Oxymoron Alert: Play Responsibly

The Florida Lottery radio commercial caught me off guard by adding in Buccaneers football details. Then I heard a phrase worthy of Oxymoron Alert: Play Responsibly. Trading hard earned, recession weary cash for a ticket with the odds worse than getting struck by a meteor needs a warning, but not that one. The act of buying these tickets is irresponsible, greed boosting and cheats education which it was touted to help.

To Play Responsibly is not to play at all. Or if you have the unquenchable urge to waste cash, use the 24/7 convenience of flushing money down the toilet.
