    The statue to begin with is ridiculous, God tells us christians to not make carved stone images for ourselves of the things in heaven, earth or the sea below... We don't worship statues .. I'll leave this for the Catholics to clean up.

    This is sick and twisted. Who ever came up with this " advertisement " for sports betting should be fired. The antics seem desperate for traffic and shows how bad advertising has gotten. Kids have to see this, I could see if they targeted bettors but leave the general public out of it. Tasteless, no respect, and subjecting women and children to this is cowardly.

    Clearly they believe in the "any publicity is good publicity" adage as it's been all over the TV news and radio talkback programs.
    They've got their moneys' worth.

    I detest these guys and their like members of the "Australian Wagering Council" as they bombard us with advertisements but fail to add the disclaimer "only losing punters will be tolerated".

    1)It's a statue
    2)From what i read i think the subject of said statue would be more appalled at the Billions of dollars spent as a statue of his likeness overlooks some of the worse poverty on the planet

    Couldn't care less about the religious carry on but the thing is ugly as hell and advertising a parasitic coward masquerading as a bookmaker and getting loads of free publicity.

    No ones perfect. I'm pretty sure gambling is also prohibited by the bible..

    Definitely a shameless advertising ploy but the entire industry is a bit shameless.

    Seems everyone is using the World Cup as an excuse to offend people - have to say though that this has me in stitches, I mean who in their right mind would believe this was actually real

    Hilarious. People are so gullible, go fkn' nuts at the drop of a hat. The best part is the idiots jump on twitter and Paddy Power gets more attention than they could ever pay for.
