what do you guys think? i mean, hes going on tour... he has
T-SHIRTS now... so if he is crazy, he sure knows how to capitalize on it.
But at the same time, he clearly needs help, which he is not getting. I'm morally stuck. I find his antics hillarious, but at the same time, this train wreck will not end well.

I personally don't understand this whole matter at all nor the media treatment of the affair. Mr. SHEEN just seems to me like a spoiled brat that really never had to work for anything provided to/for him in life
The aspect that bothers me about it is that there is something about human nature that makes us seem to enjoy watching someone self-destruct and will even go out of our way to pay for it while others (media and such) simply look at it as a way to profit by it. I think it would be better for everyone if he was just quietly helped without getting any attention at all. Of course, he is the one doing the profiteering, so what can you do? However, if so many people didn't lap this stuff up, there would be no incentive to perpetuate this kind of sensationalism.

blow up your TV, going to the country....
I don't watch his tv series. I won't go to his live show. I don't care if he gets help or not. I'm just tired of seeing his face on "news" shows and all the rest of the mass media. We, as a society, seem to have a fascination with fame and a certain portion of society seems to delight in watching famous people self-destruct. This is not entertainment to me.
If others are willing to pay money to watch him spew his insane utterances and they want to buy the t-shirts they've got every right to do so. I just don't get it.
I barely watch TV and I don't read the news, so I don't know what he did or is doing. I'm going to resist the temptation to look it up and just rest easy knowing it must not be very important. The world would be better off ignoring 99% of celebrities anyway.

I think the topic is not worth discussing. Actually I find it so boring I don't care to comment on any aspect of it.
I don't have a TV so I don't really know what's going on. From the sounds of it, I'm not even going to look for it on the internet either.

I find your answers interesting.

Yup!
He seems more over-caffeinated than crazy. I find 2 1/2 Men funny.
I wonder if all this is a clever indirect scheme to promote the show and he'll come back to huge ratings.

Well you did though, didn't you.
I find the discussion encouraging because it shows that at least some people don't care about pop culture anymore, which to me is a good sign. Most celebrities, like most politicians (who are really the same as any other celebrity anymore) are completely out of touch with common people, and therefore completely out of touch with reality. I don't care what some actor or singer thinks. I don't care how many records they sell or if anyone watches their TV show. I don't care how they feel about any given issue. And I really don't care much about what happens to them. Pop culture is pretty much a non issue with me.
apparently his little tour thing is "tanking", which i'm not suprised. i've also heard rumours hes begging for his old job back. life must be rough when you aren't making 2 million an episode anymore :rolleye:
Now wait a minute! I like the guy! Very upstanding individual, large following, incredibly moralistic...
Oh, CHARLIE Sheen. I thought you said FULTON Sheen!!!
:roll
I thought his dad had an interesting role in Apocalypse Now! Martin Sheen was also Robert E. Lee in a reenactment of Gettysburg although I didn't think he looked anything the pictures of Robert E. Lee. And how come Lee wasn't tried and executed for treason anyway? If Jerry Lee lewis could get in trouble for his choices in brides, surely leading a rebellious army against the United States was much more serious.
