Gambling ads usually are quite aggressive and TV, websites, bus stops, everywhere there were gambling ads. As are ads for just about everything. It isn't just the products they push. The ads themselves are toxic and are pervasively blighting our lives (and probably shortening our physical lifespans as well). Seriously these should all be drastically curbed all across the public (physical) sphere, as has already happened in some places (e.g. São Paulo). Some day, very far from now, when humanity finally realizes this -- we'll look at the saturation of advertisements in the 19th-21st centuries like we do on the haze of rampant air polution, pervasively contaminated water, horse manure (and dead horses clogging the streets) of bygone eras, today.
