Paddy Power "Scum" hijack Ryder Cup (and get banned)

The Paddy Power Ryder Cup Sign: http://www.paddypower.com fought the courts and the courts won!

The giant "Hollywood" style Paddy Power sign over looking the Ryder Cup at Celtic Manor landed the Irish betting firm in court. Celtic Manor owner described Paddy Power as scum following the "guerrilla marketing" stunt outside the boundaries of Celtic Manor as the Ryder Cup got underway on Monday. Following the court case Paddy Power has been given 3 days to disassemble the sign at Celtic Manor and leave the Ryder Cup to carry on un-Paddied!

Well done old boy..good chaps is what you would have heard if a Brit done this...but a paddy is "Scum" Bigotry and prejudice is alive and well in dear old Blighty..thank God we don't have green heads..perish the thoughts otherwise.

If a Brit company put up a sign.."good chap, old boy" would be heard..but a paddy does it "scum" reverberates. All I say is thank god we don't have green heads as prejudice and bigotry is very much alive and well in dear Old Blighty..Paddy goes to Holyhead rings loud and clear, PS thanks for the loan of £7BN just a small consolation for the thousands of Irish that perished in WW1 & 2 and for the building of Britain to its former "glory" with Irish labour.
