Oh I love the Youth gambling commercials and ads. Yes, because playing poker with your friends will make you smoke weed, shoot up heroin, drinking Jack Daniels (or it it Jim Bean, I cant tell), smoke more, go to jail and become a murderer. Man, poker seems worse than being gay.
Good lord. My Grandfather taught me to play draw and stud poker when I was 8 fucking years old. My eventually descent into the world of pot leaves, doobies, handguns and whiskey (still working on the needles and handcuffs) had nothing to do with learning poker hands and betting strategy while being regaled with stories of winning 3 months salary in a poker game while on a troop transport during WWII island hopping campaigns.
Indeed, if you don't now how this guilty money game is played, ask your Editorius Maximus there how he picked the sponsors for the Genius Awards. Same deal.
Don't ask about the tobacco ads. The Stranger's sales department is in a different building and The Supreme Editor has never even met them. But ask about the special event sponsors.
Cross purposes, but with a great deal of logic. Phillip Morris has to pretend that they're only marketing their product to adults, to individuals who are aware of the risks and mature enough to decide to become addicted to a deadly drug. Since they'd be a boutique industry without underage smokers, it's a grand lie.
The state is a bit better, since only a small number of people become problem gamblers. Otherwise, it's just a tax on the stupid.
That anti-smoking ad is hilariously bad. I'd love to have been in the design room when they were putting that one together. Did they acknowledge that it was a deliberate sabotage and laugh in unison like movie villains, or was it more of a surreal, emperor's new clothes type of scene?
In fact, there have been a number of recent national studies demonstrating that the ads funded by the tobacco industry actually are so laughably ineffective or insidiously underhanded that the net result is actually an INCREASE in youth smoking as a result of viewing these ads!

No, they're just doing what you guys do when you take oodles of tobacco advertising $$ and then rant about the evils of second-hand smoke.
It's called "Covering Your Ass", and the fact that you're not the only entity that does it really shouldn't surprise you in the least.
I love the bulge on the cowboy. Duds a fuckin' rock.

It may be a tax on the stupid, but it's the most regressive tax there is.
And the state shouldn't be taxing stupid people any more than anyone else.
This is absurd. Everyone knows you can't win at poker with 3 pair. Unless handcuffs are wild... wait, what fucking game are those teenagers playing?!
dominic's picture threads are a million times better than chaz's

The Marlboro Man has always provoked certain strong feelings in me that do not correspond in the least to my disgust at smoking. Where are my chaps?
I do believe that most hunky cowboys would have a wicked funk downstairs, though. Which is totally not cool.

Most kids are probably wondering where to get a sweet deck of cards, like in the picture.
Am I the only person who noticed that the kid is snowboarding on a giant matchstick?
I hate being addicted to these fucking cancer sticks.
"Is the state trying to be insidious, like Philip Morris, or is it working at cross purposes?"
cant it be both? and when did you stop torturing puppies?
