\u201cWe do not consider playing \u2018Pok\u00e9mon Go\u2019 to be appropriate decorum on the grounds of [Arlington National Cemetery]. We ask all visitors to refrain from such activity,\u201d the cemetery\u2019s Twitter account said Tuesday afternoon.<\/p>\n
The game, a mobile app called Pok\u00e9mon Go, was released July 6 and, like a fictional zombie apocalypse, has spread at an unprecedented rate. The premise is simple: The player\u2019s digital avatar has to collect Pok\u00e9mon, but to do so, the play has to explore the actual world as the virtual Pok\u00e9mon world has been overlaid atop it using Google Maps data.<\/p>\n
The mixture of real world locales and fictional creatures has led people to collect Pok\u00e9mon in places where playing a game might be inappropriate, including the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum and the former site of the Auschwitz concentration camp in Poland.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Because America just can’t grow up and act it’s age.<\/p>\n
