This game has blown up like nobody's business. I see kids in my neighborhood wandering around with their phone trying to find virtual Pokemon or dragons. Even Moms are into it. There will be laws passed because of this app on phones.

Great. Another thing to make people walk around looking at their phones instead of paying attention.

I have heard, unconfirmed of course, that some police department are telling people to stop trying to get access to Pokemon at police departments or they will find up in the Pokey for real.

This pokemon game and all silly games should not be allowed in the Holocaust Memorial Museum or at Arlington National Cemetery (or any cemetery). It’s just not appropriate.

If someone shows up to play this game in your venue, begin the educational lecture.
If players don’t like the lecture, they will get you off the Pokemon map through complaints faster than if you asked to be taken off.

There is something seriously wrong with the people who need to be told this. Yesterday, I shooed some morons away from a local cemetery - there was a funeral in progress and they were headed straight for it. Kids need to learn respect for solemn occasions and locations, and too many of today’s parents are failing in that duty.

Very weird isn’t it? And it appears to have been instantaneous. Went from 0-1000 in 2 seconds. Very, very strange.

One theory is that OK, kids usually drive these kind of hype-trends. Nowadays, you have many 20-40 year olds who behave like children. Then you have the over-40s who think if they participate in the latest kid-craze, it makes them Peter Pan. So the pool of “kids” who drive these crazes is probably much larger than it used to be.

Also, I say people don’t use their phones because they seek the content. They seek the content so they have something to do with their phones. The phone stimulus-response is an addiction, and they need “things” to do to satisfy the craving.

Auschwitz Museum says no to “Pokemon Go”

http://www.cbsnews.com/news/auschwitz-museum-no-pokemon-go/

You mean they even have to request this? How can anyone even think that it would be accepted to play Pokemon Go at Auschwitz?
