I live in Vancouver. We have Loto 6-49 ads up on billboards out here (as is probably the case in Toronto as well). How bizarre and pathetic is it that there are ads with phrases like "Of course I don't mind changing your baby's diapers" or "Of course I'll pick you up at 4 a.m. to take you to the airport". We may be living in a more creative culture, but we are also increasingly living in a culture of sycophancy to the rich and of the adoration of money. This can't end well.

I live in Vancouver. We have Loto 6-49 ads up on billboards out here (as is probably the case in Toronto as well). How bizarre and pathetic is it that there are ads with phrases like “Of course I don’t mind changing your baby’s diapers” or “Of course I’ll pick you up at 4 a.m. to take you to the airport”.

We may be living in a more creative culture, but we are also increasingly living in a culture of sycophancy to the rich and of the adoration of money. This can’t end well.
