    She's attempting to pillage him like a modern Swedish marriage-Viking.

    Why is the American wearing some sort of be-ribboned medal around his neck? Was he awarded the Order of the Sugar Daddy or something?

    She's hot, in a blue blooded, ice queen way. I bet she is into serious kink. Maybe even gets on top on occassion, you know, after a few gimlets.

    BTW, this story is incomplete until we hear from the fencer whose foil penetrated even the coldest and hardest of hearts.

    Who are these assholes?
    No, seriously. Who are they? This is two days in a row about some dickish and controlling CEO (what a shock, seeing as that's how he made his fortune - being dickish and controlling) and his spoiled brat jackass of a wife.


    Why do you care? And why are we being asked to?

    @magictitty: It's easy to confuse this site with The Economist. But the focus here is not on news and finance, but rather people that abuse news and finance. So, we don't look for dynamic stochastic general equilibria, but a good ass to fist.

    Oh and your rejoinder post about my own as 'point proven' was tepid and obvious. So good work.

    @magictitty: Ya, usually when it's media assistant director #457's demotion to assistant media director #457 I'm all "what the heck is this post even about?". But this story about needing $50k a week for living expenses is hilarious, and the follow ups are increasing the trashy/funny angle of this story.


    Do I care about them? No. Are they absurd enough to be actually funny? Yes. So I VOTE IT STAYS. Until unfunny.

    @son of spam: I think it's really just farther along the spectrum of makeup sex. You know at first you have a tiny disagreement and have make up sex.


    Then pretty soon you don't have makeup sex until you've both been yelling for an hour or so.


    Then that gets boring and in order to have makeup sex someone has to have thrown something.


    And so forth until you get to restraining order sex.

    @No Day Like Friday: @Almostbanned: Actually, it seemed more to me as if he thought the only way she'd have sex with him is if he did something drastic. The full translation being that they've only had sex four times in seven years (maybe five times, if she was feeling generous on the honeymoon).
