I don't think they are that far apart, politics and acting.

Both involve pretending to be someone you really aren't, adjusting your schtick to appeal to different audiences, and an emphasis on outward appearances.

Sheen finally is funny. His rants and mindless, cocaine-powered babbling are soo funny.

Now, the bufoon wants to sue WB and get a pay raise. What's up with that??? Just give him a **** test, lock him up, try, convict and lock him away for good.

Agreed. I've never understood the appeal of any of these shows, his in particular. Good riddance to bad garbage, as they say.

How would I know , I do know that drug abuse doen't improve ones long term prospects usually. The Brain tends to be compromised along with general health.............Drug abuse my be a symptom.........abuse as a child, overwhelming disappointment. A man told me once he thought God wanted him to be an alcoholic. Full of doubt I asked what made him think that. He said, his family started him drinking at the age of two. I believe that there was a generational kind of abuse being passed. Like a DISEASE. Call it what you like . Maybe a Behavioral Disease. and it's not going away by accident.

This whole thread reminds me of the dynamics between Ferris Bueller and his sister in the movie Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Interestingly, Charlie Sheen played a druggie at the jail in the movie. And his character is the one who enlightens the sister that her problem is not with her brother, her problem is herself.

I think today has shown that he's not well.

This seems like a manic bipolar episode and shame on the media for playing it for laughs. Mental illness isn't funny.

Bipolar Disorder, I'm betting.

"Like cancer" is an odd analogy if Matin Sheen said that though.

Once again, who cares.....

I'm so sick of the rich and famous bitching about their poor overprivileged, overindulged lives.
