It blows my mind they don’t limit the amount of gambling ads. They’re rammed down your throat.
Again?
Why not next month?
I honestly cant remember the last time I saw an advert. All I watch are streaming services without adverts or YouTube premium.
I stayed in a hotel for work recently and turned the tv on for background noise. it was on Dave or one of those channels
Adverts came on at some point and I had legit flashbacks to my youth with 3 tv channels (I live in Wales so the 4th channel was S4C and that doesnt count)
I didnt take in the content of the adverts so I cant say what they were, but it was the whole break in the program, channel bumper, advert advert advert, channel bumper, program thing
I literally had flashbacks to sitting on the floor in front of the TV watching like Noel edmunds or something on a saturday evening
Anyway, im gonna eat so much McDonalds for dinner
The sooner we stop hearing that cockney wanker saying “ere at MacDonulds ” the better
Nanny state nanny state…whoop de fuckibg do dah.
That’s good because it might help tackle rising obesity rates.
Kids won’t be bombarded with ads for sugary snacks everywhere they look.
It pushes companies to promote healthier options instead.
People might make better choices if temptation isn’t shoved in their faces 24/7.
Overall, it’s a small step toward a healthier UK.
Also it would help if they made healthier foods cheaper!
The government realy thinks we’re dumb huh?
Can’t advertise a can of coke, but fuck me ram them free horse racing bets down everyone’s throat 24/7 that’s ok.
Far more damaging to younger people than having a Big Mac.
Gotta manage how them kids spend their hard earned money.
It’s astounding how the UK plans to regulate junk food ads but doesn’t seem to control the overwhelming number of gambling ads that are shoved our way. On a side note, why are they waiting until 2026 for this? Why not start next month, right? Anyway, let’s remember to keep our discussions respectful and hate-free, folks.
