2016 Honorable Mention: Pokemon Go, Going, Gone

Pokemon Go, Going, Gone
2016 Honorable Mention
Confirmed True by Darwin

(16 July 2016, California) Pokemon's unintended "Go Jump" mode is predicted to have a dwindling fan base. Two California men blindly followed app clues to a clue-less 75-to-100 foot cliff tumble in Encinitas on July 13. They both survived falling off the crumbling cliff--minor injuries only--missing a full DARWIN but marking themselves AT RISK. Speaking of mental laxity, this correspondent wonders what is wrong with the education system when investigators cannot figure out the height of a cliff.

Pokéman's fans are falling for the trending game.
Please note, "Go Jump" is satire, and considers individuals to be responsible for their own actions.

DARWIN AWARD FOR DECEASED IN DENMARK?
News Report: "Danish Pokemon hunter killed in traffic accident" alerts us to a delivery man driving a small van who was found dead in a vehicle wreck. The man's phone was still unlocked and running the Pokemon Go app, which caused local police to speculate that the game was a key player in the 21-year-old's death. "We cannot know for certain whether he was playing the game at the time of the accident, however, normally a phone will lock itself if it is not in use."
