I keep thinking I should download it to see what all the fuss is about, but then I remember I'm too old for that. Plus, as Zippy mentioned below, I don't want to be data mined any more than I already am.
The address of the Westboro Baptist Church got posted as a Pokemon Gym location where you can battle people in this game. Someone won there, put a Clefairy called "Loveislove" as the main Pokemon to defend it, and WBC lost their fucking minds.
(btw I haven't even played Pokemon Go but this story is too good)

It's a watered-down 1998 game with augmented reality tacked on as far as I can tell.
I have no idea what this means, but I accept your analysis that WBC got trolled pretty good.
Kids these days, always listening to the eBay…
I'm glad I'm not the only one…

Meanwhile, the Pokemon app datamined everyone's entire Gmail account when they signed in…
What, worse than Google does?
