Man buys HIV drug supply and the price goes up through the roof

There should be a funny little flash game called "Punch The Pharma DoucheBro".

I really need this now.

And I'm sure it would attract less controversy than when it happened to Anita Sarkeesian.

Well, if jerks can do it, why not normal people?

Heck! There's something like that with a South Park cartoon-style Kim Davis. You shoot marriage applications at her.

So Pharma Douche has yet to lower the price of the drug, and has instead sent his lawyers and lobbyists to DC, cause Some members of congress  wrote a nasty letter to him and it hurt his feelings

Can we kill him now??

[Askold]

No, murder is bad.

We just need to use him as an example of why unrestricted capitalism is bad and why universal healthcare and affordable medicine should be considered human rights.

[nickiknack]

how about the added bonus of at least making him hurt, if not murder, then maybe tarring and feathering him, or sending Niam to deal with him??

[mellenORL]

Of course he backpedaled. He's a fucking weasel. He never even said how much he was going to lower the price, anyway. Fucking weasel.

[Eiki-mun]

So can someone finally put a bullet between his eyes already? Please, if anyone deserves it, it's this guy. I mean, don't get me wrong, murder is bad, but this guy's committing murder himself by making life-saving drugs unaffordable, so I'd say it's justified here. Hell, if I lived in New York, I'd do it myself.

[Damen]

No, murder is bad.

I think Matt Bors is becoming my favourite political cartoonist. At least in the sub-category "Still alive and making comics."

AWESOME!

That said. A game with punching would be even more awesome.

Does Douchebro get that the jokes on him?

Considering how things escalated from that, no.

Update on the exchange with Martin Shkreli. After he raised the price of my original to $50k, he didn't follow through on donating the money. (He has a thing for raising prices, it seems.) Then a random twitter account jumped in and sent me ten grand through Paypal in order to debate him. It's in my account and as soon as it can't be reclaimed through a dispute I'll donate it to toxoplasmosis research.

The bolded part made me do a sensible chuckle.

Anyway, it looks like "someone who definitely isn't Shrekli using a fake identity in a weird attempt to make the artist look bad" IS going to give $10k to charity so this funny comic is going to help cancer research more than Mr. Shrekli has done.
