Advertising shits in your brain.

In most contexts we should simply get rid of it.

It is illegal in some states. You should only be able to advertise things that are legal.

I don't understand the reasoning of gambling being legal, but advertising it illegal. Advertising isn't the "bad" part.

I mean, everything that’s better than your average real life can be addictive. Should games not be advertised because some people are addicted? Should phones not be advertised because they have negative implications for your health?

I’m not particularly in favor of gambling ads, but where exactly would you draw the line?
