This might be a new look for “Florida Woman.” I mean, usually, when we see her in the headlines, she’s usually having sex with her dog or getting naked and masturbating in traffic instead of doing something heroic like this.
According to UPI, a Florida woman named Katie has won the right to punch former Turing Pharmaceuticals CEO Martin Shkreli in the face thanks to her winning bid of $50,000.
Odds are you remember Shkreli as the asshole who purchased the rights to Daraprim, a drug used to treat HIV-positive patients, and hiked the price of a single tablet from $13.50 to $750, which came out to an increase of almost 5,556 percent. He was then arrested late last year after being charged with securities fraud related to two of his previous endeavors. And then, just when you thought there was nothing else he could possibly do to be considered an even bigger dick, Shkreli went out and bought the only copy of the latest album from the Wu-Tang Clan.
So despite the fact that Shkreli said he is going to match Katie’s bid of $50,000 and use all of it to pay for his friend’s six-year-old son’s cancer treatments, our hope is that she takes one lesson from Mike Tyson, pulls her fist back as far as possible and unleashes a punch so thunderous that it leaves Shkreli looking like Tom Cruise in “Vanilla Sky.” Cheers.
