Internet casino buys piece of food in image of Jesus

August 16

Well, the Internet gambling site GoldenPalace.com is at it again. This time its a dumpling shaped and posing the likeness of Jesus himself.  GoldenPalace is an Internet casino known for its outrageous collection of interesting items it purchases off of the Internet's famed eBay.

Yesterday was no exception, the online casino bought the pirogi for $1,775. Monday's purchase is in line with such other media attention-grabbing stunts as last month's tattoo of GoldenPalace.com a woman plastered on her forehead for ten grand.

The seller of the Polish-style dumpling, Donna Lee, said the Jesus face appeared when she was cooking a batch of them for her family's Easter Dinner - yes she has been keeping it frozen ever since. The woman and her family live just outside Toledo, Ohio.

This new purchase makes some of us online casino gamblers wonder if Golden palace has a thing for religous looking food items or just plain publicity. By now, we should all understand the power of publicity. The online casino ends up with CNN news anchors chatting about it, and online players like us chatting about it.

Other extremely odds items that the Internet gambling site has purchased include a decade old grilled cheese sandwich with the liking of the Virgin Mary emblazoned on it, a Virgin Mary shaped pretzel where it appears she is cradling a baby, and of coarse there is the pregnancy test that is said to have belonged to ex-pop princess - Britney Spears.

Get this, the online casino has even put together a traveling showcase of the items. Maybe it will visit your town soon.
