Responsible Frogger

[4thofeleven]

So, Melbourne city council is apparently concerned about people drinking too much. To combat this scourge, they've done what any responsible person would do: Created a drinking themed Frogger game! You're a badly animated pedestrian, who has to cross several lanes of traffic in order to get to Flinders Street Station. Avoid the beers, they make this fiendishly difficult game even harder! Collect the bottles of water - as you know, drinking a single bottle of water will completly eliminate all the alcohol in your system! Sometimes the crossing zones flash red, and you get fined for jaywalking - this is an important detail, because we want to encourage people to rush across the traffic filled roads, rather than cautiously wait in the safe areas! The beer bottles are only present in the first couple of lanes, making the theme of the game less "Don't drink to excess" and more "Melbourne's traffic will kill you".

In other news, the Anglican church has started banning gnomes from cemeteries, on the grounds that they're unnatural. As an athiest, I could make a snarky comment about other things which don't exist, but I'm in a good mood today so I won't. Instead, I'm going to ask - does the church still tolerate gargoyles?
