truth B told

I listen to a lot of talk radio. And on many of the Chicago and St. Louis stations they run many ads for the big river-boat casinos in the area.

The ads are full of life. They sound fun. It sounds like a no-brainer way to go out for an evening and have a great night of fun and excitement.

...until you hear that last sentence of each ad. "Gambling problem? Call 1-800-Gambler.

Then the light should click on for everyone. This must be dangerous territory. And it is.

Advertising has its way of making dangerous things look good. Beer, casinos, fast-food...it's all dangerous to the life, but looks so good in the commercials.

Be careful out there. Things may not be as good as they appear.
