Title: Is it just me?

Or does it seem like Charlie Sheen has been taking a class in s-hit talking from Kid Jersey himself?  Lots of talk about faces melting.

If I was good at photoshop I'd make a picture of Sheen wearing a Newbridge is for Lovers tshirt.

It's not just you; I was just thinking yesterday that what bothers me about how this is all playing out, and the way a lot of people are reacting to each new outburst, is that all of the worst people in the world are now getting the same kind of genuine personal confidence boost from Sheen every day that I and everyone else here get from hearing Tom talk himself up. The number of jerks strutting around now with the word "WINNING" flashing inside their head.

Instead of the usual second-act turn where everything goes south because they get decadent, they get rewarded for their decadence. A lot of times, that is how it works. Creeps get rewarded for being creepy.

Thank you. I completely agree.  Anyone who makes even Mel Gibson seem interesting should be ignored, not mocked or venerated.

I thought Charlie Sheen has been more like a Wurster-esque character.

Sadly, no explicit mention of Tom, but  there is a section called Cult Leader.

Or does it seem like Charlie Sheen has been taking a class in s-hit talking from Kid Jersey himself?  Lots of talk about faces melting.

 It's just you, as always.

It would be weird if all of this was happening to Jon Cryer.

I just realized who I thought Hugman was talking about for a while there: The Kid from Brooklyn.
