Re: Newsflash: Ban on internet-gambling advertising challenged
i had wondered about those TV ads. i guess the liquors aren't quite hard enough to be banned on TV. you don't see ads for Jack Daniels or Tangeray Gin or Absolute Vodka for example.
but you see the flavored rum and 'Disorono on the Rocks' etc etc.
i don't know much about it though.
the guys in Baton Rouge are disputing the legality of the DOJ's crackdown on internet-advertising primarily i believe.
google and yahoo both bowed to pressure to take internet-gambling ads off their sites and ads in magazines i think can be questioned also.
cardplayer probably doesn't care about the pressure and doesn't have a wide-enough circulation to draw the washington legal-sharks.
but i'm sure partypoker would love to place an ad in USA Today, ESPN-magazine, wherever....and as it stands now i'm not sure how easy that would be for them to do.
again - i'm only vaguely familiar with the issues so i some of my assumptions may be incorrect.
