7 Reasons Not to Mock Charlie Sheen from Dan Abramson

I'm happy to see I'm not the only one!

The one about Jon Cryer was great. Alas, poor Duckie.

That's what I was thinking. And Jon Cryer's won an Emmy for Two And A Half Men and been nominated four other times in eight years on the show.

Also, I'm surprised Martin Sheen hasn't spoken out about his son, either supporting him or urging him to get help. Maybe he's just not being public about it.

 

[corianderstem]

Either his family is just doing a very good job staying out of the media with whatever they're doing, or they've given up on trying to help him and are going the tough love route.

Either way, I feel for them.

He did an interview last week, actually. He said he thinks addiction is like cancer and that Charlie needs to treat it as intensely as people treat cancer.

 

[corianderstem]

Ah. Well then, never mind!

The fact that this interview was either largely ignored or quickly forgotten is sad.

I'm just going to put this out there because something about all this doesn't feel right. I'm a cynic. And as a cynic, I have this suspicion that Sheen knows exactly what he's doing. He's completely lucid and is just trying to get all the attention he can get. Does he have a drug problem? Perhaps. Does he have some sort of narcissistic personality disorder? Seems that way. Is he melting down right in front of our very eyes? I have my doubts, and all of this, including the Twitter account and subsequent tweets, is his way of garnering attention and tapping into our celebrity-obsessed culture. Or it's something else I haven't figured out yet.

i agree with this....one hell of a publicity stunt and in the end he gets more attention and probably more money. It works because if his show does come back on tv everyone will want to watch out of random curiousity.

I'd be surprised if he didn't get a cameo in the Hangover sequel.

 

[PhilsFan]

He doesn't look insane when he's saying these things. He looks totally self-aware.

He doesn't look insane when he's saying these things. He looks totally self-aware.

He does look like shit though. I just take him at face value: He has fully embraced his rock star life style and is making the most of it, but he knows what he's doing

 

[Daddysgonnapay]

He does look like shit though.

he sure does

This x1000

I'm getting the creeping suspicion that this was the plan all along.

 

[corianderstem]

I dunno. If Galafanakis nixed Mel Gibson due to his issues, he would hopefully also nix Sheen due to his history of violence against women.

 

[MrPryck2U]

What about his kids? Shouldn't he pretend he's a good person for their sake? He is kind of supposed to be a role model for them.

He's "winning"...what more role model do they need?

What's Emilio Estevez up to these days?

He's sporting a goatee to cover up the fact that he's fat.

 

[Sicy]

He's tweeting all kinds of pics ha.

You know, I'm really going to miss him when this is over.

The #planbetter is what really cracked my shit up in that twat (twert? twit?)

I dont understand what the # things are all about

Charlie Sheen's actually an innovator with that: he's the first person I've seen employ the hashtag (#) in actual conversation. You know how he finishes sentences by just going "Winning!" That's sort of the hashtag's purpose. It's to summarize what you've been talking about or to connect to another subject.

Think about if Laz made a joke about a woman in the Hottest Chick thread. On Twitter, he'd end it with #tooeasy. Or if GAF made ... well, any post and ended it with #drunk. That's sort of the idea. It resembles a non-sequitur occasionally, but it usually should be somewhat apparent what is meant.

My most recent tweet that related: "Gambino is trending. That's pretty badass. #getlikeme" Get Like Me is a song by Childish Gambino, and also vaguely relates in sentiment to Gambino being a badass.

But Charlie Sheen has actually put it into conversation. I swear, the transcript of that interview should read: "Come Thursday morning they're going to name it Charlie Brothers and not Warner Brothers. Duh! #winning" That's how it should read, because it's the only way to express the sentiment he's trying to get across.
