VCPoker.com busts on saucy ad campaign

Fraser

Shocking 

I saw this poster in the pub on Saturday and was genuinely shocked, I was actually going to complain myself. Just what the hell did they think they were doing? I can't see how anyone could have possilby thought that this is an acceptable advert.

If they had an advertising agency, I presume they aren't using the same one any more, if it was internal - and this does suggest internal advertising - I hope someone has been sacked.

Also, when did advertising gambling at all become legal?

The Truth 

"and that the more money they had, the greater the likelihood of sexual success"

Maybe if they lose, but the advert states winning not losing, so they would get more sex i reckon.

Mike Knowles

Piccies? 

Clearly, this report is useless without pictures ;-)

Title 

Well there's a gigantic potser or Ronny O'sullivan advertising a gambling website with a roulette wheel next to him saying ' i take red, black red black red black red black' etc.

so i guess it is legal and the fact that A LOT of football clubs are now sponsored by online gambling sites

Scott Fawcett

Hows this different from... 

The Lynx deodorant series of adverts promising me hot women if i use it?

Field Marshall Watkins

No Biggie. 

Don't see what the issue is, unless it's the PC brigade being upset with the line:

"You love sex. She loves sex. You love money. She loves money. You have money. She loves you."

Which is true anyway. Most guys know that a woman's love for men is directly proportionate (being exponential near the peak) to the man's net assets. :-)
