Betting ads

william-hill_2792283b

Every fucking sports programme on the box these days is interrupted and peppered with bloody adverts encouraging people to gamble… Whether it’s that cartoon cockernee buffoon, Ray Winstone (“Bet Free Six Foive! Naaar!”), that shouty Italian commentator twat, or those cunts in sombreros with that crappy Beyoncé music. Then there’s the commercials for casinos, roulette, online poker, William Hill, and ever other bookie in Britain… It’s just total overkill…

So telly here in the UK is not allowed to advertise fags, cigars (those Hamlet ads were ace!) or baccy any more. Booze is hardly advertised these days (unless it’s some pretentious Guinness ad, a twatty Strongbow ad, or that funny looking Grouse thing at Xmas!). But it is perfectly acceptable to encourage people to bet, gamble and get into possible debt or even an addiction?!

Anthony Burgess said “They took away our opium, and they gave us beer and football”

A 2014 version could go like this:

“It’s now frowned upon to drink and smoke. But, hey, it’s OK to gamble… Give us all your money that way, and dig yourself a potential hole into the bargain!”

Pure working class screwing, hypocritical capitalist cuntery…

One thought on “Betting ads

  1. I might place a bet on those Tory cunts getting kicked out this time next year…
    The european elections turned into the Nigel Farage Show: When he’s just a cunt with a Monty Python name (Upper Class Twit Of The Year etc). Farage is as much of a European novelty act as that drag queen with the beard…

    Gabby Logan is a cunt… How this woman gets to present a football programme, I will never know. It is just wrong… Logan is diabolical, and she gives Lineker a run for his money in the ‘Football Presenter Cunt Of The Year’ competition…. Logan is also yet another tax dodging cunt (with other knobheads like Jimmy Carr and Gary ‘Royalist Tory Cunt’ Barlow etc)

    Seriously though: They’ll have Logan on MOTD on Saturday night next! And that female linseman is a pain in the arse. I saw her at Old Trafford and the way she shouted at a player of Van Persie’s standing: She kept barking “Careful!” over and over like a schoolteacher snapping at a kid (RVP should have told her to fuck off!). It’s funny, but one can never hear what the ref or linsemen are saying on MOTD highlights… But this silly cow could be heard wailing at RVP loud and clear, even on the telly…. God help her old man, that’s all I can say…

    Women officiating at top level football matches?! I fucking ask you….
