If you live in Ontario, you are probably familiar with “Because anything can happen,” a series of Pro-Line commercials promoting the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation’s version of sports betting. In one ad, an entire football team falls suddenly lifeless after accidentally ingesting large amounts of muscle relaxants.

Yeah.

Youtube video of the commercial I reference. They are clever, even if they are oozing hypocrisy:

I live in Ontario and this commercial is old, also it's much shorter on TV, they cut a lot of those parts.

Excellent article Tanya. I couldn't agree more with what you state.

Can you imagine getting +400 on a 3 team parlay. Talk about a tax on the stupid.
