People, please don't hurt yourself playing 'Pokémon Go'

With so much bad stuff happening in the world, it's hardly a shock that Pokémon Go has become a humongous hit.

Sounds good, right?

But as the new mobile game has exploded across the United States, players are becoming so immersed in it that they're actually getting hurt and doing stupid, unsafe things.

And the Tennessee Highway Safety Office shared the below sign on Twitter, making sure you don't Pokémon-and-drive.

Also, don't go poking around police stations for PokéStops. That's probably not a good move.

Oh, and we haven't even gotten into the darker aspects of the game, like warning children of the dangers of interacting with strangers.

Lest we think this is only an American phenomenon, rest assured, Australia has had its issues, too.

Be safe, guys.
