Man blames Silent hill for...

[Frank-The-Hedgehog]

...Causing a hospital blackout.

He could have killed someone.

A 35 year old man, known only as "Jan H.", recently caused a blackout at the Sophia Hospital in the Netherlands because he thought he was in Silent Hill.

While no one was seriously hurt during the 45 minute blackout, Jan caused a huge disturbance. Elevators became stuck and workers had to manually respirate the patients in the intensive care unit.

Last week in court Jan claimed that he suffered a psychosis in the hospital which led him to believe that shutting down the hospital's power would allow him to acquire a toothbrush that was needed to complete a Silent Hill puzzle.

Jan was found not guilty. The court ruled he had "no idea of the true consequences of his deed," and he will instead recieve psychiatric treatment.

That sounds horribly dangerous, many people could've died....

How does shutting down the power make obtaining a toothbrush any easier? Plasma field around the bathroom? Turbo robots hooked up to the mains guarding it?

Any idea if this guy was a new grounds fan?

In his defense, the hospital levels in each silent hill have the most ass-backwards puzzles of any game.

I'd like to put a bullet between the eyes of anyone who has ever blamed a videogame for real-life events.

If I get caught, I'll just blame it on a videogame.... seems to work.

"Why are you trying to steal my diary?"

"I was trying to join the thieves guild"

"where are you going with that wrench?"

"SPY'S SAPPIN MAH SENTRY"

"What are you building?"

"I requre additional pilons."

And so on in that manor.

Way to read, bro.

[snapper5]

you know, i really have doubts about how true this is.

why were the doors to the power unlocked? why did it take them 45 minutes to figure out that someone had cut the power?

Well, it IS the Netherlands. I don't know any Netherlandic stereotypes, so I'm just going to stop typing now.

[nsc007]

Might I ask why the fuck the hospital didn't have a backup generator?

[Thebunniebrothers]

Those are Dutch stereotypes and knowing us, we were probably high as shit.

Ah! So that's where Amsterdam is. I knew I could've come up with something. Too bad it's 6:30 in the morning and I haven't slept in forever.

Well.... There were a bunch of evil nurses lurking about... and nobody could find the moon jewel to activate the elevator.

[Lost-Chances]

Please excuse me. I think I am in Dead Rising and need to shoot up my school to get...Magic points.

[SuspiciousPenguin]

I laugh in an evil mastermind sort of way at this man's tom-foolery.

but seriously what a nob

[Gedveikur]

Well sure the fact that he shut off the power isn't funny, but the fact that he did it to get a toothbrush makes the whole situation tragically hilarious.

not sure how he even thought that turning off the power would help him acquire the last piece of the puzzle, that holy toothbrush.

[Luxury-Yacht]

This is the most balla thing I have heard in WEEKS.

[TheRadicalOne]

I am so glad they do not wear triangular hats at that hospital.

[WeirdJamFace]

What...the...fuck?
; If you'll excuse me, I need to jump on turtles while crawling through pipes.

"sir, where you going with that bag of dirt?"

"I'M TAKING GOLD TO THE TOWN HALL SO OUR BARRACKS CAN PRODUCE MORE FOOTMEN!"

[EpicFail]

Haha, that's hilarious AND awesome! Wonderful.

Or that the nurses don't dress in skanky and dirt covered outfits.

I really hope that the hospital doesn't look like the ones that always seem to be in Silent Hill.

That would just be scary.

That's weird, I thought I was in grand theft auto and stole 30 cars and shot 100 police.
