Well i didnt know where to post this but i guess its kinda off topic (not the usual gaming topic)

http://kotaku.com/5044866/grand-theft-auto-helps-preteen-rescue-family-from-crashed-car

It happened on August 27th around 9pm, as the Norris family of five was heading to Diamond, Illinois to visit relatives. Their 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee swerved off the road, hitting a guardrail and flipping four times before coming to a stop, caving in the roof and smashing out the back window. With her mother hanging upside down and her father pinned against the steering wheel, 11-year-old Audrey Plique climbed out of the back window and helped her parents and two younger siblings escape the car. The motivation for her heroic act, according to her mother Karen Norris?

"She just knew, from playing 'Grand Theft Auto.' She saw on there that when a car rolls over, it can blow up. She knew that could happen to us
Looks like the gta series is not all bad fter all

Videogames are an amazing tool. I can't count how many things I learned from them. 8)

I don't know if I should feel disgusted or happy, but anyone should help their family if there in any trouble.

The Norris family? Is Chuck okay!?!?
:P
But anyways, I would hope she would try to get them out even if the car wasn't going to blow up.

:lol: I was right! As soon as I saw the topic of this thread, I thought, "Wow, I bet the kid thought the car was going to blow up because of GTA, so he/she pulled her/his family out."

Of course other media outlets are either going to:
  • Spin this story into something negative "Car almost explodes, video game GTA involved"
  • Or not show this story at all.
Heroic kid though, quick thinking.

You know, I bet it was him that pulled them out. He must have disguised himself as a little girl to make people think it was her and not him! :o

That, or Chuck was in an impossible position and his offspring rescued them all.

Car wouldn't of exploded.

Kid causes more damage than good by moving injured people in the wrong fashion. Way to go GTA you caused this kid to injure her parents even more. At least she still thinks what she did is good.

Remember people, don't remove people from a crashed card. You don't know what your doing. There are always those few jerks who will sue you because you tried to save them.

Yeah, "Parents sue 11 year old daughter for pulling them out of a burning car. The father said, 'if it wasn't for that little brat, I'd have gotten the life insurance I deserved'."

Yet we won't hear this, won't we? But when the next big school shooting comes along, who you gonna blame? Video games, of course. Not saying that its a complete anti-gaming bias on the part of the media, but I'd like to see at least one positive story on video games. (And by media, I mean TV, OK? Don't get nitpicky.)
