I find this new commercial for Empire City Casino deeply unsettling for a number of reasons.

First of all, who thought it was a good idea to make an ad for the New York City metro area that included some giant thing flying through the air and crashing into buildings…

…attacking the power grid…

…and disabling the transit system?

Also, when was the last time you ever saw a white cabbie or fuzzy dice?

Furthermore, if this enormous (and from the sound of it, rubber) roulette ball is terrorizing the city, HOW TALL ARE THESE PEOPLE PLAYING ROULETTE IN EMPIRE CITY CASINO??? 

2000 feet tall, at least. 

Aaaaand, if you read the fine print, Empire City does not have roulette tables. They have roulette-based “lottery video games.”

In conclusion: What a shitty commercial!

I’m glad I made all these gif files. Definitely worth it.
