Pokemon interrupts State Department briefing

State Department Spokesman John Kirby paused while reading a statement during his daily briefing to call out a reporter playing Pokemon Go.

He endorses Nintendo because his name is Kirby.

"Did you get one? Cause it's the last one you'll be able to catch before you're fired."

[georgilito]

lol that tone in his voice though, dude is getting fired

[nazsmith]

When you're reporting about ISIS but you gotta catch 'em all

[dusan]

I can't read Kirby. Is he raging inside and destroyed the guy passively or is he joking around?

[allendoesstuff]

I only came to see the dragonite ._. Ive been fed lies

[jarrodpeterson]

Advertisement for Nintendo? It's difficult to contain the smiles when you're catching 'em all.

0:29 If you don't listen carefully I think he said "to defeat Ash" :o

[zachwatkins]

Terrible, guy didn't even deny it. No shame. Should be fired.

[paulmuti]

Disrespect in the highest level, he should get fired

While a game is irrelevant, you are missing the big picture. Developers are you seeing the possibilities of actually what this could be used for?

[flaviotakahashi]

Did u get one? No The signal is not good. Lol

[arminnowrouzi]

I don't know whether to laugh or be appalled. :/

[buunzee]
