HMDAWT: A Pokemon Gym Class?! Really?

From Hold My Drink And Watch This today the Fresno City College is offering a Pokemon Gym class this semester. It's a for-credit class that is basically you playing Pokemon Go. Coming from someone who took a class called Cartman vs Culture... that's crazy to me!

 

The Fresno Bee has the story:

 

"It is officially listed as a physical education course, PE-6 #25718 Walking. It offers one unit of transferable credit. The course will start in the second half of the fall semester, running 9-10:25 a.m. Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from Oct. 17 to Dec. 8.

Oliver Germond, the college’s women’s soccer coach, will teach the course.

“My dean approached me about it, and at first, I thought she was joking,” Germond said. “She explained it to me, and I agreed to teach it. It’s a fun way of making a fitness class work and attracting more students to physical fitness.”

 

Would you sign up for this?
