Approved for the use of Red Forman, instead of that dumbass.
Unfortunately his actor is also kinda ass. Idunno if trying to get a rapist a lighter sentence is worse than all the shit Chowder has done, but I’m fine with never seeing either of them again
Need someone to photoshop one with Dale Earnhardt.
sportsGambling shouldn’t be advertisedon tvFTFY
Gambling, alcohol, nicotine, and prescription medicine should all be banned from advertising. Sponsorship should count as advertising and thus be banned too.
They legalized online gambling and ads for it a couple of years ago in the Netherlands. It’s already causing problems with addiction. I personally think all ads for gambling and alcoholic beverages should be banned.
I have personally seen gambling fuck up way more lives than drugs, and this was before it was being shoved down our throats. It’s honestly disgusting how shameless the advertising has been, getting people to gamble like degenerates in “garbage time.” Or poking fun at people “losing their shirt” in Buffalo. And don’t even get me started at how they are using fantasy sports to get kids hooked early.
Fuck this so much. I know entire families - children, parents, grandparents - who’ve been put through hell over this.
Mississippi grind is an absolutely incredible depiction of just how sad and devastating gambling addictions are. I can’t recommend that movie enough (as long as you’re ready for some sad storytelling).
Livestream online gambling is another one of those absolutely abysmal modern exposures that is going to completely destroy the lives of young men as they grow up, and I can’t believe it’s still legal
In Lithuania it’s legal, but they cannot say any words like “let’s play” or “best casinos” etc. I don’t know specific, but most of casino/betting ads are like these (always with the weird/annoying voice)
NAME, casino!
NAME, casino!
NAME, casino!
NAME, casino!
NAME, casino!
I’m in Ontario Canada so it’s extra perverse that the government runs all the gaming and ads
Every bloody third advert on TV in Australia is a gambling ad, it’s insane that we continue to allow it given how much of an actual widespread problem it is here. They have fairly lame government mandated warnings after each one but I doubt they do much at all.
Same in the UK! When the pandemic started companies stopped advertising on TV because they weren’t doing business anymore, except for the bookies (gambling brokers) so almost every ad was for them. And because people are on doors and probably bored/miserable I bet they did much more business than normal.
I don’t think we have the warnings you’re talking about here, except for sone text on the screen that says something like “gamble smart” lol
I agree. Here in Sweden we’ve had a huge surge in online casino ads on TV for the last 5 years. Maybe even more. Super annoying. Everyone hates them. But not much is done despite that.
I wholeheartedly believe the vast majority of the hype surrounding sports is from gambling.
This should be the new meme format. The only way it could be any better is if the text on the mug said “dumb ass”.
