Paddy Power's Last Supper

jesusI saw a funny story online in a few places but never linked it up. I decided to after seeing a post about it on Wicked Chops Poker the other day.

There is an online gambling site known as Paddy Power and they recently took down an advertising ad they were using after it offended an entire religion.

The Roman Catholics in Ireland were not too happy with the ad that Paddy Power ran. They took offense to it because the online site used da Vinci's Last Supper in a marketing campaign.

The ad showed Jesus with a stack of poker chips in front of him. His Apostles were playing poker and roulette on either side of him. Pretty funny!

Paddy Power reluctantly took down the ads. Check out the below post for more details. Wicked Chops also has a picture of the ad in question.
