“Better odds than the casino baby”

    I generally wouldn’t put this sort of thing on the blog, but I drive or walk by this billboard regularly and it bugs me. It’s for Mints, an “adult entertainment club” on Main Street. The part that bugs me is the line at the top of the billboard:

    Better Odds Than The Casino Baby

    What does that mean? Of course I know what it is supposed to mean, but I still think it is dumb. You have better odds that you’ll run into a woman who has no interest in you? Better odds that you will lose even more money than at the casino? Better odds that you won’t see the woman on the billboard? Better odds that your wife/girlfriend won’t let you go? Better odds that you won’t take your kids in?

    Niagara Falls has several of these places, and they all seem to have billboards right near family-friendly destinations. As you can see in this billboard, it is right above another billboard for the Rainforest Cafe and their free shark exhibit.
