March 9 - Yup, you read the headline correctly. Online casino, GoldenPalace.com
has bought a tree off online auction website eBay that supposedly bears the
resemblance of the Virgen De Guadalupe, for a mere $5000.
The controversial online casino, that makes the news as often for its outrageous purchases and publicity stunts as for its merit as a top online gambling
destination, has added the 'Religious Virgin Tree' to its collection of religious items that include
the
Virgin Mary toasted sandwich and the Virgin Mary chip.
However, the good news (particularly for all you tree huggers out there) is that
the tree is still very much alive and kicking and, despite its recent fame and
glory, has remained firmly grounded and close to its roots at its current home in South
Dallas.
The tree has become something of a religious shrine in the area and as such has
attracts thousands of religious folk and pilgrims from the state and beyond, who
leave gifts
in the form of rosary beads, candles and bottles of holy water.
Said Golden Palace Casino CEO Richard Rowe, 'We are absolutely thrilled with our
latest acquisition and encourage people to come and witness the
tree and its divine image of the Virgen De Guadalupe as often as they want.'
It makes me wonder if that hairball I removed from my shower drain this morning had a
familiar look about it. Maybe I should have looked at it more carefully before
throwing it away...hmmm, I wonder.
