Not surprisingly, the “Pokémon Go” phenomenon has managed to bring out the worst in some people.
Whether it’s crashing your car into a tree because you were busy playing the location-based augmented reality mobile game instead of driving or getting caught in a tree or…wait for it…falling off a cliff while trying to capture a rare Pokémon character, let’s just say it’s becoming pretty goddamn embarrassing.
And then there’s this guy:
Did you see what he did there? He substituted “Pokéballs” for the naughty word at the end of it.
Well, CTV reporter Sarah MacDonald didn’t think that made it OK, and she filed a complaint with Vancouver police afterward because the dude also caught her earpiece and “ripped it off her jacket and out of her ear” as he made his way off the set.
The man has since apologized, but Vancouver Police Sgt. Randy Fincham said he could still be subject to assault charges, which would be an embarrassing story this guy would be forced to tell every potential fast food employer as to why he checked the “Yes” box next to the part of the application where it asks if you have ever been convicted of a crime.
