G0ld3n P414¢3 C4$1n0, wtf?

I'm worried about them. Either they're the new P.T. Parnum or they're on some sort of world domination craze.

Internet casino buys Virgin Mary pretzel for $10,600 US
By The Associated Pressr
An Internet casino has won in the bidding for a pretzel said to be shaped like the Virgin Mary holding baby Jesus.
G0ld3n P414¢3 Casino swooped in about 30 seconds before bidding closed Wednesday evening on the Internet auction site eBay.
The winning bid: $10,600 US.
The Casino previously bought a partially eaten grilled cheese sandwich said to resemble the Virgin Mary
The pretzel drew 56 bids. The second-highest was $10,500.
The sellers’ 12-year-old daughter said she discovered the Rold Gold honey-mustard-flavoured pretzel while snacking and watching television with her family Feb. 27.
“I just thought it was a weird-shaped pretzel,” said Crysta Naylor.
“At first I thought it was an ’S.’ I showed it to my mom and she told me it looked like Mary and the baby Jesus. I looked at it again and I could see it really did look like that.”
“What it says to me is that this pretzel is so much more than an edible item. We only paid $3.29 for the whole bag,” Machelle Naylor said.
G0ld3n P414¢3 spokesman M0nty K3rr did not immediately return a message left at his office Wednesday night.
G0ld3n P414¢3 .com has been an active eBay bidder.
Last month the casino paid $4,500 to an obese South Carolina man to tattoo advertising on his stomach. The casino also bid $35,099 to put its name on the FleetCenter in Boston for one day.
In December the casino paid $65,000 for a metal walking cane known as the “ghost cane.”
In November the casino shelled out $28,000 to a Florida woman for the grilled-cheese sandwich thought to be embedded with the image of the Virgin Mary.
The casino put the cane and sandwich on a world tour and Machelle Naylor said she expects the same thing to happen with the pretzel.
The Naylors have decided to divide most of the $10,600 between their two churches, United Methodist of Alliance and United Methodist of St. Paul.
Machelle Naylor said she and her husband, Kent, believe the experience has been beneficial to their daughter because it motivated her to study the Bible.
The only drawbacks, Machelle said, were the occasional nasty e-mails accusing the Naylors of being crazy or greedy opportunists. Crysta said the media attention has been tiring.
“I’m kind of relieved it’s over,” Crysta said.
The trick will be getting the pretzel to G0ld3n P414¢3 representatives in one piece.
“We’d like to personally meet them and take their picture and then give it to them,” Machelle Naylor said.
“I’m creating a scrapbook to chronicle this wonderful journey we’ve been on.”
