Pokemon Go, the new Darwin Award Accessory

[ttystikk]

Yep, falling off cliffs, running into heavy traffic, placing their cellphones in the microwave to spin on the turntable- and in the process cooking them...

If ridding the world of a healthy smattering of particularly stupid inhabitants of the shallow end of the gene pool was their goal, I'd say they're succeeding admirably!

It's more fun than throwing quarters in the street in front of the frat house, lol

I've always thought that if we just took away manhole covers for a week, our gene pool's quality would be enhanced by a factor of 3 or 4. We may lose a few friends and loved ones in the process, but omelettes from eggs and all that...

Grown ass people...

I'm glad social media and trends etc. are all optional. Feels good not having to carry around any technology.

What is a 'pokemon' ?

...Oh, and laughing at the dorks that I saw playing pokemon.

At first I thought that we might also save some money by not having to print those expensive braille messages in our elevators - but then I realized that the blind would be totally unaffected.

So you assume anyone that plays video games doesnt get ass? You make a lot of assumptions lou.

Very strong opinions on such minor things... You don't like video games, that's cool. I don't play them either, but I dont hate on the folks that do.

Falling off cliffs for a video game is ridiculous, but that wasn't happening in the 90's.

I just dont get the point of that post. Was it to make yourself seem like a non gaming badass?

Having opinions is dumb.

Witnessed this firsthand in a park recently. You won't believe it until you see it. Random sampling of regional nerds bobbing their chicken heads back and forth towards their phones. Walking in circles and wending through the landscape, these people aren't right. This may become worse than the crack epidemic of the 8o's. mthrfkrs all jacked up on pokemon.
