Stop Gambling On TV

Minister of Social Causes (Animal Welfare) Laurette Onkelinckx

Hi everyone, this is a petition concerning all the call-games an horoscope adds on TV. People spend way to much money on this and I realize that people have every right to do whatever they want with their money, but I also believe that some people need to be protected from themselves. These shows are truly addictive to some people and TV producers shouldn't feed this addiction by broadcasting all these shows. There on morning, noon and night. I mean just today, there was some horoscope add on TV where you could call to that peson on TV and she would then lay some cards and told general things about your future. I heard a lady who called and you could tell just by listening to her, that she wasn't that bright. I really felt for her. So I thought about starting a petition about this issue. People often spend money that they don't have and with the fnancial crisis and all. Like I said, I don't want to meddle in anyone's business, but I do believe that some people need to be protected from themselves. So, please sign if you feel the same. Many thanks

Indeed,some people need to be protected from themselves and television is a very powerfull means in persuading and fooling people. They better use this time in raising funds for more noble goals as saving nature and saving poor animals !!!!

BOYCOTTING THE CHANNELS AND THE PROGRAMS WORK WELL FOR OURSELVES. However it would be best to not allow these people onto the TV Screen� They encourage nothingness with people, when we need everyone to take action daily� If they have the money, they can feel much better about themselves by not wasting it and giving it to an Animal Shelter in need of financial assistance, or an environmental grassroots organization that needs money to have their own campaignes on tv� We don�t see enough important things on tv as it is, so please help out the people who deserve help and spend your money making a change in this world for the better. For the Innocent, for the Animals, for the environment etc�. Games and Horoscopes on tv should not be allowed, we are bombarded with sales & marketing every half second anyway..

Like in the US these types of ads should not be playing in the daytime or in the evening, and probally not late night (I don't buy these ads)

I support this petition because I think we are flooded by these kind of commercials and it's a big problem for some people.

I am 100%ATHEIST. I PERSONALLY FEEL CONSULTING AN ASTROLOGER FOR ONE'S HOROSCOPE TOTALLY RIDICULOUS. NO ASTROLOGER,SAINT,PROPHET OR PRIEST CANNOT SEE ONE SECOND INTO ONE'S FUTURE. PLUS ALL ADVT.GAMES ON THE IDIOT BOX IS TO FOOL SOMEONE AND TAKE ADVANAGE OF THAT.
