  • Have you ever been watching tv, but then an ad comes on?

    Oh duh, everyone see ads.

    But.

    Have you ever wondered why that ad came on?

    Who produced the ad. Was it targeted at this time and this show for demographic reasons?

    Seems normal to get a car insurance ad during the news. That’s broad appeal shit right. Most people in the US need a car to get around, so broad appeal car insurance ads play everywhere.

    What about this gambling as that plays next. Why is sports gambling being advertised during the football game? Wasn’t this stuff illegal like less than 20 years ago?

    I think there was some court case that said Internet handling is okay, or maybe it was up to the states to decide.

    If it’s up to the states to decide is there like just one lobby that could organize and just by volume out-compete anti gambling discussions. But it wouldn’t be that obvious. It would have to be framed like taxes on the gambling is good or some shit. Like, nevermind the billions siphoned off, your little state slush fund will get 20k in taxes lol, peasant.

    I read somewhere that state senators are regularly bought for less than $10k. Like some state senator got up during the meeting for WV and just started reading off the publically available donation numbers for people who sided with corporations on legislature and it was like $5k a pop to buy someone’s vote.

    Let’s see how many of you can stop yourself from replying to me without mentioning any of the points I brought up. This is a response to someone questioning what it’s like to have ADHD, remember?
