Ugh, local news

This morning there was a story on our local news about a gambling site that was recently busted for violating Washington state laws. It was some kind of betting site I'd never heard of.

So what do they show throughout the news coverage? Shots of Full Tilt! Eesh, people, get a clue....

People can be so dumb sometimes...the annoying thing is that the viewers will assume FT is some sheisty site now :/

Look at it another way. It will get the facts spread a bit further in the state of Washington, where I believe online poker is verbotten.

Yeah, exactly. My husband thought they were talking about Full Tilt and called me in. I was freaking out a little. We had to back up and watch it again to figure out that they were talking about some local site.

Actually, they clarified the law (Nick broke the news here - thanks, Nick!) and added wording to say it's OK for recreational purposes. They just don't want people running online gambling operations here. Thank goodness... I really don't want to move.
