Boycott GoldenPalace.com







GoldenPalace.com really needs to consider taking a different approach in its advertising. Staying within the law would be a good place to start.

This was the third time since Friday that the online casino relied on exhibitionists to draw attention to the website by disrupting the Olympic competition and festivities.

TURIN, Italy -- In a startling security breach, an intruder got on stage during Sunday's closing ceremony of the Turin Olympics.

The man approached the microphone during a speech by organizing committee chief Valentino Castellani and shouted, "Passion lives in Torino," the slogan of the games.

The man, identified by police as Spanish, was then whisked away by security officers and taken into custody for questioning.

...The intruder was wearing a black T-shirt emblazoned with the name of an online casino. Police said he had a Turin staff jacket, allowing him to blend in with volunteers near the stage.

In a separate incident at the start of the ceremony, a female streaker tried to run onto the stage but was turned back by security.

On Friday, a male streaker with the online gambling company's name on his chest ran out from the stands during the bronze medal curling match.



This Associated Press account doesn't mention the name of the online gambling site. That's good from the standpoint that GoldenPalace is hoping to get free publicity by breaching security at high profile events.

Why give the company exactly what they're looking for?

I mention the name of the site because I think it should be avoided like the plague.

It's frightening to think that it's possible for these dolts to get past incredibly tight security.

It's also troubling to think that the company might profit by carrying out such inappropriate stunts.
