    Apparently someone found a dead body in a river when searching for Pokemon.

    But yes, kids are getting exercise.

    Nintendo triumphed in a single day, where Michelle Obama had been failing for 8 years.

    Kinda wary. It only works on more modern iPhones, I think robbers will make good use of harvisting them because they know where people will show up. It would be a splendid idea in a perfect world, the idea is truly innovative but I see potential trouble. Did the corpse in the river play it as well? Worth considering. Places can be traps. There must have been someone saying 'ok this is brilliant, but is it really a good idea'

    DailyFail believes that robbers should be the least of our concerns.

    Honestly I believe that the dangers are overblown. Muggers and pedophiles always had great tools in their inventory. Two or three horrible cases might occur, but nothing big, IMHO.

    I love this but it's getting out of hand. I see literally every other person playing this walking somewhere. I heard they got pokestop around the White House and in the Pentagon with rare Pokemon.

    Sometimes it gets weird, I found one dancing next to me when I woke up, and I'm in a 7th floor wtf...

    Somebody posted on twitter about a jigglypuff leading them to a sketchy white van...
