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.

I like this guy.
He can either move on with his pain and anger, or choke on his own bitterness. The choice is his.
You aren't Christ - you are human and a sinner. Get over yourself.
He can either move on with his pain and anger, or choke on his own bitterness. The choice is his.
Sounds to me like he's getting his anger and bitterness out and will be laughing about it soon !
In the “comments” section...”He only has one finger left. She got the other four in the divorce.”

Mockery is a tactic used by Saul Alinsky.
Principled, are you also a community organizer?
Worthy of a government arts grant, it’s better than most of the garbage in public art museums. He should look into it.
Lighten up Francis. Jesus H. Christ. You’re telling me you can’t see the humor in this?
“He can either move on with his pain and anger, or choke on his own bitterness. The choice is his.” That’s what makes this story so funny. He can’t get over this.
Besides, who are you to judge. Do you know this guy’s ex-wife? Who knows, after spending a little time with her you might think this guy didn’t go far enough.
“Christ would not endorse such a thing”
Are you sure about that? I mean they are going to burn
in hell anyway, why would Christ mind. I know God has a
sense oh humor why wouldn’t his son the Logos?
He might be choking on his own bitterness, but it’s funny to watch.
I never said I was. I believe my exact words were:
"Christ would not endorse such a thing, so why should I applaud it?"
Maybe you should read this:
105 Bible Verses about Imitating Christ
If you are applauding a man who is obviously behaving contrary to these verses per his actions in that article, then perhaps you are on the wrong path.
Just what escalation in this feud would you recommend?
Lighten up Francis. Jesus H. Christ.
Mocking the Savior and using His name that way does not help your case.
Actually, He does mind.
"The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance."
2 Peter 3:9
Childish. Christ would not endorse such a thing, so why should I applaud it?
He can either move on with his pain and anger, or choke on his own bitterness. The choice is his.

Like the folks decrying the “I’d hit it” threads, you have to have known that you were going to get replied to in less than flattering ways.
Sometime juvenile humor hits the spot. And there is nothing wrong with that. This is one of those times.
LOL he is a human and a sinner - that is not mockery. Being human and being a sinner is not degrading or insulting. Mockery is what you tried to do to me by calling me something degrading that I am not.
Not even a very good try.

Christian self righteousness and myopia are not good characteristics.
In the 1415 Battle of Agincourt between the French and English as the birth of flicking the bird. The English had the best archers in Europe at the time. For the archer to use the longbow, he needed his first two fingers. Apparently, the French threatened to cut the fingers off the English longbow men. In a contemptuous gesture, the English gave the finger to the French showing they still had their fingers.
Before or after they threatened to fart in their general direction?
SkyPilot you’re a real tool.
“Just what escalation in this feud would you recommend?” You suggested that, not me.
“Mocking the Savior”
Who was mocking anyone?
“does not help your case.”
Why because you said so?
Do you ever laugh at silly stuff you read? Relax a little, enjoy life.
Good thing you have not stooped to name calling and ad hominem attacks.
You suggested that, not me.
I disagree. This is what you posted:
Who knows, after spending a little time with her you might think this guy didn’t go far enough.
Who was mocking anyone?
Answer: You.
Again, your post:
"Lighten up Francis. Jesus H. Christ"
I laugh all the time. You know what is amazing to me? There are constant threads around here about how coarse and dirty our culture has become. We are really living in the Miley Cyrus sewer of a society.
We debate over and over again about "they" are so terrible, and how the rot begins. Then, we are supposed to guffaw and laugh at some strip joint owner (a real Rev Billy Graham this guy) who, in his rage and bitterness, purchases a house next to an ex-wife and erects a very tall obscene gesture statue that is even lit at night. These are the actions of someone who is deranged, disturbed, and deviant. Yet, if we don't join with the the mirth, here come the personal attacks (see your own post).
Congratulations.
