ANGRY ANDERSON Slammed For ROSE TATTOO Poker Machine

August 17, 2009

News.com.au reports that Angry Anderson of legendary Australian rockers ROSE TATTOO has struck up a deal with the Australian poker machine maker Aristocrat Leisure to allow his image to be used to create a ROSE TATTOO-themed machine.

The former wildman, famous for his all over tattoos, has become better known in recent times for his charitable works over the past 20 years than for fronting the famous rock band itself.

However, anti-gambling senator Nick Xenophon said Anderson's decision to allow the machine to show his photo was "a mistake he should back away from."

"Putting his name on a poker machine is quite different to endorsing a T-shirt or a soft drink," he said. "Angry should have stuck to helping disadvantaged people. Now he is helping people to become disadvantaged."
