US news anchor walks through colleague’s weather forecast while playing Pokémon Go

A US journalist has walked oblivious through a live broadcast, purportedly while playing augmented reality phone game, Pokemon Go.

Oblivious? Doubtful. Looks set up to me.

You couldn't have said it better. Do you know what did the main TV station did in my country? They faked a "magic trick incident" live to get views. It's so fake it makes you cringe: https://www.youtube.com/wat...

Of course already a dozen of "exposed" videos came after that, and I'm sure it's fake and staged. TV is dying slowly now, and it's just trying to grasp anything they can.

@Lordani66
That wasn't fake. Zwróć uwage na mine Kammela.

I work at a TV station and this would not happen unless it is staged or the anchor has a drug problem.

[thejigisup]

gotta be the drugs

[FamilyGuy]

Exactly, know one sober is that oblivious.

[LOL_WUT]

Publicity stunt IMO ;)

[StrawberryDiesel420]

It's soooo blatantly obvious and pathetic. Nice try at being "hip." Maybe she will walk in front of a dump truck next. I really hate it when people try so hard to be relevant. I blame social media.

[ccgr]

LOL!

[Relientk77]

This is great lol

[WelkinCole]

Everyone and their dog is cashing in on this.

I have walked around my parents neighborhood with my brother for the first time in 9 years yesterday because of this game

[Rivitur]

No way that's real

[Scatpants]

I'm assuming they were making a joke about the Pokemon craze.

[Fullmetalevolust]

I love that this game is getting kids out of their homes running around, had a bunch of them outside having a grand ole time. It was such a cool sight to see, reminded me of the old days when I used to run around with my friends (no mobile videogames then) and we'd be biking around.

[Neonridr]

yeah, when we were outside.. doing, you know, outside stuff :P

[Fullmetalevolust]

messin around with bees, chucking rocks at birds and kids we didn't like ( I'm jk...maybe not), going for a swim at the beach or lake or that rich kid's pool, playing sports and really suckin' at them (is it just me?). Don't get me wrong, video games were a huge part of my life, started with atari and armstrad (whatever it is called) then lord almighty the sega master system and NES came out and I had to be dragged outside.

[Perjoss]

what is this outside stuff you speak of?

[HallowedSoul1]

Don't forget about neighborhood cap gun fights.

[GrimmyReaper]

I hope she gets fired for that

[Kidmyst]

I started playing this the other day to see what all the hype was about, now I'm hooked and my Wife laughs at me. Of the 100's of games I've played, this is my first Pokemon game and this got me into it. I showed my 5 year old how to play and when we drive he sits in the back seat collecting Pokemons and stuff at Pokepoints saying "Daddy I got you 4 more Pokemon". But I tell him we are a team, fun to have a game we can both enjoy playing. Now I wonder if he'll want to go to the park by us to play on the playground or look for stuff.

[Scatpants]

It's such a brilliant strategy. Now when they release their next real Pokemon game it's going to be even more of a huge hit than normal from all the new fans brought in by this.

[s45gr32]

Gotta catch them all

[2cents]

Poke'bomb. Not photobomb

[kanyon]

lol

[Godmars290]

So how soon until there's a "Jurassic Park" or "West World" situation for Pokemon at this rate?

[Fist4achin]

Maybe she found a Pikachu hanging around his crotch!

[georgenancy]

Cant wait for this shite trend to end,i give it one more week before everyone moves on

[infamousinfolite]

This is Pokemon. The hype may not be this high down the road but it'll still be relevant with new updates and features and more articles about it down the road

[MagicBeanz]

Staged.

[qwerty676]

What others said

obviously staged is obvious.

[zb1ftw777]

You gotta be some kind of idiot if you dont think this is subliminal advertisement at its finest.

[LemyAtom]

Whether it's staged or not is irrelevant I think. Pokémon go is everywhere (EXCEPT THE UK #€2€×¥,).
