*** Many people in Britain do consider gambling a social ill or at best, a guilty pleasure. [http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1557170/Gordon-Brown-scraps-super-casinos.html\] [http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/news/article-23403917-brown-kills-off-blairs-supercasino-plans.do\]{{Dead link}}
**** The objections to "super-casinos" wasn't to gambling per-se, but to it being an American-Las Vegas style of gambling which is unfamiliar in the UK where it would be possible to lose massive amounts of money. Most UK people will gamble casually in Bingo-Halls (the Mecca Bingo chain being the most common), Horse Racing, Dog Racing, Card Games (in pubs), the list is extensive, but consider almost every-town and village in the UK will have its own bookmakers and/or an arcade with one arm bandit machines.
** Of course, Marge is, among other things, in part a parody of so-old-fashioned-they're-not-even-quaint-but-just-weird American values, which isn't as much of a value dissonance as a case of cultural difference causing missed jokes.
