Get A Chance To Punch Martin Shkreli
October 3, 2016
Real life villain Marin Shkreli is giving people the chance to punch him in the face to whoever bids the most money. He’s doing this to raise money for the family of one of his deceased friends. On Martin Shkreli’s Twitter, he said, “I will auction one slap/punch in the face to benefit my friend Mike who passed away & leaves behind a young son who survived cancer. DM bids.”
If you don’t know who Shkreli is, he is a man who raised the price of life-saving drugs from thirteen dollars to over seven hundred dollars. Now, there are a ton of people jumping at the chance to punch this smug villain in the face, but so far the highest bidders are $250,500 and $78,000. He also tweeted, “I’m matching the donation amount and each dollar donated gets you a raffle ticket to punch, slap, have, dinner, or even a date, with me.”
I personally think we should all chip in some money from the penny wars so that the mantis shrimp can punch him square in his stupid smug face. The mantis shrimp has the punching power of a rifle, enough to break tough glass, so it would hurt him tremendously. If not the shrimp, then we can get profession boxers and fighters to punch him in the face. The possibilities are endless. At least the reason Martin Shkreli is doing this whole thing is for charity and for the five-year-old son of a friend he lost.
Update: Twitter user @like_ether_ donated $50,000, which he will be matching. She is the official winner.
