Journalist Quits Job and Leaves Husband to be with "Life Partner" Martin Shkreli

[gregthehammer]

Yeah, the rich guy whom everybody thinks is a meanie but who secretly has a heart of gold that can only be brought out by heroine is a staple of those books.

But, Shkreli?! He strikes me as more of a weenie than straight up meanie.

 

[Elagabalus]

This is probably common knowledge, but the Vampire's Wife is owned and run by the wife of Nick Cave, the goth singer - hence the name.

The Never Going To Give You Up guy?!!

Maybe not to the folk who invested their life savings into his scam funds.

I guess my point is that when I think of meanie "bad boys", I think of physically intimidating, masculine, don't wanna mess with them in a dark ally type. This guy? He's about as intimidating as George Costanza

The Never Going To Give You Up guy?!!

Yes!!!

 

[Matthew Best]

No, I'm just kidding. Nick Cave is not that guy. He is much more interesting - here's one of his best:

Mixing up Nick Cave and Rick Astley is punishable by vampire bites.

I see what you did there

My community rises up.

For me, every Nick Cave experience is a Nick-roll.

 

[arthwollipot]

Lol. Seriously now, this is one of Nick Cave's best. It's from the 1994 album Let Love In and the title refers to Milton's Paradise Lost.

Red Right Hand is one of his best. Not a compliment. (your link isn't working for me, by the way).

Nick Cave is the answer to the question "What if the movie Twilight was a rock star"?

Sorry - don't know what happened there. Try again now.

Well played sir. Well played indeed.

Many women are attracted to power. Whether that power is in the form of money, politics, celebrity, or criminal ruthlessness, is immaterial.
Back in the old days before science education was corrupted by pressure to conform to socially sensitive busibodies it was a well accepted theory that females of species - including humans - were genetically predisposed to seeking perceived "alpha" males.

I've always been partial to Gammas, myself.

Can you be more specific?

Fame has such a powerful effect on women that they can even be seduced by notoriety.

Can you be more specific?

Why? You know exactly what I mean.
