Gambling is inevitably going to become a larger problem as these ads become increasingly prevalent. All of this serves to introduce children to the concept early and to normalize it. One single ad is not going to make a 9-year-old child decide to start taking up gambling, but a few years of having gambling promoted at every opportunity will turn a lot of young people into addicts.

I assure you I am not pro-gambling ads but in this instance, as a parent I would be worried at the more immediate problem. He has a 3-year-old (around there).

How is a three year old going to be harmed by seeing a woman’s body? That kid was just recently staring down the barrel of a titty every single day.

You are comparing breastfeeding to seeing naked bodies on tv as a young kid? If you want that for your young kids, have at it. He and I disagree with you. (BTW, just like gambling, seeing sexualized content on tv too often, too early can lead to problems too but somehow me spending my morning posting studies is not going to make a difference to you so I’m not going to waste my time.). I agree with Alex on this one.
