Poker Site Fakes Its Own Controversy

Filed in archive Poker on February 23, 2006

I thought i'd seen most things when it came to online gambling marketing - be it auctions or stunt marketing. But mixing politics, religion and poker is one place I didn't think it would go.

How wrong could I be.

It seems Pokershow, an online poker site, decided it would be amusing to post a music video called 'suicide Bomber'. If that wasn't bizarre enough, it seems this so-called video has had complaints from the Muslim community - notably a group called MuslimMediaWatch. The blog from this so-called blog is fairly sparce of media or watching - it seems pokershow themselves created the blog to create its own complaints.

As Adrants says, amaterish at best. Stupid at worst
