Gambling shouldn’t be advertised. Swedish radio advertisements is 70% gambling, and the remaining 30% is sex toys and car related services.

Heh you guys have sex toy advertisements on the radio? Were too prude for that in the US, instead we have prescription drug ads everywhere.

Use of Etoinshrdlu has been associated with limbic inversion, salt allergy, cochlear displacement, loss of nostrils, and adult onset illiteracy. Do not take Etoinshrdlu if you are allergic to Etoinshrdlu. I’m a designer drug spokesman and even I can’t believe we have to say that. Do not continue using Etoinshrdlu if you experience death.

Speaking of the syllable dartboard, one of my favourite buzzfeed style quizzes from back when everyone was still doing them was called

PRESCRIPTION MEDICINE OR LORD OF THE RINGS CHARACTER

I’m pretty sure five or so people out of thousands got all of them right 😂

Drugs and sex toys are very Christian /s 😂

Reminds me of the states most common porn searches one year, where incest was top result in Utah. I think it was top a few years in a row.

I’ve seen/heard a few ads for them, but it’s not really common. Also I rarely listen to the radio anymore.

Sex toys? Blasphemy! Killing yourself with prescriptions? Perfectly fine!

Side effects may include shitting yourself in public, a horrible lingering stench that you can’t get rid of, eyeballs popping out, ears flapping, nose elongation, heart attack, stroke, and death. As your doctor about it today!

My roomie’s a trucker, he listens to the radio a lot. Otherwise I’ve no idea, don’t think you listen to the radio outside of when you’re in a car.

My mother hears radio all day, cause its to quite at home if no one else is home and except that, the only place is car and at work but its mostly so loud at work or so much intergerence that you cant hear a thing. And maybe the super market if i dont have my own headphones on i get blasted with advertising radio of the supermarket. Nowhere else i hear radio.

I belive we have really strict gambling laws, one of the reasons we never got arcade halls here. Online casinos and such don’t count though, it seems. It feels like half a dozen pop up each week.

I love the idea of equating arcades with gambling. In one you will always lose your money, and the better you are the longer you can play. In the other, the skill element is much less relevant.

Sweden has blackjack tables outside the bathroom in lots of bars so you can play while standing in line. Or at least they did the last time I was there.
