ABC News: Internet's Big 3 Hit on Gambling Ads
Microsoft, Google and Yahoo will set up a fund to air public service announcements informing young people that online gambling in the United States is illegal.

Gambling is illegal , unless it's a lottery , in  a state regulated casino or when it's positively encouraged and called the stock market.These PSA's are going to occur around the State lottery sponsored weather.

The MS quote about this being mutually beneficial beggars belief.   How is having money extorted from the stockholders  a win?  At which point did MS sign up to be a social worker for the web? Really I'd hazard that there's more families suffering from their parent's working long hours because the software they have to use gets in the way more than $50 or so spent a month online gambling.   It looks like the only addiction you can't break here with PSA's is your addiction to the State.
