"There is going to be blood and it's not going to be mine!" exclaimed an animated Joe Brennan, Jr., whose iMEGA trade organization has challenged the US government policy on Internet gambling. "I won't be taken down alive!" European online gambling operators choked on their own ties upon hearing Brennan's desperate diatribe. Others gasped in disbelief. Brennan Jr. received a response almost immediately. "I'm going to make him my b****!" said the target of his rage, and it wasn't United States Attorney Catherine Hanaway uttering those words (though she very well may have). Brennan, Jr., a former boxer, and Gambling911.com's own Sparky Collins, a former soldier who served in Angola for Cuba as a precision sniper, will be going up against each other at the January 20 Gambling911 Party as part of a Charity Online Gambling Death Match. Sparky, the bubbly transgender reporter for the Gambling911 site, has told people close to him that he plans to knock out Brennan within the first minute of their matchup. "He is right. He won't be taken down alive," Sparky interjected in his thick Cuban tongue. Sparky is a legal US citizen thanks to the wet foot, dry foot policy. He had his papers, a few thousand bucks from the US government and a place to live before he could even dry off and get a pedicure. "I am going to put my dry Cuban foot up his Irish ***!" Sparky added with a sly grin. Eventually, Brennan came to his senses. "Yeah, I'm a little nervous." A number of European online gambling operators have taken exception to the idea of Brennan appearing at the Gambling911.com party and cavorting with scantily clad females. The Costa Rican online gambling operators, meanwhile, all wish they could be in attendance...but that's not possible at this time. Even some of the European operators like Henrik from GNUF.com secretly wish they were coming (though we guess it's no longer a secret). And the money will go to a good cause. Party goers can donate whatever they wish to their favorite opponent while watching the NFC and AFC Championship games. A Sparky win goes to his favorite charity. That would be sending clothes back to his family in Cuba. Payton O'Brien, Senior Editor of the Gambling911.com website who will be refereeing this bloodbath, questioned Sparky's charity. "He sends clothing down there every three months. I'm surprised his family hasn't opened a Macy's in Cuba by now." Instead, O'Brien suggests giving money towards Brennan's cause....that would be supporting his trade organization for Internet freedom and abolishing the online gambling prohibition that many in Congress are now trying to get rid of as well. "And best of all you don't have to come to the party to donate," O'Brien points out. You can make donations here A dozen or so Hawaiian Tropic babes attending the party will be rooting for Brennan. "I'll be cheering Joe on the same time I'm cheering on the Yankees to win the Super Bowl," said Brandy, one of the Tropics girls. All online gambling operators are being asked to use this occasion to support Brennan, Jr. and send funds to iMEGA.
But Sparky wasn't laughing. "We'll be serving the pieces of him as whore derves when I'm done!" Sparky declared. On Capital Hill, House Financial Services Committee, Barney Frank, may be rooting for iMEGA to win its recent court challenge against the Constitutionality of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act. Unfortunately, word on the street is that he's donating a suit and some pairs of socks to Sparky's family in Cuba. Edward Leyden, President of iMEGA.org, will still be overseeing things in the likely event that Joe does end up unable to perform his duties after the big party. Leyden is also donating some pairs of underwear to Sparky's cause! iMEGA, for many, is one of the only real hopes for repealing the UIGEA. ---- Christopher Costigan, Gambling911.com Publisher CCostigan@CostiganMedia.com Originally published January 6, 2008 5:30 pm EST
