Steve Wynn - Man Hero

I’m kicking off a week of articles on manly man men today. Manly man men who excel in the field of manness at all times; not only above and beyond my own man standards (mandards), but by kicking the shit out of theirs as well.

That’s what being a man is all about: surprising yourself. I surprise myself ten times a day at least.

I’ve also surprised myself by starting this week of articles on a Friday. Do you think a week of Manly Man Men could be contained in 7 days? I don’t fucking think so.

On Wednesday, Steve Wynn ripped a $139 million dollar Picasso painting he had just sold to a fellow art collector. Do you know what the first thing he said was after he ripped it?

‘Oh shit. Look what I’ve done.’

That’s 70 Man Points right there. 20 for swearing and 50 for admitting he fucked up. When men fuck up (which is rarely), they admit it right away. If a woman had ripped the painting — and I don’t know how that would be possible because no man on Earth would ever let a woman near a Picasso of that size. Women have no delicacy at all. Feel the top of your head. It’s lumpy because your mother dropped you at least once when you were a child. But if a woman had ripped the painting, this is what she would have said.

‘This painting is not ripped.’

No matter how many television crews or people will eyeballs were there to tell her otherwise. I’ve been standing by a parked car and shouting ‘Stop!’ as a woman backed right the fuck into it. You know what she said when the car ground to a halt?

‘I didn’t do that.’

The second thing Steve Wynn said after he ruined the painting was:

‘Thank goodness it was me.’

That’s 139 million man points and what launches the casino magnate into the Man Halls of Man Fame. It’s not because he’s taking responsibility, but in one sentence and over the course of five seconds, Wynn has empathized with everyone on Earth who is not him. That’s a shitload of people.

Look at that sentence carefully. Thank goodness it was me. Thank goodness it wasn’t some other non-casino owning jackass who would now have a 139 million tonne albatross of debt hanging off his neck. Thank goodness it was me, the one person who can now invalidate the sale (which he did) with no feelings of being swindled.

Steve Wynn and the would be buyer of the Picasso breathed a sigh of relief. Not because Wynn took responsibility — everyone knew he was going to do that, but because he is a man. A woman would have fucked this up and completely embarrassed herself. It happens every day.

Girls can’t beat us fair & square…so they have to play dirty.

Their recent anti-free speech, MRA censorship campaign is living proof of this.

That’s the bloody manly gist of it. Don’t bother your pretty little void head trying to unravel the essential meaning of the gesture.

How did an article about Steve Wynn end in a comment about sex? And has everyone else missed the fact that he ripped a PICASSO painting?!?!?!?!?!

Feminists and women have ripped off far worse. And you can’t ‘rip off’ a painting like that. He wasn’t the first one to make deformed images.

thank you for pointing that out. i actually realized [before your mentioning and all] that it could be taken in 2 different ways. and no- i did not mean it that way. im not here to “put down” men. i was replying to “And if a woman ripped it she would try to blame it on a man.” oh, and my “capitalization and punctionation” is much better offline.

I’m sorry Sandra. These people are really sad. I have to sympathize with them. Feel bad for them. Don’t be mean.

Are most women just too stupid to realize how farking stupid they are or are they all just in denial? And I’m not talking a river in Egypt.

It’s the only way women can be amusing at all and then they deny it.

punctionate (v): To deliberate for a ridiculous amount of time before finally getting to a period. See: PMS.

Are you saying that you capitalise and punctuate in your daily speech?

nah, i meant hand-written things.

No, she “punctionates.” Probably for about 3 weeks a month, like most women.

… women rarely admit that they fuck up in the first place.

I am wondering if there isn’t a reason for that. Can you imagine a woman acknowledging everytime she fucks up? That would constitute never-ending streams of “Ooops, my bad” emanating from their mouths. And it would give them the perfect excuse to talk in their sleep (since they had to spend every waking moment apologising).

sandra,

Putting aside the fact that you’re not supposed to be here in the first place, not to mention the lousy capitalization and punctuation, the statement

i most certainly wouldnt go so far as to blame someone else- like a man.

is ambiguous. Are you saying that you wouldn’t blame a man? Or that you wouldn’t blame someone else, as a man supposedly would? I’m guessing the latter, in which case you need to use as, not like. If you’re going to say something silly, at least do it clearly.
