Ads for gambling should be prohibited, just like those for tobacco and alcohol.
There was once a campaign going that had billboards like: no more cigarette ads? Next they ban ads for (some sausage) and i just thought: yeah, ban them too, and any other ad.
I assume these people exist, but who the fuck sees that and goes: NOT MY SAUSAGES!! Or: NOT MY ADS!
But without ads, our children and grandchildren will have no idea what to do when they have a structured settlement and they need cash now.
Yeah, I’m with you on that one, but I’m also realistic.
I get ya. One step at a time. I believe there’s value just saying these things out loud, getting it in the zeitgeist, helping people imagine the possibility.
I bet they won’t be.
Are you saying ads for tobacco and alcohol are prohibited on gas pumps? Because ads for alcohol are all over every advertising medium in existence.
Depends on where you are.
Where I am, alcohol, tobacco and gambling were all prohibited in advertisement, then gambling had a pass (because those making the laws are most likely in the pockets of gambling execs), but it looks like it will get prohibited again.
