“Large” a Doucheblogger, says Gawker
Some folks are happy with Large’s dismissal from Citibank, offended by his ribald content.
In any case, Michael McCarthy is now internet famous, although Gawker is calling him a Douche, and he has been shown the door ala Rich Marin:
The jerkblogger behind the festival of misogyny and general frattishness that is Take a Report was found out by his employer, Citigroup, where he was a vice president. Due to its misogynist and generally idiotic overtones, “Large,” a.k.a. Michael J. McCarthy, was fired for his blog’s violation of code-of-conduct policies.
Perhaps they objected to posts such as, “Although I’m pretty sure you don’t condone the drugging and subsequent raping of female bar inhabitants, haven’t you at one time or another considered what would happen with the right girl and the right mix of vodka and chloroform?” But for every job lost, a doucheblogger gets his wings: “I have been asked to be the keynote speaker at the Saturday Banquet of this year’s Dallas Trading Convention… it’s BY FAR the best of all the trading conventions.” Woo! Some excerpts from Large’s musings after the jump: how he once managed to get thrown out of an Eric Clapton concert by screaming insults about Clapton’s dead son.
I got so fucking drunk at this concert that during a real quiet part of that song “Tears In Heaven”, I start screaming at the top of my lungs, “WINDOW BARS! YOU SHOULDA PUT UP WINDOW BARS!” And apparently I insulted enough people that they were able to conspire with security and get me thrown the fuck out of the place. Gawker
Large is weighing his options; Raj just hired some people who were unceremoniously blown out of the UBS Institutional Trading floor in midtown, but I am not sure you are his cup of tea.
But he claims he has some balls in the air; apparently working 3 hours days while blogging about tits and ass opens doors while simultaneously padding the resume and credentials::
Nothing earth-shattering, but in the end I am walking away with some time off and a lot to think about before starting something new. A handful of companies have reached out and asked me if I would be interested in sitting down with them in the coming weeks (some asked even before I officially entered the free-agent market), and the answer to everyone is “Yes"… I am going to make sure I sit down with EVERYONE who’ll have me before I make my next move. I am at a point in my life where my popularity is cresting while my career is troughing, so I may as well use this recent set of circumstances to right the ship.”
Of course, he is still blogging. Plenty of free time for him to surf for pictures to post, like this one from yesterday…
On a related note, scientists continue to explore the origins of equity traders, testing DNA in an ongoing search to determine who actually would breed with the beasts.
