Do as we say….. December 27, 2006
While driving home tonight, I heard something on the news that made me almost choke. After being preached to about gambling and its immoral implications on society as a whole, Bermuda is going to host the Poker Championship Games! I really can’t make this stuff up!
Wow, how completely hypocritical! This after closing the various casino’s on the Island and locking people up.
I guess it’s ok for gambling to come here as long as it’s a televised event that brings prestige to the Island. On that note, I’m going to write to the Las Vegas Pole Dancing Organisation to see if they can hold their competition on a monthly basis here.
I’m also extremely worried that the ability to view actual adults on the TV enjoying a very sinful game of poker may prompt our youths into experimenting with card playing themselves, which of course will lead them down the slippery slope of debauchery. It all starts with solitaire on the computers, next crazy eights, then old maid (note the subtle sexual connotation the game implies) and shortly after is rummy (Even the name suggests it should be played with alcohol). Our innocent children end up getting into poker playing with matches. MATCHES! How many times have we warned children to never play with matches?!? These are the same “innocent” children who grow up, never able to break the habit that ruined their lives. You will see them in their twilight years, wondering what happened to their ruined lives while engaging in the worst form of filth there is….Canasta. Surely this must be stopped!
