Is it just me?
« on: March 02, 2011, 02:46:31 PM »
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.

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.

Sheenglish - Where Charlie Sheen's crazy words come from. http://www.slate.com/id/2287380/

Sadly, no explicit mention of Tom, but  there is a section called Cult Leader.
"You want me to recognize you and I won't. I won't acknowledge you! I deny you. So you keep begging and begging. The door is slammed on you. I want nothing to do with you. You will die unrecognized by me."

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.
