STORY SUMMARY:

GoldenPalace.com, the Internet casino that previously bought a partially eaten grilled cheese sandwich with the likeness of the Virgin Mary for $28,000, now has a pretzel that some believe is shaped like the Virgin Mary holding baby Jesus. Antigua-based GoldenPalace.com swooped in about 30 seconds before bidding closed on the Internet auction site, eBay. The winning bid: $10,600.

Machell Naylor, who sold the snack from her home in St. Paul, Nebraska, paid $3.29 for the whole bag. Golden Palace says the company acquires such items because they believe the notoriety is worth it. Naylor's 12-year-old daughter, Crysta, said she discovered the Rold Gold honey-mustard-flavored pretzel while snacking and watching television with her family. Crysta is donating all of the money to charity. And in appreciation of Crysta's generosity, and the fact that it's her 13th birthday, GoldenPalace.com presented her with a horse.

Setting the standard in marketing creativity, GoldenPalace.com has devised some of the most exciting and outrageous advertising campaigns in the past few years. Recently, items such as the Virgin Mary Grilled Cheese Sandwich, Britney Spears' Pregnancy Test, and Pope Benedict XVI's previously-owned VW Golf have garnered extensive worldwide media attention for the casino.
