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.
who tf gambles on sport (probably why they are advertising on tv)
Lots of people. Probably the same people that play Fantasy Football.
People will literally gamble on anything.
Bet.
wait no
Fantasy football is literally a 20 year plan to create a childhood gambling pipeline, which they finally pulled off with the recent rounds of regulatory capture.
Apparently it’s been a thing since the 50s, I only remember hearing about it about 15 years ago.
Gambling on sports is one of the oldest types of gambling.
And, look. If you have the cash to spare, and gambling isnt a vice for you, it is kinda fun. Thats kinda the problem, its easy for the average person to get into it with some friends as a way to have more fun watching the game only for that to be the first domino.
Poor people
“Bet $5 get $250 in free bets if you lose!”
Shit is predatory as hell and is trying to get folks addicted.
their main competitor is casinos that absolutely destroy them in marketshare
that absolutely destroy them in marketshare
For now. The gap is shrinking YoY at an alarming rate. Sports gambling has been growing over 10% annually for a few years now.
I feel like alot of em are casinos, Ceasars Sports book and Bet MGM come to mind.
Wait, that sounds like a pretty sweet deal…
It is an unbelievably massive, multi-billion dollar industry that is only growing in the US right now. A number of states have relaxed their laws about online gambling and sports books, we are going to see a whole new generation of addicts. Every single fraternity at American universities has a point person at this stage. Many did prior they just did it on the sly.
Caesars Sportsbook just bought the sponsorship for the NFL stadium out from Mercedes in my city. You cannot go a quarter-mile without seeing a billboard about it. YouTube is flooded with it if it detects I’m in my home state. It’s relentless now. And if it’s not Caesar’s palace bombing me with ads, it’s draft kings.
sportsGambling shouldn’t be advertisedon tvFTFY
Hey we have a law for that in our country. There are some exceptions but those have to be individually permitted.
That being said fantasy sports bets and some other gambling games try to dodge the classification as a gambling game.
everything shouldn’t be advertised*
ftfy
There should be one specific place where advertisements are allowed and contained. If you need X, go to the X page on the one place for advertising and check out your options. No more shoving things people don’t need down their throats. Make people seek out the things they need rather than be convinced they need what they don’t.
I’m okay with advertisements in things like television. Ad supported media is one thing, ad supported real estate needs to burn to the ground
That’s the yellow pages
I actually don’t (well, didn’t) mind advertising, to an extent.
I liked seeing what new products or services are out there, or deals I may have not known about otherwise; but advertisers have taken it so far that you can’t have a reasonable amount anymore. You either block it all or get bombarded relentlessly.
I wouldn’t even use an ad blocker if the ads weren’t disrupting the content I’m actually here to see. YouTube for example was fine when it just had banner ads around the video player; as soon as they started forcing you to watch video ads to be able to watch the actual video you came there for is when it became a problem to me.
Gave em an inch and they took a mile. Now they get nothing.
I mean, everything that’s better than your average real life can be addictive. Should games not be advertised because some people are addicted? Should phones not be advertised because they have negative implications for your health?
I’m not particularly in favor of gambling ads, but where exactly would you draw the line?
At gabling ads.
Yep and as someone who watches a lot of sports I would love to see those ads banned. Also ban the pre-game odds shows and the in game odds updates.
100% its so cringe, im ok with the fantasy aspect of it, cause it does take some skill, but the odds are just straight up gambling no if ands or buts. I dont know how gamblers in recovery even watch sports anymore… so glad i got addicted to gambling on stocks with wallstreets bets and learned my expensive lesson so that sports can stay pure for me and not tainted by my addictive personality.
Anything can be addictive, puritan.
Death? Dividing by zero? Jaywalking to Pluto?
Once you are dead, you are so addicted to it that you do nothing else.
Gambling shouldn’t be advertised. Swedish radio advertisements is 70% gambling, and the remaining 30% is sex toys and car related services.
Everything okay, sweden?
I belive we have really strict gambling laws, one of the reasons we never got arcade halls here. Online casinos and such don’t count though, it seems. It feels like half a dozen pop up each week.
Sweden has blackjack tables outside the bathroom in lots of bars so you can play while standing in line. Or at least they did the last time I was there.
Yes, and my go to Chinese restaurant had two slot machines. They can have these things but they can’t be the primary income of the establishment.
Ergo no casinos or arcade halls, but blackjack at a bar is fine.
Is listening to the radio still popular in Sweden or is it dying off like in the US?
My roomie’s a trucker, he listens to the radio a lot. Otherwise I’ve no idea, don’t think you listen to the radio outside of when you’re in a car.
