Beyonce Fan FREAKS OUT Over Pokemon Go Player at Concert

What happens when the world’s most popular musician crosses path with the world’s most popular app?

One woman in France learned the hard and astonished way over the weekend.

Last Thursday, Beyonce brought her total and complete awesomeness to Stade de France.

But not everyone in attendance appreciated the artist.

While the beloved singer was on stage, one female attendee was seen playing the viral mobile game on her iPhone, angering a male fan seated behind her for two reasons:

1. This is a Beyonce concert. What are you doing?!?!?!?

2. Do you see where you are sitting?!?!?

There would be no excuse for playing Pokemon GO under any Beyonce-based circumstance.

But watch the following cell phone video and you’ll understand why this was particularly irritating. Look at this user’s seats!

A video posted by Anand Desai-Barochia (@ananddb) on Jul 22, 2016 at 1:12pm PDT

“This bitch is playing Pokémon when Beyoncé’s singing! F–king Pokémon!” the irate Beyhive member yells in a video shared on his Instagram account.

He captioned the post:

“She’s lucky Solange never saw her.”

This is a pretty great callback to when Solange flipped out on Jay Z in an elevator a couple years ago.

As the fan scrolls his camera across the Paris-area stadium above, he can’t help but note:

“Look at where she is. Look at where she is! She’s next to the stage. This is the stage, [and] the bitch is playing Pokémon!”

He makes a good point, doesn’t he?

Mere later, Beyonce is seen singing “Me, Myself and I” and strutting down the catwalk, causing this same fan to forget why he was so upset in the first place.

“Never showering again,” he wrote after touching Beyonce’s hand.

Sadly, a Beyonce concert isn’t the most inappropriate place someone has been caught playing Pokemon Go of late.

It will be hard for anyone to top the reporter who actually played the game during a press briefing on ISIS.

We really wish we were making that up.

There was also the person who walked right into a body of water:

Pokemon GO Player Walks Right Into Body of Water

And the journalist who walked right into her co-worker’s live report:

Weather Report Gets Interrupted by Pokemon Go Players

This game has got to go.

Reporter Caught Playing Pokémon GO During ISIS Press Briefing

We may have finally reached Peak Pokémon GO.

At least we sincerely hope so.

Earlier this week, a reporter was at the State Department getting an update on ISIS, the terrorist organization that has murdered countless innocent individuals around the world.

But this journalist thought there was something more important to focus on than whatever ISIS is up to these days.

And that something was… Pokémon GO.

Because of course it was.

The reporter, who has  not been identified, was caught by State Department spokesperson John Kirby.

While discussing real terrorists, Kirby noticed the reporter and asked…

After Kirby was finished with the briefing, he had to get one last jab in as well.

Because how could he not, right?

Was this the worst example yet of someone playing Pokemon Go at the wrong time?

It’s hard to even say.

There was the guy who got himself arrested because he was playing the game outside a police station.

And there were the people who were playing the game at a former Nazi concentration camp.

There was also the woman who questioned her entire life as a result of playing the game.

And, finally, there are these people below.

We hate to say it, but it’s almost as if ISIS has already won.

Wanted Man Arrested While Playing Pokemon Go Outside Police Station

Pokemon Go has been responsible for a number of injuries (below) and at least one existential crisis (also below) since it broke on to the national scene this summer.

And now it has also been responsible for an arrest.

Say hello to William Wilcox.

He was taken into custody on Thursday morning for an outstanding arrest warrant after authorities in Milford, Michigan saw him playing Pokemon Go outside of the station, which also serves as a Pokemon gym.

“He made our job much easier for us that day,” Milford Police Chief Thomas Lindberg told a Fox affiliate in Detroit.

Officers explained that the 24-year-old Wilcox was wearing pajama pants and standing near a flagpole when they recognized his face due to a rap sheet that includes a 2014 conviction for receiving stolen property.

Officials proceeded to look into their records and found out Wilcox was wanted on a misdemeanor warrant for a failure to appear on a breaking and entering charge.

As a result, Wilcox was taken into custody without incident just as he was attempting to catch a character at the flagpole.

“He either forgot that he had a warrant out for his arrest or was just ignoring it thinking nothing will happen,” Lindburg told WXYZ TV.

“I think he was more upset that he had to stop playing the game.”

On the bright side, the cops probably saved Wilcox from injury…

They also may have saved him from analyzing how his life has fallen apart in such a manner…

Pokemon GO Plunges 27-Year Old Into Existential Crisis

As hilarious as this story is, not every Pokemon Go story has prompted a room full of laughter.

Especially not any Pokemon Go story that involves people going to a Nazi concentration camp to play the game.

That is very uncool.

Florida Man Shoots At Teens Playing Pokemon Go: Find Out Why!

Pokemon Go is a craze that seems to be taking over the world. 

It’s crazy to think that before the app launched, Nintendo was pretty doomed. 

Now, with one app that allows players to go on the hunt for Pokemon, they’re becoming relevant again. 

Who’d have thought it? Not us. 

There are some major drawbacks to the game. You need to walk around in real time and that sort of means that the players aren’t paying attention to their surroundings. 

