- 0xcafecafe 8y agoSeems like a satire to me, a joke similar to bonsai kitten.
- simias 8y agoI'm on the edge. Some of these definitely look like jokes (the "don't do drugs" targeted at athletes is an obvious one) but others are not so obvious. I wonder if it could be that they are serious about the service but they know that they risk some serious backlash so they add the "lighter" ones in order to have plausible deniability? "It's just a prank!" Take the "Play slots!" one, targeted at "High ARPU existing slot players", that doesn't seem particularly funny to me and it's oddly specific. This is also one that I can actually imagine working if they're somewhat addicted to gambling. But then again, humor is very subjective.
