Golden Palace Pays $650k to Name a Monkey

Filed in archive Casinos by jo on April 13, 2005

In yet another episode of the auction escapades of goldenpalace.com, the PR-hungry and clearly cash-rich online casino have paid $650,000 to have a monkey named after them.

The auction, held by charityfolks.com, was raising money for the Madidi National Park in Bolivia where the titi monkey was discovered last year

"Its formal name will be Callicebus aureipalatii --- Latin for "golden palace.""

At least its a slightly more worthy cause that an old mouldy piece of toast

I guess ... it's better than spanking one's monkey? ;)
