In Douchebag Identification

Most on that side of the water consider him a douchebag of biblical proportions, but his status was recently reviewed,
The battered face of Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone is featured in a new advertisement for a Swiss watchmaker.
Ecclestone was mugged by four attackers and robbed of his watch and jewelry in London last month.
A photograph of Ecclestone with a black eye and scratched face — provided by the F1 chief — is being used in ads for the Hublot brand.
The tag line quotes Ecclestone as saying: “See what people will do for a Hublot.”

In example #2 we have the newly knighted Sir Massengill: It is my sincere displeasure to introduce you all to Charlie Gilmour.
The Pink Floyd guitarist’s son seen swinging on the Union Flag at the Cenotaph was arrested yesterday on suspicion of criminal damage and violent disorder.
Charlie Gilmour, 21, who is the adopted son of musician David Gilmour, caused national outrage when he grabbed the Union flag during the riots last Thursday.
He was pictured clutching a rock for use as potential ammunition against the police and allegedly boasted of ‘taking so many batons’ during the violent clashes.

The 21-year-old grabbed the stone from roadworks in Whitehall. With a scarf wrapped around his face in an unsuccessful attempt to hide his identity, the long-haired Cambridge history student tossed and caught the missile menacingly with his right hand as police struggled to defend the Palace of Westminster from the mob.
Your dad is worth nearly $100 million, and you’re throwing rocks on your break from Cambridge.
What a douche!
