Page 1 of [VIDEO] Pokemon Go

Surely everyone has heard about this already:
Still waiting for the UK release though (at least on iOS), but in the meantime so many funny stories hitting the news:

Quote:
As reported by The Washington Post, the Holocaust Museum in Washington DC is home to not one, but three Pokestops.
And our favourite bible bashers are at it too (although I suspect this is just a joke):

Quote:
The infamous Westboro Baptist Church - known for its protests of military funerals and other even less savory incidents - apparently got involved in a Pokemon war when its location happened to be the location of a Pokemon GO gym. So, an LBGT ally used a Clefairy nicknamed "LoveIsLove" to take control of the gym, making quite the political statement. The Westboro Baptist Church then decided that it could use Pokemon to make its own political statements and, in the process, fight against Clefairy.

yesterday lunch time I felt liek I used to do at work when ppl were watching Big Brother when I didn't, a few of them talking about the Pokemon they found locally!
chatting to them and seeing it it did look kind of fun, and made more sense than just reading about it.
one said it makes his walk to work more interesting.
saw this on FB...

Move down to Ventnor, the Edge-if-you-are-lucky data connection will soon curb that. :(

Beware the game, it has hidden depths...
Film director Oliver Stone has branded the popular gaming app Pokémon Go a “new level of invasion” of privacy that could lead to “totalitarianism”.

I used to be with it, but then they changed what `it` was.
Now, what I`m with isn`t it, and what`s `it` seems weird and scary
I ran out of Pokeballs, and I can't restock anywhere near my house because O2 is rubbish and has no 3G here despite their website saying I should get it outdoors.
Contacted their support chat, was told with glee that turning off my phone, removing and reinserting my SIMM, turning on my phone and then following some instructions for an Android (I have an iPhone) would fix it, which of course it didn't.
Shame, because I hear stories of lots of people gathering together in some places and having pokemon catching meets, which I think is a nice communal thing...
...kind of like gathering the family together for Sunday lunch and then all ignoring each other whilst staring at phones.

You'll just have to pretend you're at the gatherings though.
