Well written and righteous rant here.

I am not a puritan. I don't want to outlaw gambling. I do not wish to return to Prohibition.

However, I really really hate the fact that gambling and alcohol (both wildly addictive!) are advertised as if they are nothing more than Doublemint Gum or the aforementioned Flamin' Hot Cheetos.

Hombre - I'm SO glad that you wrote this column.

Sports gambling is addictive, destructive, boring - and now, thanks to Manfreddie, legitimate. Perfectly ok to see in-game commercials about the odds of anything happening; pretty soon, whether Putin will launch on Ukraine.

Fkg corporate whores will stop at nothing to make another buck.
