''Haha did you see that episode where Charlie was beating those baby seals to death? That was hilarious!'' *breaking news: Charlie Sheen was arrested today for beating a bunch of baby seals to death.* .... ''that monster! How could he do such a thing? What a horrible person!''

Christ, forget I said anything.  I think it's quite clear what I was saying, but I forget, people will make any attempt to argue a point and discredit anything that makes even the remotest amount of sense.

I wasn't arguing against you, I was just saying that no one should be looking up to Charlie Sheen in the first place.

The point is why is it okay to glamorize that sort of lifestyle in a TV character when we wouldn't condone it in real life?

Why is Cartman on all of these South Park t-shirts when he idolizes Hitler and made a kid eat his parents in a bowl of chili?  Sane people know the difference between reality and fiction, and if they enjoy Charlie and Cartman's antics on the screen then people will write for them.  Its fine in fiction till it gets into real life.  

Cartman's a terrible example of what you're trying to say.  The show makes no attempt to glamorize what Cartman does.  In the commentaries Parker and Stone openly refer to him as a retard and a shithead.  Cartman's funny and enjoyable to watch, but it's not an attempt to associate what makes him entertaining, relatable, and at times sympathetic as a character with the terrible things he does.

Maybe not.  I haven't watched Two and a Half Men in a very long time but I never really felt sympathetic to Charlie's character the few times I saw it.  I was thinking of another hugely over-the-top character to make a comparison to, but I feel my comment about sane people knowing the difference between reality and fiction still stands.  Also, that point Kev made about the real Charlie's violence towards his wife and cocaine usage is kind of valid as well.  I don't think we'd really be having a discussion about Charlie Sheen now if all he did was consensually bang random girls when he wanted to.

Plus, being entertained by a character on a television show is not real life.  Look at a character like Tony Soprano.  By and large, he was a very likable character (although a lot less so near the end of the series) despite being a mafia boss.  Would the average person be a fan of a mafia boss in real life?  Of course not.  It is just different.

An interesting article suggesting that Charlie Sheen's latest outbursts may be manic episodes by someone suffering from bi-polar disorder:

https://todmaffin.com/mania

Quote
These are actual, verbatim quotes from Charlie Sheen on Monday night’s Piers Morgan Tonight (CNN).

    * “Can’t we just be in a pink cloud all our lives, and just be be super bitchin’ and be focused like cross-rays into the universe?”
    * “I feel more alive. I feel more focused. I feel more energetic. My workouts are really intense.”
    * “I’m on a quest to claim absolute victory across the board on every front…”
    * “I have a 10,000-year-old brain.”
    * “I’ve been riding on a mercury surfboard…”
    * “I’m on a mission. It’s an operation, actually…”
    * “I’m at the dead epicentre of every single moment…”
    * “I’m on a rocketship to the moon…”
    * “I heal really fast…”
    * [Did you get out of control?] “Well yeah! I don’t have another gear!”
    * “We live in an evil world.”
    * “I’m fighting a war. There’s no room for sensitivity.”
    * “Every great movement begins with one man, and that’s me.”

If you know someone who lives with bi-polar disorder and you hear phrases like the ones above (grandiose, paranoid, “Suddenly everything is clear” statements, or other out-of-touch phrases), they are in trouble. Find a way to get them to medical attention immediately. It’s not a joke. And it’s nothing to make fun of.

UPDATE: A couple of additional quotes — these aren’t harmless, everyday “metaphors,” as some have claimed. These are pathological statements:

    * “You borrow my brain for five seconds and just be, like, Dude, can’t handle it, unplug this bastard because, yeah, it fires in a way that is maybe not from this particular terrestrial realm.”— Charlie Sheen on ABC
    * “I am on a drug. It’s called Charlie Sheen. It’s not available because if you try it once you will die. Your face will melt off and your children will weep over your exploded body.”— Charlie Sheen on ABC
    * “Newsflash, I am special and I will never be one of you.“— Charlie Sheen on the Infowars radio show

NOTE: ABC Television gave Charlie Sheen a urine test for drugs, including cocaine and amphetamines — he came up clean for at least the last week. This isn’t drug-induced, at least not short-term use.

    “Most individuals with bipolar disorder do not perceive their manic episodes as needing treatment, and they resist entering treatment. In fact, most people report feeling very good during the beginning of a manic episode, and don’t want it to stop. This is a serious judgment problem. As the manic episode progresses, concentration becomes difficult, thinking becomes more grandiose, and problems develop.” — PsychologyInfo.com

Features of a Manic Episode

    * Extreme irritability & distractibility
    * Excessive “high” or euphoric feelings
    * Sustained periods of unusual, even bizarre, behavior with significant risk-taking
    * Increased energy, activity, rapid talking & thinking, agitation
    * Decreased sleep
    * Unrealistic belief in one’s own abilities
    * Poor judgment
    * Increased sex drive
    * Substance abuse
    * Provocative or obnoxious behavior
    * Denial of problem

If you wouldn’t make fun of someone with cancer, you shouldn’t be poking fun at Charlie Sheen.

Today I saw a video of someone going through a manic episode in Abnormal Psychology. The stuff she was doing was very similar to what Sheen is currently doing.

I have to say I sometimes watched Two and A Half Men when it was on during the day here, I never really minded it. I didn't really know anything about Charlie Sheen in real life though, and for the whole "How come you liked it on Two And A Half Men but not in real life?":

Two and a Half Men is a lot more toned down. He drinks a lot and brings home a different woman every night, but on TV loads of people bring home more women in a year than most people do in their lives in real life, just because its TV. So Charlie in comparison to them is not much worse, so in TV terms that's him being not much worse than the average womaniser (or even average single American guy, according to sitcoms). Also, Charlie on Two and a Half men isn't shown doing cocaine most of the time, and his arrogance and enjoyment of his lifestyle is portrayed rather comically.

Then there's the whole "liking a character on a TV show isn't the same as supporting them in real life". Tony Soprano and Cartman are good examples of this. Enjoying something on TV doesn't mean you have to like the people doing that in real life.

Also, for me (I don't know about anyone else) I always took Two and a Half Men to be a send up of that type of person - I didn't necessarily assume the actor agreed with what the character was saying any more than I assume James Gandolfini agrees with Tony Soprano.
