially when his job is driving
- prosthetichead, on 10/12/2007, -4/+11Its From The Sun i seriously doubt if this is even a little true :)
- clumsyninja, on 10/12/2007, -3/+10I don't usually say stuff like this, but what an idiot. You just know there will be people blaming the game for this, and they're idiots too.
- JesperL, on 10/12/2007, -5/+11I doubt the passengers were terrified. They were probably just upset that they didn't get to have a go.
- JudgeDredd, on 10/12/2007, -6/+12When I was a child I had a bus driver that would drive while reading a book every day while taking us children to summer camp.
- rm999, on 10/12/2007, -4/+10to everyone who replied to me:
There was a 3 hour traffic jam because someone got in an accident on the turnpike. Traffic literally didn't move for 2 hours. It was a joke. Get a sense of humor. - alski707, on 10/12/2007, -4/+10''people like you cause fender-benders by not paying attention''
no, its ppl like him that cause at least one of the 50,000 (yeah read that again and try to comprehend - Fifty Thousand!) deaths in the US alone ever year.
'nuff said. - Pottersquash, on 10/12/2007, -6/+11Wow, digg sensationalizes a story. The media just titles it "Driver plays PSP" digg titles "Driver plays GTA" What does GTA have to do with this story other than to inflame the minds of the readers and get diggs? I think this is will become a problem on digg, we shouldnt be sensationlizing stories for diggs, it shouldnt be a popularity contest, it should be I found something cool, you guys read it, not i found something cool let me make it cooler.
If we start "jazzing" up headlines for diggs, we are no better than "journalist" who jazz up the news for readers. - netwookiee, on 10/12/2007, -3/+8When I was a kid, our school bus driver got fired for stopping at his girlfriend's house for 20-30 minutes to have sex. LOL
- alanmarchman, on 10/12/2007, -4/+9It's the Digg Dumbass of the Day!
- DoctorShim, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7wouldn't it be great to drive and chat on irc?
[shim] bbl i just hit a kid omg :/ - MiamiGuy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Heh I could see a new ad on the back of the bus about this "How's my driving?" with a picture of a guy playing a psp.
- d03boy, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6Because its IRONIC that he was driving a bus and playing GTA. In GTA you can drive buses -- and kill people.
- desiv, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6This is what's wrong with DIGG.
All these comments, and not one reference to Otto from the Simpsons!!!
:-) - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Ever heard of reading the comments before you post?
Obviously not. - o0joshua0o, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I usually ride the bus to work and play my DS on the way. Whenever I play a driving game I'm always struck by the irony that I'm taking the bus specifically so I won't have to drive, and yet here I am driving for fun at the same time.
But then again, driving in Mario Kart is a heck of a lot more fun than dealing with morning traffic. - Mathiias, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3To clarify, it's from a British paper called The Sun (which I am unfamiliar with), not the American trash rag weekly The Sun (which is full of lies and untruths).
- MSStategrad2001, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4POTTERSQUASH -
The title didn't sensationalize anything, the article clearly states that the driver was playing GTA on a PSP... - adml_shake, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6I'm glad he got that boot put to his ass. Thats just stupid what he did.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6Digg because of the credible source. LOL @ the sun
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -7/+10Am I the only one waiting for a taxi cab driver being caught playing Crazy Taxi while driving? I mean come on!.... the irony!!

http://www.findacritter.com - tombomb, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Man, this guy is an idiot. What if you were on a bus and the driver wasan't paying full attention to the road? He has your life in his hands (and feet). People like this is why our society has gotten all screwed up...
- LycoLoco, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3OH NOES! MORE FACTS! It wasn't about sensationalization, it was simply stating the game rather than just the system. It's not like it's blaming the game.
- fyrfyter, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4And we wonder why the gene pool is polluted, with people like this continually swimming around the shallow end.
- manvsmonster, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Just like that servant guy in The Libertine, by the way...
- Jersey2FL, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2This is the first Digg headline that made me laugh out loud.
- Boredom431, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2If anyone here used to watch Pimp My Ride (NO not the damn Volkswagen commercials making fun of it) then you'd know that they also put useless computers in your car that force you to look at the screen to press the XM radio button or TV. Then again if you used to watch Pimp My Ride you know they put TV's on the bottom of a guys car door (when the hell would you look at that in the gas station?) and put a Ping-Pong table in the back of a guys truck which he uses to deliver.. Not the brightest orange in the bunch...
- d03boy, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5Nobody looks at ads anymore besides you.
- paolonorte, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Oranges don't come in bunches, bananas do...
/metaphor nazi - Boredom431, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Damn I wonder what Jack Thompson is going to say.
- DJRen, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5Being from Blackburn, unfortunatly it is....
- kaje, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4Ya. I get pissed off when playing video games with other people. I don't like sharing the controller.
- fibber, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2You can play operation online btw
http://www.hasbro.com/games/default.cfm?page=demos - DarkHack, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I have nothing to against people playing with PSP, but while driving is definally dangerious if not paing attention to the road. Just play your PSP at home or at work during lunch time...
"Keep on gaming..." - niia, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Havn't they heard? Gamers have faster reaction time.
- Cerberus047, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1they complained because he payed to much money for his memory stick!!
- Boredom431, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1@paolonorte
Well I didn't want to say the sharpest knife in the (I forget what) and I didn't know if it was brightest lemon in the (insert another word here). I've never been good with the metaphors, after all I did say
Just because I'm different doesn't mean I'm the same back when I was 6" >.> - olliholliday, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4i'm pretty sure the police will be investigating this if it's true...
reckless endangerment etc - serra, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1... or the busdriver from South Park!
- antipro, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1yeah I didnt expect that movie to be a comedy. Or atleast I think it was a comedy.
I wasn't sure until they had that musical number about dildos. -
