Martin Shkreli has one of those faces that you just want to punch.
He even recognises it himself as he's holding an auction where the lucky winner will get to punch/slap him in the face. They'll also get to video it so they can cherish it for the rest of their days.
Shkreli is auctioning the punch for the benefit of the son of his PR consultant.
Donation for my PR consultant who passed away. Leaves behind a young child who is recovering from cancer.https://t.co/YLRa4PGTRe

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

The child in question beat cancer just days before his father passed away. Who knew Shkreli had a soul?
If you're wondering why Shkreli doesn't just make a donation himself, he offered an explanation for that too.
I'll match donation to a certain point. You may video the slap/punch. Mike architected my publicity stunts & I bet he is watching, smiling. https://t.co/kqnvQtJ10T

Mike won't be the only one smiling once the slap happens we're sure. The auction has been going well so far with two substantial bids on the table.
So far the two highest bidders to punch or slap me in the face are for $78,000 and $25,500. Let me know!

So if you've got a spare 80 grand lying around why not make a bid?
