From the sources I can find, the promo event did in fact did happen, but not quite as sensationally as the Daily Mail reported it. The goat wasn't sacrificed live at the event or anything (it arrived dead). And the "eating offal out of the bowls of the goat" part was false. It was soup, served in bowls. The topless girls part?...I don't think anyone denied that part. Still a weird stunt, if you ask me. It never happened?
