Pokemon Goooooooooooooooooo

Two men trying to catch Pokemon instead caught some serious air after they fell off a cliff in San Diego on Wednesday, authorities said.


The two pokédopes were chasing the virtual reality monsters using the "Pokemon Go" app, a smartphone game that puts an overlay on a user's surroundings. They ignored warning signs and crossed a fence bordering the edge of a beachside cliff, the San Diego County Sheriff's Department confirmed.


One man fell 75 to 100 feet before hitting the beach and catching a life guard's attention, Encinitas Fire Battalion Chief Robert Ford estimated. The other man fell about 50 feet before becoming stuck. That man was found unconscious [nbcsandiego.com], NBC San Diego reported.


"That's a significant fall," Ford said. First responders had to rappel from the top of the cliff to reach the trapped man.

So what if he makes 100k? Thats not that much money. He's going to pay taxes on it...he walks away with $70k. Does he go back to his great job of bar tending making $10/hr? The dude is basically screwed either way.

No doubt but that is why I stated he could make 5% of that.

Have you seen this man? A Pokemon Go Bandit strikes at the Greenlake Boathouse where a man and woman were playing the game. He snatched the woman's phone and when the man tried to get it back from the bandit, he got a whooping for his troubles. The Pokemon Bandit has been identified and police are asking for the public's help in locating him.

Great now we have to worry about Canadians infiltrating the USA! Unclesam

Two distracted Canadian teens wandered across the US border into Montana while playing Pokemon Go. They were detained briefly while their mother, who chose not to break the law, was called to come get them.

We were at Whole Foods this afternoon and the cashier was telling another employee he had racked up 7gb of data in one week of playing Pokemon Go. Crazy
