You know, I get that the ads are super sexual, and that parents are concerned. Like, your kids should be able to watch baseball.

But the thing I find most offensive is that she says, “No betting on wars. Or death.” Umm, yeah, I’d rather explain sex than that.

My brain has been incorrectly processing “or death” this whole time. It sounds to me like she’s saying “or ducks,” and 1) I knew that was incorrect, but 2) betting on ducks sounds like something I could legit get into

I had to rewatch it over 5 times to figure out what she was saying. She pronounces it really weird, like “duths”