It’s getting people in a LOT of trouble. 

Just this weekend, a 37-year-old man shot at two teenagers outside his home in Florida. 

They were trying to catch some Pokemon. 

The man woke up at around 1:30 a.m and grabbed his gun. He headed outside to see what was going on. 

He was shocked to hear one of two teenagers saying, “Did you get anything?”

This probed the man to shoot at the teenagers because he thought they were robbing him. 

A mother of one of the teens grew concerned when she saw bullet holes in the car and contacted the police. 

She explained that the kids were playing Pokemon Go, but she obviously didn’t seem to understand that the man thought he was being robbed. 

Surely anyone would think they were being robbed if people rocked up to their property in the middle of the night and said what one of the teens said.

This really goes to show just how crazy the obsession with this app has become. 

To date, players of the game have found two dead bodies on their travels.

There was even a man who went under a train to catch one of the characters. 

Will this ever stop?

What do you think about Pokemon Go?

Is it time to rest the app?

Martin Shkreli Might Be Going to Jail, Loves Pokemon Go

If you spend any time at all on social media, you’re likely familiar with both Martin Shkreli and Pokemon Go.

The two out-of-left-field phenomena have little in common other than the fact that they’ve both done a surprising amount of damage and the Internet can’t seem to get enough of them.

Pokemon Go has resulted in a shocking number of injuries and existential crises, as well as a never-ending stream of frustrated social media users who don’t understand why their adult co-workers are engaging in serious arguments about Squirtles and Jiggly Puffs.

Shkreli has caused a similar uproar, but for a much more serious reason.

During his time as CEO of Turing Pharmaceuticals the so-called “Pharma Bro” jacked up the price on a potentially life-saving medication.

He also started a random feud with Ghostface Killah, despite the fact that most of us have been cautioned from a young age that the Wu Tang Clan ain’t nothin’ to f–k with.

Anyway, you’re probably wondering what Pikachu and the living incarnation of Millennial privilege could possibly have in common.

Well, it seems that like many others, Shkreli is a big, big Pokemon Go fanatic.

Unlike most, however, he might soon find it difficult to play the game thanks to a looming prison sentence.

Back in December, Shkreli was arrested on securities fraud charges after investigators alleged that he used stock from Turing to pay off debt from a hedge fund that he’d previously run into the ground. 

At an arraignment in Brooklyn yesterday, Shkreli threw his co-defendant under the bus by requesting a separate trial.

But the great part of this story is that a New York Daily News reporter claims that on his way out of the courtroom, Shkreli was heard to remark to his lawyer:

“Can I go play Pokemon go now?”

Yes, Shkreli has Charizards and Wartortles on the brain even as his future freedom hangs in the balance.

Fortunately, he’s not due back in court til June of 2017, so he’ll have plenty of time to catch ’em all before he’s ensnared himself.

Animal Shelter Dreams Up Pokemon Go Idea, Restores Faith In Humanity

Perhaps this game isn’t a complete waste of time, after all.

After reading that Pokemon go characters were located at places like Auschwitz and Arlington National Cemetery, it’s refreshing to learn that some people are putting the game to good use.

The Muncie Animal Shelter in Muncie, Indiana came up with the idea to enlist players to help walk dogs while they chase after gas-burping purple creatures and the like.

And so, every Tuesday Morning volunteers can take part in “Pokemon Dogs.”

The shelter’s director, Phil Peckinpaugh, told ABC News that he came up with the idea after watching his 6-year-old daughter, Ruthie and his 7-year-old nephew play the popular game.

“I started playing with Ruthie, and it was actually pretty fun,” Peckinpaugh said.

“Then the other day, while on my way to work, I noticed droves of young people walking around playing this game. I thought, ‘Wouldn’t it be great if all those people were walking with our dogs?"”

Peckinpaugh designed a flyer incorporating characters from the game and posted it to the shelter’s Facebook page.

So far, the ad has received over 27,000 shares and over 1,000 comments.

“There’s been an incredible response, and it’s just kind of taken off,” Peckinpaugh said. “We even had to go and buy more leashes this morning.”

Those who left comments on the Facebook post encouraged their local shelters to do the same.

“Wow! Very impressed with this idea!” One person wrote.  “What a great way to combine good fun with good citizenship!”

“IM DOING THIS ON FRIDAY” another wrote enthusiastically.

The hope, obviously, is that some of these volunteers will want to recruit the dogs as their Pokemon Go teammate/forever fur child.

“Maybe you even fall in love and come back and adopt that dog one day,” Peckinpaugh said.

9 Idiots Who Got Injured Playing Pokemon Go

Things are bad.  People are walking around, only paying attention to an animated character on their Smartphone.

Look up, fools!

Pokemon GO Player Walks Right Into Body of Water

Note to anyone playing Pokemon GO:

Stop playing Pokemon GO. Seriously.

But if you refuse to heed this piece of advice, at least follow the words of wisdom below:

Stop playing Pokemon GO while walking anywhere near a body of water.

In the following video, some dude is obsessed with this app, staring into his phone and talking to those around him.

