Warren Buffett appears as Walter White from “Breaking Bad” on his Christmas card [View all]

Warren Buffett apparently likes the AMC television series Breaking Bad so much, he decided to send out a Christmas card inspired by the show. The card reads “Have yourself a Meth-y Little Christmas,” a play on the main character Walter White’s illicit job as a meth cook. It features a photo of Buffett in a full Walter White outfit, as seen above in the version sent to Wall Street Journal reporter Serena Ng, who used to cover Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway for the paper.

Literature is rife with deeply flawed protagonists 1000words Dec 2013 #9

Jesse was the flawed protagonist. delta17 Dec 2013 #15

That's debatable 1000words Dec 2013 #16

Wow, I agree with you 100%. delta17 Dec 2013 #14

I don't know anyone who felt he redeemed himself. joshcryer Dec 2013 #24

He's an anti-hero. joshcryer Dec 2013 #23

Yeah Mr. Buffett, Yeah Finance! JeffHead Dec 2013 #2

I wonder what Buffet is cooking these days. :/ adirondacker Dec 2013 #3

Hmmm. El_Johns Dec 2013 #4

I don't think he's a good guy. I also doubt that he'd send Christmas cards with references to El_Johns Dec 2013 #6

I get where you're coming from. But it is him. Archaic Dec 2013 #7

Hmm. I should concede, but how come his twitter account only has 4 posts? El_Johns Dec 2013 #8

Probably because he's not a socialite and doesn't have a PR team to do it. Archaic Dec 2013 #10

Buffett doesn't have a PR team.....? He's writing his own tweets? El_Johns Dec 2013 #11

I'm comparing him to the brands that have PR depts that post constantly. Archaic Dec 2013 #12

He has more than one home, and his original home has been added on to. El_Johns Dec 2013 #18

Go read up on what his son is doing. Pretzel_Warrior Dec 2013 #20

I already know what his son's doing. He's continuing the work begun by the Rockefeller Foundation, El_Johns Dec 2013 #21

Lol. Wait. I thought Cargill and ADM were doing that. Pretzel_Warrior Dec 2013 #22

No contradiction there. El_Johns Dec 2013 #25

His Wikipedia entry presents him a bit less ominously Pretzel_Warrior Dec 2013 #26

In the HuffPo piece, Buffet lays it out. The broad argument he makes is not objectionable. El_Johns Dec 2013 #27

I doubt Buffet has a PR team. He does his own taxes and as of a few years ago got his Wall St data okaawhatever Dec 2013 #17

I like him. He gives great talks to young people Pretzel_Warrior Dec 2013 #19

He has more than he needs. That is not integrity. seattledo Dec 2013 #29

lol. you have a goofy definition of integrity Pretzel_Warrior Dec 2013 #30
