I felt fine in the respect that a gambling website wasn't using the name of a legend to still push its warez.
JAXX still gets advertised, but phils name ropes the kids in.
Yes, I'm aware they are making a donation(how big or small it doesnt say) to the PO'D trust, but whats wrong with leaving it blank like they do in france if a sponsor doesnt sit well with them?
Why not invest in another smaller sponsor?
Why still push a gambling websites advertising, guised as a "tribute" to Phil, onto these tops and these kids?
Because it makes them money. Bottom line.
For the greater good, it is not.
It's to line pockets and keep the advertising campaign, something, I'm willing to bet was given little thought.
RE: Jinky top/TB stuff - I wouldn't purchase one myself mind, I'd rather make my own, or have my own tribute to the guy.
I must say, I think celtic PLC board attemtping to make any kind of money off of the death of TB or Jinky or anybody is pretty crap, and a total poor show but ive literally no idea how that was worked (all profits to a certain organisation or if they took a cut, and if it was the latter, i wouldnt be totally suprised)
