Pokémon GO: rapidly reaching parody singularity.

Two headlines which caught my eye...

Pokemon GO 'is un-Islamic', Muslim cleric suggests

Warning: Pokémon GO Could Be A Death Sentence If You Are A Black Man

Bonus points for the first person to see the game being described as a gateway drug or claiming it reinforces gender stereotypes, and double bonus points for spotting the first article in The Daily Mailexpressgraph saying the main reason young people don't "get on the housing ladder" is because they waste too much time on it.