“i wonder why everyone hates watching ads”
Interesting that all 3 will fuck you at some point tho
So that’s how the air filter got in my rectum! Case closed boys.
You mean… That’s not what it’s for?
It can be a little bit for that, as a treat.
Let’s be honest, some of us could really use an air filter up there.
I don’t think it’ll stop ass gas
It’s worth a try, depending on relative dimensions and lube supply 🤷
Definitely not, but it might make it less toxic for everyone else. Like a catalytic converter for your anus.
Oh my god. A butt plug that contains something that breaks down the fart smell. From what I can tell the stink component of farts (hydrogen sulfide) can react with a carbon catalyst and oxygen to produce elemental sulphur and water. So you just need a butt plug with an activated charcoal filter plus something to bind the sulphur to eliminate the smell. Even better, because your fart is passing through the chambers of the butt plug there will be no noise. So every fart will be silent and stinkless.
Heh you guys have sex toy advertisements on the radio? Were too prude for that in the US, instead we have prescription drug ads everywhere.
Y’all don’t hear ads for stuff like Adam & Eve? Here in Texas we have ads for drugs and sex toys lol
I’ve seen/heard a few ads for them, but it’s not really common. Also I rarely listen to the radio anymore.
Drugs and sex toys are very Christian /s 😂
Reminds me of the states most common porn searches one year, where incest was top result in Utah. I think it was top a few years in a row.
nonspecific positive imagery and music
Ask your doctor about [results of syllable dartboard] today.
Speaking of the syllable dartboard, one of my favourite buzzfeed style quizzes from back when everyone was still doing them was called
PRESCRIPTION MEDICINE OR LORD OF THE RINGS CHARACTER
I’m pretty sure five or so people out of thousands got all of them right 😂
Ask your doctor if Boromir is right for you.
Ever since I started taking Celeborn, my poops have been magnificent!
One does not simply walk in the pharmacy and demand drugs.
Use of Etoinshrdlu has been associated with limbic inversion, salt allergy, cochlear displacement, loss of nostrils, and adult onset illiteracy. Do not take Etoinshrdlu if you are allergic to Etoinshrdlu. I’m a designer drug spokesman and even I can’t believe we have to say that. Do not continue using Etoinshrdlu if you experience death.
My favorite is, “dont take insert drug name if you are allergic to insert drug name”
They do that to make the list long enough that you tune it out. They have to list the downsides , and are only able to mention benefits that have been proven to help with approved uses.
They don’t have to communicate the actual likelihood of the risks or benefits, or communicate the risks in a way that conveys their gravity.So they can leave out the part where most insomnia medication only gets you 15 more minutes of sleep, and lump the 75% chance it’ll leave you so groggy the next day you can’t drive a car in with “if you’re allergic to it, taking it is bad”.
Because you were warned. “Most people will experience improved sleep duration. May cause lingering fatigue. Do not take if you are allergic to it”.
In Finland gambling/slot machines/betting is monopoly from state and it is not allowed to be advertised. It is age controlled and all the money from the gambling go to charity/tax, and gambling addiction control.
I do like that system, even if it sometimes feels bit controlling people from theirself.
“controlling people from theirself” also prevents them from drunk driving and killing others.
My dumbass state just allowed it and it is polluting every advertisement route. It is deeply frustrating seeing this happen.
The worst are podcast ads. It’s like 30% “you can win $100 on a $10 bet with promo code xyz” and 70% disclaimers and gambling addiction hotline numbers.
Damn I listen to a LOT of podcasts and I’ve heard a ton of annoying ads but none for gambling. I must be doing it right.
At least those are usually clearly marked and easy to skip in a halfway decent podcast player like Pocket Casts, though…
Or I’ll put my foot up your ass!
If we ban betting on sports, they’ll just move betting to some other random indeterminate outcome. Like…which industries and markets are going to perform better than others month by month.
There’s a website kalshi, where you can even bet on the weather.
Woah woah woah, lets not get crazy, no one is trying to ban gambling! Just advertising it.
Whooo, thats a close one eh? Ban gambling. Ha! Whats next, ban cocaine?
Edit his mug so it doesn’t have that Nazis name on it. Maybe have it say boot or dumbass lol
It is illegal in some states. You should only be able to advertise things that are legal.
Not sure you should even be allowed to advertise legal things except in very specific cases. It’s an incredibly toxic industry that is doing a shitload of the heavy lifting of corporations destroying the world…
Advertising shits in your brain.
In most contexts we should simply get rid of it.
