Ventura, among other celebrities, is now flakking for BetUS.com, an offshore online gambling site. As the NY Times notes today, Ventura may be putting himself in legal jeopardy. Online gambling may be a multi-billion dollar business--you may already have money down on this weekend's football games--but in the U.S., it's not technically legal.
Jesse tells the Times: "This is a step toward bringing something above-board that clearly many people want to partake in." A few weeks ago, he told the AP: "Bob Dole had the pills, Viagra. I prefer to endorse gaming--to each his own."
I don't know, Jesse. Sounds to me like you're lending a quasi-governmental stamp of approval to an illegal activity--one that many people find not only addictive, but financially ruinous.
