Anyone else feel thats its wrong that charlie sheen is getting more attention then people who are getting killed in other countries who are in our military? I heard some people got killed recently but I only read about it on a website and never saw it on the news. I just think its wrong that sheen is a more important topic. I mean obviously its considered more entertaining for the media but still...mention those who died at least outta respect?
 
Yeah there's already a facebook status message floating around about that. Got it on mine.
 
Its true my sister is an afghan right now and she told me alot of crazy stuff that doesn't make it to the news but the charlie sheen is just every where because of others reasons and his news falls into another subject of news I'm sure if you watch world news they'lll show stories of the fallen men and women of war .
 
It's all about ratings and soldiers dying doesn't really get people running to their televisions.
 
And Yet ...

... here we are talkin' about him , thus adding to all that attention he's been receiving recently.

Not to mention that there's not only one , but two 'Sheen' threads in addition to this one on the first page alone of GenDis ... w/another floating around somewhere on page 2. Clearly there is some interest in Charlie Sheen.

So , is it that we are reacting to the media's mass coverage of Sheen? ... or is the media simply covering what the public is interested in.


Just askin'.
 
To me at least its not so much interest in sheen himself its why the media feels that he deserves all this attention. Im not interested in him im curious to whyyy they bring him up in every single thing...kinda like how snooki was lol. But no interest in the guy and I didnt watch his show either. I dont think everyone in the public cares to be honest haha.
 
Diana, I absolutely agree with you! Charlie Sheen is getting WAY too much attention. He's a rich, spoiled actor who got fired? BFD! The soldiers risking their lives in wars in all countries are FAR more important news then Sheen is, ever was, or ever should be!

^Exactly...charlie brown maybe? haha

I wonder if he'll be wearing his "Winning" shirt when he's on the slab?


...but then again, the ad man in me can't help but suspect another "Joaquin Phoenix" ruse... and this will all end in a promo for a new charlie Movie.

But that kinda fell flat for Joaquin, didn't it.
 
I totally forgot about that but i didnt expect it from him lol I thought he seriously went psycho haha. Ya I didnt see that movie he was making during that whole thing but I heard it was weak.
 
If people didn't want to see this nonsense, they wouldn't tune in. It's unfortunate that Americans are too lazy to change the channel or feel like they have any say in what gets aired (a channel with no viewers gets no ratings).
 
charlie sheen is very important! where else am i to turn for weekend inspiration?
 
Charlie Sheen is awesome, I'm putting him as my religion in the 2011 Census. Have you seen some of his quotes? Life changing stuff. A few of my favourites:

"Panicking is for amateurs and morons."
"The run I was on made Sinatra, Flynn, Jagger and Richards look like droopy-eyed armless children."
"Sorry my life is so much more bitchin’ than yours. I planned it that way."
"It’s been a tsunami. And I’ve been riding it on a mercury surfboard."
"Your face will melt off and your children will weep over your exploded body."

Long live Charlie Sheen. Although if history has taught us anything its that a man with a drugs problem, and a lot of time and money on his hands, probably won't.

haha yes! there was a thing in one of the newspapers over here where it had quotes from sheen and gaddafi and you had to guess who said what. the sensible one were from gaddafi.

oh one thing though, nobody out-drugs or out-drinks kieth richards. that is when i realised he had lost it.

Let us dream to the extent of saying that on a given Sunday night the time normally occupied by Ed Sullivan is given over to a clinical survey of the state of American education, and a week or two later the time normally used by Steve Allen is devoted to a thoroughgoing study of American policy in the Middle East. Would the corporate image of their respective sponsors be damaged? Would the stockholders rise up in their wrath and complain? Would anything happen other than that a few million people would have received a little illumination on subjects that may well determine the future of this country, and therefore the future of the corporations?" - Edward R.
