Pokémon GO has turned us into zombies.

Check out this footage from Central Park in New York City on Sunday. I count at least eight people absolutely glued to their phones, and three clearly walking around for a squirtle.

• Pokemon Go are popping up in stadiums all over the country

This is actually stunning. You couldn’t get these folks to look up if you told them they were about to walk across a pit of hot coals, which they would likely do just to toss a Pokéball.

How long will it be until I have to stop bumping into mindless Pokémon GO players while walking to work?
