The Irish have always had the ability to shock and astound us with the measures of insane thinking that they have always reached. When Paddy Power (seriously, that's the guys goddamn name, not an Irish joke - ed.) was thinking of possible April Fools Day jokes, he thought of creating a fake tournament to get people excited and then simultaneously crush their spirits.
And the World Strip Poker Championship was born. However, Power did not think about the type of rabid excitement that a large group of his fellow drunken countrymen would show for a chance to see possibly one woman naked among 199 men.
So now, the official tournament kicks off on August 19 in London, with the winner receiving a golden fig leaf trophy and over 18 grand in cash. Somehow we doubt this will be shown on ESPN 8: The Ocho.
