The Resume

    (October 22, 1932-September 26, 2010)
    Born in St. John's, Antigua and Barbuda
    Lover of Christine Keeler
    Figure in the 1960s Profumo Affair
    Author of 'Black Scandal' (2002)

Why he might be annoying:

    Although self-identified as a 'jazz promoter,' he was in actuality a thief, drug dealer and pimp.
    He pimped out his on-again/off-again girlfriend Christine Keeler.
    He sliced open the face of romantic rival Aloysius 'Lucky' Gordon after he beat up Christine.
    When Christine broke up with him, he shot up the apartment where she hid.
    The shooting ignited the Profumo Affair.

Why he might not be annoying:

    His father abandoned him and his 7 siblings.
    He stowed away on a ship bound for the United States in search of his dad.
    Christine's promiscuous and tangled love life--sleeping with a big time British politician, alleged Soviet spy, old osteopath and black pimp--destroyed the lives of many people.
    After serving 5 years in jail on an illegal firearms charge, he attempted to lead a more low-key, legal life.
    Roland Gift, of Fine Young Cannibals fame, portrayed him on film.
