Charlie Sheen...

**Crankin** · 03-08-2011, 08:21 AM

I really like the show, but if anything, his behavior could be used as a teaching tool about mental illness and addiction. He's in the middle of a manic episode, for sure. And when and if he comes down, he'll be depressed and that's when he'll start drinking again.

I cannot watch that kind of thing on the news and have purposefully avoided it. It makes me sad and embarrassed for them.

This is my feeling exactly...

as they used to say about the newspapers "if it bleeds,it leads."

For the media it's all about the ratings and the biggest ratings out there right now is Charlie. (That is unless you're a sports fan, then it's tournament time for NCAA basketball).
But yea, the media is all about the ratings. The higher the ratings the more you can charge for ads.

If only Charlie started playing bball with USC. That would be a story.

In other news, I'm now dreaming about CS. That's how much all over the place he is. In my dream, I was on this reality show, and the object of the show seemed to be to not get annoyed by him and leave, or not get killed by his stupid antics. There was some sort of codependent enabling involved in there too. Strange dream. I suspect his exes, his kids and a couple of *goddesses* are living that reality show at the moment.

Finally, part of me, just part, thinks he's pulling a Joaquin Phoenix and this is part of a big hoax. Perhaps a hoax gone wrong.

This is one of the many reasons DH and I do not watch the news at all.

LMAO! Nice dream!!! I had a dream Tom Selleck was trying to kill me a couple weeks ago, and no matter what I did, he wouldn't die.

Part of me wonders if it's a hoax gone bad, too. He is SOOOO over the top, it almost seems like it has to be a hoax.

Excellent post, C. Guess he's not a danger to himself and/or others, so an involuntary commitment is out of the question at this point. Poor soul, he's suffering. I feel so bad for his family and those who love him.

I don't know who's more out of touch with reality, Charlie Sheen or Muammar Gaddafi.

Oh tell me about it, so annoying how much media attention he is getting from being an idiot! His many interviews consisting with him saying, and I quote, "Come on bro I've got tiger blood." It is just ridiculous.
