This story is one that warms the blackened, icy hearts of the Odd News team. In Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, Alan Markovitz, not satisfied with expressing his distaste for his ex-wife in just words, has bought and moved into a home that sits right next door to a house that’s occupied by…his ex-wife. That’s funny enough, but as WJBK Fox 2 points out, the cherry on top of this cupcake is an almost 12-foot high statue of a middle finger Markovitz put in his back yard, pointed toward his former love and her new boyfriend.
Fox 2 wasn’t able to get the ex-wife on the horn, but did speak with Markovitz. He told them that the plan was to get even with the new boyfriend, because two had allegedly had an affair while she was still married to our favorite art patron. He also told them that it wasn’t his intention for this to be public and that it only spread after his ex-wife’s daughter posted a picture on her Twitter account.
A private message, however, would be out of character for Mr. Markovitz. He’s quite the deal in Detroit. As this Deadline Detroit article summarizes in its first paragraph, “He's been shot twice, and he once was the target of a murder contract. He wrote an autobiography and bought and sold 11 local topless clubs…He once used a chimp in an act with predictably strange results.” And that’s not it.

Be honest with me: the action's of this guy are something you really feel are humorous and worth of admiration?
You obviously felt compelled and motivated enough to respond to my feelings about it in a quite a negative way.
That speaks a lot more about you than it does me.
I think it’s funny. They obscure the picture in the story, but a few days ago I Googled it and found a non-obscured version. There is a backing for the sculpture so it can only be seen by the ex and her shack-up. Neighbors can’t see it.
No.
Reread.Humorous. You made up that part about admiration. It's that self righteous thing you have going on. Gotta make everyone else less since you see yourself as less.
Get over yourself. We're all human and we all have humor in our lives - even you if you'll let it in.
OR, you might realize why the wife wasn't happy with him and feel sorry for her that he's still childishly tormenting her.
Not only are this man's actions childish (as I first posted), they are disturbing. To go through so much effort to taunt and "get even" (at least in his own mind) is profoundly wicked. Forgiveness, mercy, and yes even loving those who have wronged us are the qualities to aspire to, whether it is a serious or 'humorous' thread. We don't turn our values on or off so easily, in fact it is impossible.
