Nearly every youtube video starts out with some lousy, flashy, annoying ad for some online gambling site. In addition if you want to watch ANY sporting event on TV you will be bombarded with this shit.

Folks, gambling is likely to be the single most damaging addiction out there. It will turn honest people into thieves and absolutely destroys thousands of families every year. Now all any addict has to do is pick up a phone and they can blow thru 100 grand in under 15 minutes with ease.

Regular TV is full of it too . Those Ceasar's commercials are annoying .

BIG peeve of mine - there are gas stations in New Mexico where you can buy lottery tickets at the pump.

OTA TV commercial breaks are filled almost entirely with on-line gambling, ambulance-chasing lawyer, drug, and Wu Flu "vaccine" adverts.

Don't forget the ads for vehicles that the dealers do not have.

We have had casinos since 1992. My kids would hear the jingle on the radio and quickly learned the lyrics that they would sing over and over again. They also copied those over the top NOLA commericials from Frankie and Johnnies. Gots to see the Special Man!! Save you money at the top of their lungs. They were taught at an early age that the casinos were in the Math business.

Kind of a coincidence that Michigan now allows online gambling and how fast it became legal all during the pandemic, eh? Nothing to do with the drop off in the tax revenue for the state?

I remember a TV interview with Senator Peters where he was questioned why the lottery was considered an essential business together with party stores during the state mandated shutdown and restrictions. We could not buy items like house paint in any store that had square footage larger than 50k in the name of slowing the transmission rates. But it was ok to stand in lines in close contact to buy lottery tickets at small party stores.

The party stores were cited as necessary in urban neighborhoods as many of them did sell food items. Guess chips, Twinkies and beef jerky were considered basic food groups by the state. And the lottery, well I cannot remember the exact wording he did say that the lottery was a revenue generator for the state.

Just looking out for the subjects, keeping them healthy for the revenue generated.

I think it’s an Amazon ad that is driving me nuts. Medusa. She buys some shades. Then at the bar a man just winks at this woman as in “hey what’s up”. Lady isn’t feeling it so Medusa takes the shades off, looks at him, and kills him, turning him into stone.

Now while I know this isn’t real. Flip the script though. Have some woman wink at a man, then he stones/kills her. Oh my Twatter would be up in flames in minutes and it’d be national news. Such hypocrisy.
