Anyone ever see these anywhere other than their website?

Bump:

I just saw these for the first time- I laughed pretty hard at both.

Soo, nobody has seen these? (Assuming you're outside the US)

Are these running or going to run on American TV?

They used to be on CNBC. I don't think they are running anywhere right now.

Not excactly a target audience for fish. I would rather Fox News air them.

How could they advertise the .com site on CNBC or Fox News??

Just like any other legal business, purchase ad time.

If Fox News were really in the news business and not the "suck up to Republicans and fatten their own wallets" business they would accept those ads.

Despite the position of the Justice Dept. that on-line poker violates the Wire Act, it doesn't, and that accepting ads for Poker sites is aiding and abetting, it isn't.

As much as politicians love to bluster about other countries ignoring U.N. resolution, the U.S. has been utterly dismissive of the WTO ruling on this issue.

There is also that First Amendment thing.

But Fox News fears the Gestapo tactics of having those ad dollars siezed as was done to the Travel Channel.
