2012 Olympics . . . Las Vegas?

I saw a commercial during the World Poker Tour advocating Poker being incorporated into the Olympics. I believe the pitch was, "If this [B&W pic of curdling] can be an Olympic Sport, so can poker." I personally don't believe gambling should be an olympic sport; what is the general consensus among 2+2ers?

My impression was that those commercials were made so full tilt could get their name on tv and circumvent regulations regarding advertising internet gambling.

these commercials bugged the hell out of me, my non poker playing friends brought it up and i almost jumped out of a window.

Im not even really convinced poker is a "sport", in the same fasion 9-ball isnt really a sport either. It certainly should not be included in the olympics.
