First tobacco advertising was banned, now it seems alcohol ads might be banned too. Anyone else noticed the sudden influx and raise in quality of gambling ads? I guess they will have to start advertising prostitution after gambling is banned.

Could just be due to the Melbourne Cup (the gambling ads)

If you watched an NRL game on channel 9 this year you'll know they tell you the live odd a couple of times a game. Also a lot of NRL clubs have special websites set up with betting agencies. eg Bunnybet.com.au for Souths.

Piss brings in the $$$ for all major sports in AUS.

Australia is a country filled with alcoholic gamblers who visit prostitutes. This is well-known.

as opposed to most of the rest of the world?

I for one endorse more slutty prostitute ads.

In France you cant have Alcohol advertising on sports uniforms.
Its going to happen here too.

The Alcopops Tax was supposed to lower Alcohol Violence and Hospital admissions for Alcohol related injuries but its actually getting worse.
Therefore the government has to rescue the people by adding more Tax and reducing advertising of booze just like theyve done with Tobacco.

Now common sense would suggest that its time to Ban booze and Tobacco.
Or Legalize Pot.
Legalizing Pot will lower the problems of Alcohol.
Change is coming...

In Germany betting ads are every other ad. It's over-whelming.

yep, noticed that too.

yer ive noticed heaps more the last year or two. i said the same thing to the wife the other day.

the cricket and he nrl do it heaps.

i totally disagree with allowing the advertising if other destructive habbits arent allowed to be advertised.

gambling keeps the state governments from going broke, keep it up suckers!

The market should be free to advertise whatever it likes as people act as rational agents and will make the correct decisions over time.

tabacco > homegrown tabacco > alcohol > homebrew alcohol

WHAT NEXT, HOME BAKING? f***!

next is junk food

hopefully one day all advertisements on TV will be government endorsed messages. like in 1984. Tell us who to hate, that everything is ok, and to look out for nonconformists

The market should be free to advertise whatever it likes as people act as rational agents and will make the correct decisions over time.

people should be able to select their representatives by voting and have these people make decisions for them because people are rational agents that will make the correct decisions over time.

You want justice then do it by a jury with no financial interests in companies that want guilty convictions.

There is no court of justice today in existance that I am aware of only a court of commerce maintained by a judge who sits at a bench which in latin means bank.

Are you saying that politicians should govern for what the people ought to have and not what they want to have, socialist hippie scum, people should get what they want based on their perfectly rational opinions based on the the full facts which we know are available to everyone all the time.

i dunno what happened to gambling advertising

tbh i hate gambling, used to work at treasury as a dealer, saw people there 10hours a day, 7 days a week! mainly asians, but still, they're a type of person too...

now i just go in and put s*** on people who are gambling, ask them how much they've lost, tell them they're going to lose, compliment on their excellent roulette/blackjack selections while getting hammered on long island ice teas

What? I'm none of these.

Trauma is a Muslim?
