I think what you should actually want is better reading comprehension skills. 

I’m not saying that gambling is worse than nudity. I’m saying that an ad that features nudity is more likely to catch the attention of young children.

And nudity is a human experience. Gambling is not. Nudity is much easier to explain than gambling. I disagree with your premise completely. 8 year olds move on easily. Normalizing nudity much less of a big deal than normalizing gambling. And that 8 year old is getting indoctrinated whether he or she realizes it or not.

You are saying nudity is worse to have in ads than gambling, not to mention she is covered scantily so she isn't nude.

She is wearing sports equipment as clothes; isn't that funny? How hard is that to say.

And it's not even nudity but now its your reading comprehension that needs work. Nudity isn't allowed. She is covered.

So your entire argument is based on semantics..? Would it make you feel better if I said ‘hyper sexualization of the body’ instead of nudity?

Why is she dressed with sports equipment like that daddy?

"It's funny"

"Why isn't she covered more daddy?" "Some people like it."

'i still don't understand daddy" "you will when your are older"

Like grow up. Gambling destroys lives. "Nudity" is something you and I do every day. I know having to parent your child is a nightmare. Sexual acts creates families, gambling destroys families.

First of all, porn addiction and unhealthy sexual ideology is far more rampant in today’s society than gambling addictions. 

Secondly, that made up conversation is so far removed from reality that I have to assume you don’t actually have kids, thereby making this conversation moot.
