So, wouldn’t it stink to be a third-tier celebrity, well passed your prime when you finally get a sweet six-figure endorsement deal that’ll enable you to live some of the good life you once had, only to have it completely backfire and put you in jail? Well, that’s what big important newspaper the New York Times is suggesting could happen to some of the celebrities who do promotional work for online sportsbooks. According to the Times, shill-sters like Tom Arnold, Jesse Ventura, and Brooke Burke could end up in the clink. Not surprisingly, the feds considers these Internet sports books to be violating American law by providing unlicensed gambling on domestic shores.

And here’s a troubling fact—“the government has said in the past that it could prosecute Americans who promote and assist such foreign operations for effectively aiding and abetting their illegal activities.”

Hmm. That would really suck if we end up going to jail for this stupid fucking blog. Honestly. Anyway…click on Bodog.com(NOT A GAMBLING SITE)!
