If I were a believer I might think that God is sending us a message and the message is named Charlie Sheen. I'm always troubled by the way North American culture loves to build stars up so far beyond any reasonable level of fame and then relish in crucifying them. Happens every single day.
Charlie was the latest until little Rebecca Black came along. I feel sorry for this kid. Yes she sucks but no more than many music stars today. It's not her fault that millions of asswipes have nothing better to do in life than download her video and spend way too much time talking about it. And the hate mail. That's just shameful. Rebecca Black's fame is a symptom of a diseased culture. It is a reflection of us as a culture and that's why we hate it so. No wonder people react so strongly. They're recoiling from the truth.
As for Charlie, if you saw his surprise walk on on Jimmy Kimmel last week you saw a very drawn, scattered and emaciated looking figure. A reflection of North American popular culture.
El Bastardo!
