Sex Offenders Banned From Playing Pokémon Go in New York

New York governor Andrew Cuomo has declared playing Pokémon Go a violation of a sex offender’s parole. Two state senators had their people prepare a report that claimed they found 57 Pokémon and 59 Pokéstops and gyms close to the registered locations of 100 registered sex offenders. Banning sex offenders from playing this specific online game is one thing, but Governor Cuomo went farther and banned offenders from playing any games similar to Pokémon Go. Cumo’s letter to the New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision reads:

At the Governor’s direction, DOCCS has imposed a new condition of parole for sex offenders under community supervision that will prohibit them from downloading, accessing, or otherwise engaging in any Internet enabled gaming activities, including Pokémon GO. The directive will apply to nearly 3,000 Level 1, 2 and 3 sex offenders currently on parole. The Department of Criminal Justice Services will additionally be providing guidance to county probation offices recommending the adoption of this policy.

What’s next for Pokémon Go? We’ve already seen that playing it could lead to falling off a cliff, finding a dead body, being hit by a car or being robbed.

Fox Fails Miserably On Chance To Honor Christina Grimmie At Teen Choice Awards 

The late Voice contestant and YouTube star Christina Grimmie won a Teen Choice Award over the weekend, but those that only watched the telecast weren’t informed of it. The whole screw-up is just mind-numbing. First, Fox was encouraging people to “retweet in honor of her memory” to vote for her for some fan-voted award called Choice Music Web Star. The tweet also tagged her personal account for some reason. Then, during the telecast Jessica Alba hosted a special segment on gun violence and called victims of several recent mass shootings onto the stage. There was no mention of Grimmie, who was killed in June by a crazy SOB (not a technical term) who should have never had a gun or gotten close to her. To top things off, Fox announced in a press release after the show that Grimmie had “won” the Choice Music Web Star award, something that was never mentioned on the actual broadcast.

How in the world do you screw something like this up so bad? It seriously boggles the mind.

Elon  Musk Buying From Elon Musk As Tesla Announces Plans To Buy SolarCity For $2.6 Billion

Tesla has announced plans to buy SolarCity for $2.6 billion. One company buying another in the same industry isn’t unique. It happens all of the time. The deal is a little strange as Tesla CEO Elon Musk is also the chairman of SolarCity and happens to be the biggest shareholder of each company. The CEO of SolarCity is Lyndon Rive, who happens to be Elon’s cousin.  The deal is an “all-stock transaction”, which basically means that Elon Musk is consolidating his shares. The deal’s paperwork includes a 45-day “go-shop” stipulation where SolarCity can see if anyone else will pay more for the company. That technicality strikes me as hilarious.
