> I do not gamble and I do not drink. Ain't no amount of playing the same damn ad...

so if you were chatting with a friend, and the topic of drinking or gambling came up, wouldn't this ad turn up as part of the conversation? wouldn't the image of the company/brand be on your mind, and so you'd speak about it? Even if you don't personally transact with the company, branding is hugely important to these companies that mainly produce a commodity, but differentiate using branding. Classic example is nike, or fashion labels.

If the advertisers desire me to shower their clients and products with profanity when they come up in conversation, then... touche they got me.
