No, I didn't see that one, but I think it's another government ploy to get the general public thinking it's bad to play poker.
Portraying it as: It's evil and will make you do dangerous things; i.e., taking drugs, excessive drinking, and so on down the evil list.
There must be another voting season coming up somewhere, or there's another bill about to be passed.
Just keep your eyes open for that one.
Why else would they publicize poker as being bad?
So when they do pass some law against poker, not many people will give it a second thought (poker's bad, so it's ok to pass a law against it

).
