Jamie Foxx just told me it was easy and I could potentially make millions with just a single tap.
That'd be like seeing a fake ad for Desert Eagles absolutely tearing shit up and then at the bottom it just says If You Are A Potential Danger to Your Community With This Firearm call 1-800-GUNZ.

So obnoxious and insulting.

I always assumed it's mandatory for them to do so, like the surgeon generals warning on cigarettes etc

It's so they can say "oh you're addicted? Too bad bro we warned you, can't sue us".

Its this. Not every state requires them to have those warnings and in states where it is not required they do not.

If it was about babies we'd have universal maternal care. There would be no charge no matter how complex the delivery. But its not about babies, is it?

I should probably check that suicide booth on the corner to see if it has a suicide hotline on it

Either that, or someone did sue, and adding the gambling hotline shit was part of the settlement.

I hear it's a particularly difficult addiction to shake, fwiw.

Gambling is a legit addiction, it's not that much different from including a surgeon general's warning on cigarettes
