Germany World Cup win causes recall of gambling ad: bet you didn't see that coming
Posted in: Uncategorized

The campaign is obviously meant to deter gambling, and in particular irresponsible gambling on the world cup – but then Germany ruined the whole thing by actually winning the world cup. As we say in Sweden “otippat!”
