Shattered Sun

Living in Arizona, you see a lot of ads for Casinos and Lawyers. All of them seem to be aimed at people who don’t have the brightest of brains. But never in all the ads, have I seen the suggestion that gambling should be used to solve money woes. Apperantly in New Mexico, a local casino did just that and then pulled the ad finally. What type of idiotic person came up with the idea for that ad anyhow? And worse is, what the hell was the advertising department thinking by actually running it. It doesn’t take much intelligence to realize that by putting that ad out there, you were searching for the uneducated and gullable citizens. These are the same people who buy into Get Rich schemes on the internet. At some point they’ll realize that these don’t work but at what cost? I think the casino should be fined or somehow prevented from using such an obscure and dangerous ideal to up their sales.
