Steve McQueen is not a douche. He is super hot and a totally sexy badass. So, how does this related to the title of the post? It doesn't until you read the post by Chuck Olsen on Blogumentary. It is a brilliant style dissection of men who are douches and wear turtlenecks.
For those of you not in a turtleneck mood but still looking to have a laugh at the expense of a total douche. Check out this report on the Gawker. Apparently, this PR guy named Ronn is suing a rival for $20 million for being called a douche on the internet. Before you read the story and if you do, you will laugh or just be overwhelmingly-confused by the douche-level, as I am. I want to break this down a bit, the guy may be a douche, if he is all of his friends and associates already know he is a douche or they are simply as doucey and therefore do not know.
If he is not a douche, then by taking this prank instride, blowing it off with some wit and homour would support his non-douche status.
Instead, the guy decided to sue his aquaintence/competitor/whatever for $20 million in damages to his "brand" thereby increasing overall awareness of this act and his reaction to reach my tens of readers.
I have never heard of this guy. I am guessing, neither have you. Now he is well known as the douche sued over being called a douche. Nicely done.
Funny. What a douchebag. I like turtlenecks in general, but there is a high risk of douchebaggery when you wear them, especially if you are a man.
