Public Sex Epidemic In Local Park Blamed On Pokémon Go?

Since being released earlier this July, Pokémon Go has become a full-fledged cultural phenomenon. The augmented reality game lets players explore their surroundings while staring at their phones waiting for cartoon animals to appear and be collected. In the first hour after it was released the game was downloaded millions of times, giving birth to a media sensation.

However by encouraging players to go outside the game was responsible for luring sedentary young people out of their rooms and into public landmarks like malls and parks- at which point they proceeded to engage in recreational drugs and sex.

Wait, what?

Like most things that are new and exciting, Pokémon Go has upset a lot of prudes. Once serene places where they walked their dogs are now filled with hordes of youths, eyes glued to their phones, laughing and socializing with other players. Clearly we can blame all of the world’s problems on it.

Residents of the area around Allington Park in Kent, England claim a rise of drug use and public sex on the green is directly linked to the popular video game. They believe that drug paraphernalia they have found on the grounds were left directly by Pokémon players.

Park goers are also convinced that the influx of people seeking rare Pokémon is responsible for public sex acts that have been reported. Well shit. If this is true I might have to reinstall the game.

Regardless of what brought these ne’er-do-wells to Allington Park, littering a public area with bongs and dime bags is not acceptable behavior. Also if you insist on having sex in a park, have the decency to wait until nightfall. It’s the little gestures that make a difference.

The people making these complaints to the police have also considered asking Nintendo to remove Pokéstops, or places of interest within the game, from the park. That’s the kind of solution the villain from an 80s movie would come up with.

For their part, police have responded to these concerns by patrolling the park, though they have not found any evidence of drug use or public sex.
