Pokemon People Are Deranged

[Woody]

My wife and here friends went for girls weekend in Toronto. She said they were in Union station getting the subway back to the hotel when a massive mob of people bashed their way through everyone. She thought there was a train rerouting or something. Nope. Apparently there was a rare pokemon on the loose in the train station. She said it like a mas flash mob swarming of all sorts of people with their phones out. Crazy.

They must have had some sort of meet up In Des Moines today. I was seeing pictures all over fb.

After I wrote this I see that there is some good. People are meeting up and cleaning parks and lake areas at the same time.

This whole thing just baffles me.

It's alarming. My husband read that a woman had to be rescued after she climbed a tree chasing one and couldn't get down.

Aw that game is so terrible.

I read something that some shelters were renting out dogs for people to walk while playing to hide the fact that they were playing. The response has been overwhelming and many people are really bonding with the dogs and adopting them. I wonder if this is true?

A caller on Howard Stern last week says he works security at some kind of business and really early in the morning an lady was in a wheel chair screwing around in front of the place. When he confronted her she after pokemon. When asked about the wheel chair she said she had her foot run over the week prior while walking out into the street chasing one.

Actually it is true. Well false they are renting them, but true people are taking them for walks. Several shelters actually let you take dogs for walks. They are not out of adoptable dogs either but a lot have been adopted.

I have yet to see a big crowd of people searching for pokemon... I have heard so many people complain about how dangerous it is for the kids trying to search for them in parking lots late at night.. kind of scary.
