“Ah here we fu**ing go again.”
The world has become obsessed with Pokémon Go in recent weeks and Ireland hasn’t escaped the craze. If you don’t believe us, just look at this footage from Dublin at the weekend.
While there are many who have embraced the Pokémon Go phenomenon in these parts, there are also plenty of people who can’t for the life of them understand its appeal.
If the members of the Pokémon Go backlash brigade are looking for a leader, then they may well have found one in this man from Dublin 8, who expressed what many were thinking in a rant captured on camera by his daughter Amanda and son Sean.
Lamenting the fact that the game has turned the millions who play it into “zombies” and “slaves to the system”, his rant is rather eloquently summed up in the line below.
“I haven’t got time to worry about the world ending, poor old Pokémon I have to fu**ing catch.”
