Oops - They Bought it Again

May 19, 2005, Ottawa - Britney Spears recently confirmed her pregnancy. It was only a matter of time for the media controversy to unfold. The pregnancy test was allegedly found in a trash can at the hospital and was obtained by The New Hot 89.9, radio station. The Canadian radio station put the pregnancy test up for auction and it was snapped up by, you guessed it, Golden Palace Casino. As if the pope's old car and the Virgin Mary sandwich wasn't enough, the casino has now added one of the most bizarre items to their media attention grabbing collection. 

The positive test was discovered by a connection of the radio station who purchased it and held on to it until the pregnancy was confirmed. Golden Palace paid a handsome $16,009 to snap up the valuable little item. 

As with many of the weird and wonderful bits bought by Golden Palace, the proceeds will go to charity. The charities have been confirmed as the Candlelighters Childhood Cancer Foundation which and the Easter Seal Society which helps children with physical disabilities.

"Although we love being in the headlines, we also jump at any opportunity to help out needy charities," said GoldenPalace.com CEO Richard Rowe. "This way, everybody wins and the money goes where it is needed. We are very pleased that the Candlelighters Foundation and the Easter Seal Society will benefit from this sale."

"It's great that GoldenPalace.com took the pregnancy test off our hands,” said radio personality Jeff Mauler. “Not only are they helping out a couple of deserving charities, but they are also getting the pee out of our station. That's always a good thing."
