Red Hawk Casino Ad


Red Hawk Casino Ad, originally uploaded by dumbeast.

TV: "They say that when a red hawk crosses the sky, it signals a great bla bla bla..."

[MUTE]

BB: Y'see, the purpose of this ad is to keep people like me from going to this casino.

MF: They don't need to do anything to keep you from going to their casino.

BB: Yeah. That's it. It's to show the people who want to go there that, when they're there, they won't have to worry about people like me being there. Bumming their trip.
