I'm really tempted to make a thread titled "Fuck You, This is NOT a Thread About Charlie Sheen" but we've had that Talk about parody threads.

This is not a thread about Charlie Sheen. It's a thread about happiness that naturally and spontaneously came to center around the man, the legend, Charlie Sheen.

Blink your eyes really fast and you catch individual frames, and that's when it becomes really frightening.

Seeing people's constant shit about Charlie Sheen just ruins my day. There's nothing attention-worthy about him. Never has been. Emilio Estevez is where it's at.

I was unaware Charlie was being lionized.

Quote

Beckerman goes on to admit that elements of Sheen's life are "not admirable," but concludes that "every honest man on earth would nevertheless trade places with him in a (chemically accelerated) heartbeat."

Charlie Sheen does not make me happy. He makes me confused and a little scared. Please stop. Why? See below.

Man, I saw a picture of Martin Sheen today and while he is aging really well, I was reminded by how old he is and it makes me really sad. I will be sad when he dies, guys.

Also I have a migraine again.

Wait, this is the wrong thread.

I think this is one of those cases in which Gawker takes something really marginal on the internet and makes it seem bigger than it is. Like, anybody with half a lick of sense would get that, while being paid $2 million dollars a week for doing practically nothing would be great, being an erratic and hopeless addict such as Charlie Sheen would lose its luster very, very quickly.

If anything is questionable it's the morbid fascination the public has with him now that they're just waiting for him to fall back down to the ground and relapse so they can stop laughing and start clucking their tongues many, many years after the point at which doing so would have made sense.

Craig Ferguson got sick of it and has vowed to stop telling jokes about it, like he did with the late night wars and Britney Spears (which is a great little speech) before. Good on him, I guess.

David_Dovey · « **Reply #66 on:** 03 Mar 2011, 00:08 »

The main thing for me is that the guy is a convicted wife beater, with a long history of violence and threats to several women, which I didn't know because literally no-one is mentioning it in the clamor to turn him into the next Anal Prolapse. Also all the really icky Anti-Semitic stuff.

I just kinda like his way with words. He's like a real-life Nic Cage character at this point. Still, I try not to judge.

guys I am now counting down the hours until Charlie Sheen makes the claim that he has ascended a la Michael Shanks's character in Stargate

Don't take it personal, it's the internet.

And, real talk, if your complaint here is actually earnest, that's cute and you should get over yourself.

Anyway, who is this Charlie Sheen, and do I want to know? - he looks to me a bit like Simon Cowell, which makes the answer no.

Current events: a delegate from my county is a co-sponsor of the marriage equality bill in Maryland. He ran on a platform that included marriage equality and received a lot of donations and support from the LBGT community. Now that the bill is actually up for vote, he's suddenly not sure if he's going to vote for it. People on his FB page are tearing him a new one.

In that it is run by the fictional character Kenny Powers? No. In that it is run by actor Jonah Hill? I want to say it is, but I remember there being some confusion when it first popped up.

Well I mean that was it being run by the actor Danny McBride or the writers of Eastbound and Down

real talk though i am honestly kind of surprised that considering how much you guys loved that one thread about dov charney you are all getting such a bug up your collective asses about a couple of threads that are basically just pictures of charlie sheen looking annoyed/quotes about charlie sheen being insane, i mean it's pretty obvious nobody here actually likes or admires him like even a little bit at all. personally i just think he is a legitimately funny dude to look at
