Auschwitz Memorial Says Playing ‘Pokemon Go’ Not Allowed

http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/wireStory/auschwitz-memorial-playing-pokemon-allowed-40539951

It boggles the mind to think that people need to be told that playing Pokemon Go on these sites is inappropriate.

[VanDeKoik]

It’s crass.

But isnt it just stuff placed randomly? I’m not sure the game really cares where they are placed, but likely a future release will allow for places to “opt out”, or be placed on a white list.

(Yes, I'm ashamed of myself for this one...) ;)

Geez...how disrespectful.

Entertainment for nitwits - some oblivious idiot will die from a fall or by a dump truck and I will shake my head.

Your phone decides how far these Fools Go for Pokemon Go

My son in HS takes a summer program at the local community college. Some Pokemon go guy asked if my son had seen Picachu. My son quipped that since it was hot outside that this guy should check the lunchroom cause Picachu was there drinking a Diet Pepsi. This Pokemon go has gotten out of hand, and this incident amplifies that.

Yesterday the same about the Holocaust Museum in D.C. and Arlington Cemetery.... WTH is a Pokemon anyway?

[Gamecock]

I’ve heard that these little buggers are popping up in people’s houses.

Somebody is going to get shot before it’s all over with.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Owners of locations that don’t want these Pokemorons on their property should simply get a cell signal jammer...set up a simple remote on/off button and turn it on. If anyone comes snooping, simply shut it off.

[GreenHornet]

I never even heard of this thing a week ago.

[N. Theknow]

Some idiot in Tampa/St. Pete area totaled his car this AM playing this game while driving.

[markoman]

Same thing is happening at the Holocaust Memorial in Boston.

Pokemon, noun. A Rastafarian proctologist.

[faithhopecharity]

with the greatest respect for the murdered Jews and other innocent people,

they’re also playing computer games while driving on the highway!

What do two male Jamaican prisoners do in their cell?

They Pokémon.

[bgill]

Would someone, please, explain this pokemon game.

[HiTech RedNeck]

This is a Pokemon problem. Didn’t they know that people chasing Pokemon that can literally trot the whole globe would be unwelcome at a whole lot of places?

I could see a system where the user designates an area (like an open field or their own house’s yard) in which the Pokemon will then “appear.”

But this? What were they thinking?
