This was asked of the General after he commented in a thread about you stating that, "you were a legend and should be treated with respect".
While I agreed from everything I have heard about the length of time you have been doing this you are probably in fact some sort of internet legend by forum standards. Also I have no problem admitting that I personally like you even though I don't always get the punchline of some of your material, or for that matter even understand how you have the ability to hammer it out ever single day and attempt to keep it somewhat fresh. Liking someone doesn't mean you can't at times disagree with them. So the question I posed to the General that went unanswered I'll ask directly to you.
Should a so called legend or represenative, partner or unauthorized face of a gambling related business be glorifying the ills of being a degenerate gambler? While I agree making jokes about yourself or even others as having a problem is fair game, it seems that praising the addictive results that some gamblers ultimately go through is in bad taste.
We all have our opinions about whether or not gambling addiction is just an addiction or an actual disease. What we can all agree on though that it can become an addiction and that it can lead to drastict measures to as you call it "stay in the game". Vegas puts out commercials supporting help groups for those that take it too far. Bogus as they may be, because we can be pretty safe in assuming Vegas could careless who goes too far or not as long as they make theirs. Still they put forth the facade of concern. So what kind of message does it send for SBR and it's related intrest from a public relations standpoint for you to praise the degenerate lifestyle of young kids who beg, borrow or steal money to "stay in the game"?
Your move champ.
