On a luckier note, I think I saw Sean Spicer catch a Tangela!

Yes, because your fictional book forbids such worship of animal.

I can't eyeroll hard enough and I was a Catholic (kind of still am but very very lapse).

LOL!!!

In mother russia pokemon go catches you!

Same church, huh? Maybe he was trying to catch Anastasia.

The most shocking thing about this story is that people are still playing Pokemon Go

The amount of active pokemon Go players is still very large. The thing is that people on average play it less frequently. Instead of something that's played every day last summer it's played 2 times a month this spring. The active user base has continued to grow after the winter ended.

Russis also banned an episode of The Simpsons which features Homer playing a Pokemon Go parody in church.

Am I missing something? Which part is inciting hatred?

And wtf is pussy gang or whatever that is?

On a positive note, he can be happy that he's in Russia and is just having a suspended sentence. In other countries, he would have been shot while playing Pokemon Go.

oh my, this is brutal.

Let's see who is the REAL asshole here:

1. Guy who makes fun of religious dogma and challenges oppressive religious laws.

2. Religious idiots and idiotic laws who sentence people to YEARS IN PRISON, for the above.

I know who I pick. Sorry but what he does is not at ALL assholish when laws such as these exist. Religious idiots who support these laws are the assholes.

If the country didn't have these laws, I might call him an ass-hole, though not for playing pokeman at church.

I don't get what you're so riled up over. The laws are absurd and they're all assholes, blogger included.

Huh, I guess I just never hear people talk about it anymore. None of my friends that used to play all the time are still into it.

The punishment being meted out over this seems a tad extreme.

Pogroms don't work if they don't go all the way.
