Martin Shkreli is one of the more maligned people you’ll find on the internet. Whether he’s selling prescription drugs for astronomical prices or attempting to buy that fabled and expensive Wu-Tang album, I think we can all agree on one thing: if you like Martin Shkreli, you’re probably at least somewhat of dick in some way, shape, or form. I don’t think that’s an outlandish statement for such a scumbag of a human.
But out of all the things Martin Shkreli has done, he’s officially taken his smug persona too far. He’s waged a war on brunch, the meal we can all agree – well, almost all of us – is the best. Yesterday on Twitter, he responded to one of his followers in regards to the popular weekend meal, and his takes were unsurprisingly douchey.
It’s a peculiar move to down talk brunch by saying that it’s “for women” and attempting to drop the proverbial mic by ending with “there. i said it.” Seems a little, oh, I don’t know… sexist? But hey, if this guy wants to call it “late breakfast” or “early lunch” instead of “brunch” or “blunch,” he can be my guest. When it’s all said and done, I’m pretty sure he’s at the bottom of the barrel of people you’d most want to brunch with.
I’ve reached out to him regarding his thoughts.
But no word back yet. Stay tuned. .

Going off of what Unproductive Behavior said, we should do the opposite of hate on him. We should love him unconditionally until he lets his fragile little guard down that protects his Napoleonic Syndrome ego and just when he finally knows what love is, we take him to a quarry filled with gasoline and then a peculiar/mysterious man in an old school press hat with a trench coat stands atop the edge, lights a cigarette, takes a couple of drags, and casually flicks the cherried butt into the quarry and slowly turns to walk away.
Dude, please don’t involve me in your conspiracy to commit a homicide
You’re already an accessory to premeditated homicide, sorry man. We gotta find out who that guy smoking the cigarette is so we clear our names.
I’m going to go out on a limb here and guess Gary Busey
I like that plot twist. A lot.
No way, that’s totally Joseph Cotten. Or maybe Darren McGavin.
No overt act on our part, at most we might be charged with misprision of a felony. I’ll show myself out.
DeFries, get this jabroni to release that Wu-Tang album.
Okay, let me pull some strings.
I mean, you’re verified. I can’t ask Dillon.
Very punchable face on this guy.
Who has the more punchable face, this guy or affluenza teen? I honestly can’t decide.
Probably the smug face that raised pill prices by 5,000% and saying “fuck you” to patients with infectious disease. The affluenza teen will burn in hell but his kill count has nothing on Shkreli’s.
I hate hating him because it’s too easy and predictable, but yeah…I hate him.
This guy enjoys being hated. He just seems like a really lonely dude who wants people to pay attention to him. It’s kind of pathetic, and I feel sorry for him even though he’s ridiculously rich
There’s a solid chance that he goes to prison soon (and lose most of his cash in legal fees on the way) so it’ll all even out
I doubt he’ll go broke, the guy is pretty liquid: http://fortune.com/2016/01/08/martin-shkreli-net-worth/
I’m not even a fan of brunch and still think the guy’s a dick.
Does anyone else think he looks like a grown up version of Lizzy McGuire’s brother?
He’s not worth a delicious Eggs Benny with a bacon-garnished Bloody Mary anyway.
This is one thing to like about that guy!
Not a fan of brunch either. I have two free days a week. I’m sure as fuck not going to sit around looking at a menu and paying to have someone toast me some bread and fry my egg. I’m pretty good at that myself. I’d rather be outdoors doing something fun that sitting around trying to look fancy. Sorry, I know I’ll get piled on, but I’m not wasting any free weekend time eating. Fucking, yes. Drinking, yes. Sporting pursuits, yes. Swimming in the ocean or surfing, yes.
