Back to betting. The Raiders are shortening for the wooden spoon on this crap they are dishing up.

You seem to know a fair bit about this stuff and have done your research, anything you'd like to share with the class ?

Sorry to disappoint you mate but I'm in a traditional heterosexual relationship.

Not disappointed at all, but pass on my commiserations to the other unfortunate party mentioned

What? Like the one reported on Page 5 of today's Sunday Mail?

If advertising does not have any impact on consumer behaviour why do companies spend so much money on it?

Because advertising companies advertise?

True it does keep me in a job but there has to be some impact

 

[Matabele]

That's a circular argument.

You sound like one of my clients

Put it this way

When we run an effective advertising campaign (which does not happen all the time!) we see, on average, an increase in sales from 5 - 30%

I would argue that the Waterhouse spots are not overly effective however you would think there is some increase in his sales. The question for is.....is this part of an existing market i.e. taken from TAB etc or is it new customers

If you think it is new customers then you can see why people will argue that this is not good for the greater good

Oh I'm with you Isz. Who'd even heard of the cretin 3 years ago, let alone use his dubious services.

If there is a market for it, people have a right to sell it.

Same as alcohol and tobacco companies should have the right to advertise when and where they like. It's a legal product.

Is a pie shop owner a cretin for making people obese? Is a preist a cretin(not for banging kids) but for holding church services and stopping people from excercising sunday mornings therefore aiding heart disease?

I get it. If they're not feeding the poor or curing cancer, they're no good to you.

No, the government is out of line. All these things that are "killing us" are legal.

Getting off topic a bit here, but look at Nicotine patches/lozenges,chewy etc... It costs a fortune and tobacco is the biggest killer, yet methadone is virtually free.

If the government taxed heroin, god help the recovering smackies.
