Crazy Vegas Casino Causes Disruption at World Cup Final

Wednesday July 21, 2010

Crazy Vegas Casino has once again attempted to execute its airborne brand of guerrilla marketing upon the World Cup soccer event, having released a blimp in the vicinity of Johannesburg's Soccer City stadium to coincide with Sunday's closing ceremony and the final match between Spain and the Netherlands. The group of Crazy Vegas Casino conspirators, whose identities have been withheld from the press by authorities, released a blimp branded with the Crazy Vegas Casino URL into the airspace around the stadium at 5 PM GMT+2, and were swiftly apprehended by plainclothes members of the South African Police Force.

Although no arrests were made, Crazy Vegas Casino associates were released with a serious warning, and police proceeded to take down the blimp, which was hovering in close proximity to an aircraft flying closely above it, thus preventing a potential disaster. A witness who spoke on condition of anonymity stated that the blimp would have very likely crashed into the aircraft and caused a potential threat to the closing ceremony had it not been swiftly removed by the authorities. Police have also confiscated a camera belonging to the Crazy Vegas Casino members, which allegedly contains footage of the contentious altercation between the online casino marketers and police officers. Other anonymous sources claim that the footage may yet be returned.

This is the third time that Crazy Vegas Casino has illegally released the branded helium-powered advertisement devices around the vicinity of major 2010 World Cup events, the first having been released on 11 June to coincide with the kick-off ceremony, and the second having been released on 24 June at Johannesburg's Ellis Park stadium during the tournament between Italy and Slovakia.
