I’d been dealing with one person over this ad placement, untill today when I get contacted by this other guy. At that point things strayed from what I’d been told originally. I asked for a ‘please explain’, out of that the age was divulged.
And where does this sit with me?
imo, on a moral/ethical stand point it’s wrong.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion, however, laws state (fact) that a 16 year old can’t gamble at Vegas for instance. As this kid is in the USA then the law of majority has to prevail.
Besides, I don’t know of any other Country where a 16 year old can gamble legally. Which also includes owning a gambling establishment, which by proxy that’s exactly what he’s doing.
Given the current climate of our industry & using the H.R.4777 for example, a gung ho poly would have a field day with this sort of knowledge. I’m going to refund the money and pull the ad b/cause in my mind it’s just not right.
Thanks everyone for expressing your thoughts
