- ToddSchishler, on 07/22/2009, -0/+74GTA made me think that if I died, I'd just wake up outside of a hospital with a little less money than before.
- BREZZZ, on 07/23/2009, -0/+47I blame that on GTA. Before GTA almost nothing was blamed on GTA.
- DanS29, on 07/22/2009, -0/+47Everything nowadays gets blamed on GTA.
- Thorpe, on 07/23/2009, -1/+44I thought car surfing was in Saints Row 2?
- paradigmx, on 07/23/2009, -0/+39"The authors of the study found that there were 74 cases of car-surfing between 1999 and 20008"
74 cases in 18,000 years, thats pretty low... - Mtown, on 07/23/2009, -0/+33Cause everybody knows that GTAIV was actually a car-surfing simulator (or as the video game industry calls it, an CSS)
- Kuci06, on 07/22/2009, -3/+31***** car surfing
GHOST RIDE DA WHIP!
PUT YA STUNNA SHADES UP - Mtown, on 07/23/2009, -0/+27Really? I figured that even if i annihilated half of the police force with grenades and took down a chopper with an RPG, when the police finally arrest me they would just take all my guns and throw me back out on the street.
Oh and those bullet-proof windows on police cars? Apparently they aren't elbow or foot proof. - SumoSniper, on 07/23/2009, -0/+24Article is *****, there is no car surfing in GTA.
In the older games you used to be able to get on top of moving cars because it was badly coded, they specifically made it impossible in the latest game. Being a neurosurgeon doesn't give you a licence to publish unresearched *****. - Smyley, on 07/23/2009, -0/+21Whenever I tried to stand on a moving car in GTA4, I just fell off eventually and rolled on the ground for what seemed like 10 minutes.
- felman87, on 07/23/2009, -0/+21If you kill that hooker, you can get your money back.
- TonySki, on 07/23/2009, -0/+17it was. if you tried to stand on a car in GTA4 then you'd just get hurt and fall off.
- Kaegro, on 07/23/2009, -0/+15Its a good thing we have GTA, otherwise there would be no crime for the police to solve. Theft, murder and drugs would not be around if it wasn't for that awful, awesome game. Prostitution would also not be around if it wasn't for GTA. Its a good thing there arent any children in the games, otherwise people would start abducting and hurting children.
Oh, and car surfing is almost as fun as killing a hooker right after you've paid her to bring your health up. - DeviantDragon, on 07/23/2009, -0/+15I blame Teen Wolf.
- splam, on 07/23/2009, -0/+13Correction: Increase in Car Surfing Blamed On Stupidity
- Voide, on 07/23/2009, -0/+12Can you imagine a world without Grand Theft Auto?...
.....Mothers, Scientists, Psychologists, and Cops everywhere would actually have to WORK and find an explanation for *****, without being able to pull lame excuses out of their ass.
"Whatever my kid did wrong, sir, I'm almost positive it was Grand Theft Auto's fault." - Phych, on 07/23/2009, -0/+10My hemorrhoids are flaring up again...DAMN YOU GTA!!!!
- Mtown, on 07/23/2009, -0/+9I've noticed inflation has been increasing steadily. God damnit GTA...
- palehorse864, on 07/23/2009, -0/+9d
- OrangeTide, on 07/23/2009, -0/+9just like real life!
- JanusTheDoorman, on 07/23/2009, -1/+9I...
Y'know, I'm gonna let this one go. - arbysrocks, on 07/23/2009, -0/+8dugg for teen wolf.
- threon, on 07/23/2009, -0/+7GTA took my job!
- MrRushingJPR, on 07/23/2009, -0/+7At least they didn't try to include GTA IV (if you jump on a moving car in that game you fall off)
- rodbeezy, on 07/23/2009, -0/+6go stupid, go dumb dumb!
- kplo, on 07/22/2009, -1/+6"These waves are mine."
- lamiaconfitor, on 07/23/2009, -0/+5It is because no one would ever have a violent thought, steal a car or 'surf' on the tops of cars unless somone put those things in a video game first. DUH!
- darknecross, on 07/23/2009, -0/+5We are calling this phenomenon "Monkey see; monkey do."
- Lane, on 07/22/2009, -0/+4Blaming or thanking, it's a tough call personally. On that note, what about death proof? The chick is thrown from the hood of a car and catapulted into the air only getting a “bruise on her bum.”
- thinboyslim, on 07/23/2009, -0/+4Increase in video game scapegoats blamed on lazy research
- bjs3171, on 07/23/2009, -0/+4interesting, considering you can't car surf in GTA. We should get some scientists on this phenomenom of the Phantom Scapegoat.
- IgorUnchained, on 07/23/2009, -0/+4I actually heard about car surfing before GTA.....I wonder if the phenomenon appeared in the game because it reflected a segment of the population that the game was simulating.......or if GTA INVENTED the concept and have hooked teens and young adults like Joe Camel with a meth pipe into risking their lives to "Ghost Da Whip" on the blizock?
I will research the matter further....after I am done healing myself by indulging in prostitution. - Raptor007, on 07/23/2009, -0/+4Yeah, it was best in San Andreas. You could just sit in the back of a truck on the highway and shoot at other traffic.
- OrangeTide, on 07/23/2009, -0/+4I know! It is like running with scissors.
- thejackyl, on 07/23/2009, -0/+4GHOST RIDE THA WIP
- JinxCrow, on 07/23/2009, -0/+3Well, I'm glad someone else though of Teen Wolf when reading the phrase 'car surfing'.
- Raptor007, on 07/23/2009, -0/+3Grand Theft Auto blamed for something??? NO WAY!
- OrangeTide, on 07/23/2009, -0/+3at least it keeps the kids off drugs.
- Arlieth, on 07/23/2009, -0/+3It was a pioneering lagomorph known as Max who participated in the first car-surfing simulator. However, he could jump really high and he was really trying to dodge highway signage.
- Ghostsfp, on 07/23/2009, -0/+3But you can't ghost ride in any of the GTA games...
- Duffle, on 07/23/2009, -0/+3Real men surf trains.
- LilRabbitFooFoo, on 07/23/2009, -0/+3So, you've been an idjit even longer than they have been...
- iie.wakarimasen, on 07/23/2009, -1/+4i blame it on shear stupidity
- xavierofsparta, on 07/23/2009, -0/+3Gotta love people blaming things that don't even include car surfing as the cause of car surfing. Spot on research chums!!
- Bravedude, on 07/23/2009, -2/+5Perfect Simpson's quote for this.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qh2sWSVRrmo - OrangeTide, on 07/23/2009, -1/+3Man I've had the cops kill me in GTA so many times. Not only have I had them shoot me dead, I've also had them just run me over in the mad scramble to apprehend me.
- nismerf, on 07/23/2009, -0/+2Wow we always have to blame someone other than our inability to parent I suppose. If your kid is car surfing... you are a bad parent, if your daughter is wearing clear heals, you are a bad parent (taken from Chris Rock),
- JoeParanoid, on 07/23/2009, -0/+2I blame the popularity of car surfing on Sam & Max: Freelance Police.
- lizard450, on 07/23/2009, -0/+2I don't see how anyone can defend this game. It has been proven that GTA caused WW2, the genocide in Bosnia, 9/11, the wars in the middle east, the tsunami , and Katrina.
- jdelamater, on 07/23/2009, -0/+2Surf Ninjas, baby!
MOTOSURF!! -