He"s on the search for animated creatures that sort of exist in the real world (that"s the most in-depth understand we"re willing to have of Pokemon GO) when… oops!

He walks right into lots of wet stuff!

“Holy sh-t, I didn’t know that was water,” says the man. “That was funny.”

Sure, yes. Funny. That"s one word for it.

There was also this instance of a weatherman having his report interrupted by a colleague playing the game…

… and this admission by a 27-year old that Pokemon GO has caused her to question her entire life.

We can see how it can have that effect on people.

Watch this idiot walk into a lake now:

Pokemon Go Leads Players To Auschwitz, Humanity Is Doomed

Come on, guys.  

The new Pokemon Go game may be great at getting people to enjoy the great outdoors, but it also makes them act like total idiots.

According to New York Magazine, someone reported “a presence” of the mobile app in Auschwitz concentration camp in Poland.

Fearing that the grounds would be a new PokeStop, a spokesperson for the Auschwitz Memorial had to issue a statement asking everyone not to take part.

The presence of the game at the former camp was ‘absolutely inappropriate,” the statement read.

“Allowing such games to be active on the site of Auschwitz Memorial is disrespectful to the memory of the victims of the German Nazi concentration and extermination camp on many levels.”

The organizers had asked the app’s creators to “not to allow the site of Auschwitz Memorial and other similar sites to be included in the game.”

It gets even better.

Another player claimed that there was a PokeStop at the Holocaust Museum in Washington D.C.

Great!

Andy Hollinger, director of communications at the museum, stated that he and his team are “attempting to have the museum removed from the game.

“Technology can be an important learning tool, but this game falls far outside of our educational and memorial mission.” 

Wait, it gets worse.

The character found in the museum “excretes noxious gas,” which is…no.

The game, already available in Australia and the US, will soon be released in Europe.  

Considering that, many memorial organizations are already in touch with the app creators in order to avoid such shiteous things from happening go forward.

“After we were made aware that a number of historical markers on the grounds of former concentration camps in Germany had been added, we determined that they did not meet the spirit of our guidelines and began the process of removing them in Germany and elsewhere in Europe,” the company said in a statement.

Pokemon GO Plunges 27-Year Old Into Existential Crisis

Pokemon GO Plunges 27-Year Old Into Existential Crisis

Pokemon GO is making it impossible to live a normal life.

Just ask the weatherman in the following video, who was just trying to do his job recently when…

… yup, you guessed it: a colleague wandered through his live news report.

And also ask the young woman in the following video.

She starts out the self-filmed footage by explaining that she was initially really angry over Pokemon GO.

Why?

Because the app, which forces players to go into the real world in order to track down Pokemon (who appears to them on their phone screens at various locations), was causing upheaval at her workplace.

It"s unclear just where this woman works (Walmart?), but she makes it VERY clear in this video that there have been a number of disturbances there as a result of Pokemon GO.

We can only imagine.

It"s hard to do one"s job when random people keep walking all around you, trying to find confusing, animated creatures.

At first she attempted to resist the hype, but later decided to download the game to see what the fuss is about.

And then it was all over. Then she was screwed.

Then she was hooked on Pokemon GO herself, jetting from place to place in order to come out on top and wondering how she ended up there.

"I thought if I downloaded the game I could catch all the Pokemons in my work and people would stop coming to catch them," she says, "But that"s not how it works."

And now?

Well… now she finds herself obsessing over the game at all times, traveling from spot to spot in her quest to be the very, very best.

"This is just not where I saw myself at 27 years old," she confesses toward the end of the video.

We feel her pain. But we also want her to know the following:

It"s never too late to change.

Weather Report Gets Interrupted by Pokemon Go Players

We need to talk about Pokemon Go, people.

Like, we get it. We"re even all for it.

It’s free and it’s fun and it gets you outside and moving around, which is a lot more than we can say for plenty of other apps.

For those somehow unaware at this point, Pokemon Go uses your phone’s GPS and clock to actually detect where and when you are in the game.

It then makes Pokemon "appear" around you (on your phone screen, that is) so you can go and catch them.

The idea here is to encourage the user to move all around the real world in order to catch fake Pokemon, which is a bit confusing to those unfamiliar with the Pokemon universe.

But which is still pretty cool in concept.

Again: it"s an app that prompts people to get outside and exercise. Win, win.

But lines clearly needs to be drawn at some point.

Just ask the Florida weatherman featured in the video below.

He"s just trying to do his job, simply trying to tell viewers what to expect in the coming days, when a colleague wanders by, oblivious to her real-life surroundings because her eyes on locked on to her phone.

She just wants to find a few stupid Pokemon. Even during a live news report.

As if these poor people don"t have enough to deal with when spiders interrupt their segments.

Or when idiotic co-workers make sexist comments about sweaters.

Now they need to deal with adults on the lookout for Pokemon?!?

See what we mean below:

Pokemon Just Got Real

Z STAFF

Ash is going to be excited…because Pokemon is going to be a real thing.

Pokemon Go announced a new app for Android and iPhone where it will use real location information…pretty rad.
