Gambling shouldn’t be advertised. Swedish radio advertisements is 70% gambling, and the remaining 30% is sex toys and car related services.
Interesting that all 3 will fuck you at some point tho
So that's how the air filter got in my rectum! Case closed boys.
Let's be honest, some of us could really use an air filter up there.
I don't think it'll stop ass gas
Definitely not, but it might make it less toxic for everyone else. Like a catalytic converter for your anus.
Oh my god. A butt plug that contains something that breaks down the fart smell. From what I can tell the stink component of farts (hydrogen sulfide) can react with a carbon catalyst and oxygen to produce elemental sulphur and water. So you just need a butt plug with an activated charcoal filter plus something to bind the sulphur to eliminate the smell. Even better, because your fart is passing through the chambers of the butt plug there will be no noise. So every fart will be silent and stinkless.
It's worth a try, depending on relative dimensions and lube supply 🤷
You mean... That's not what it's for?
It can be a little bit for that, as a treat.
Good reddit humor.
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.
nonspecific positive imagery and music
Ask your doctor about [results of syllable dartboard] today.
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 😂
Ask your doctor if Boromir is right for you.
Ever since I started taking Celeborn, my poops have been magnificent!
One does not simply walk in the pharmacy and demand drugs.
At least in germany its illegal to advertise prescription drugs
Same here in Denmark 🤜🤛
But we have a huge market for snake oil
Yep. I had a very bad cough years ago, and couldn't sleep. My doctor asked if I'm interested in homeopathy. I laughed so hard that I started coughing really violently, and walked home with a codeine prescription that helped me over that flu.
Ask your doctor if snake oil is right for you!
Y'all don't hear ads for stuff like Adam & Eve? Here in Texas we have ads for drugs and sex toys lol
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!
"i wonder why everyone hates watching ads"
Is listening to the radio still popular in Sweden or is it dying off like in the US?
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.
Everything okay, sweden?
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.
I legit never understood that one myself. I think it’s a mix of laws that make it infeasible.
Game machines are not allowed to be an establishments main source of income. This I think is targeted at gambling machines, slots and the like, because gambling is heavily regulated by the state, but naturally that also made arcades nigh impossible to run.
I believe there’s also some sort of law about the amount of such machines an establishment may have. Again, to prevent casino type establishments from existing. You can’t really run an arcade hall with two or three machines.
Then a more recent law enforces such machines to also give you a receipt? I dunno I didn’t read too closely, but I suppose machines of that kind don’t tend to have that sort of functionality meaning if you wanted to have an arcade hall here you’d need to custom order the machines.
It’s just not economically feasible.
And the most ridiculous thing is that while there’s not much in the way of physical gambling here, there are so many internet casinos I can’t properly convey how ridiculous it is. Like imagine an incredulous amount and it’s still more than that.
And the government is perfectly okay with that. They’re such incompetent buffoons.
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.
Yes, and my go to Chinese restaurant had two slot machines. They can have these things but they can’t be the primary income of the establishment.
Ergo no casinos or arcade halls, but blackjack at a bar is fine.
