Ho boy. Listen here:

Or read the highlights here:
https://warmingglow.uproxx.com/2011/02/charlie-sheen-aint-care
I think when he was talking about Warlock assassins he actually was joking, but otherwise this whole thing is insane.
Perhaps the best part is when he said he will either love or hate you violently. I wish Alex Jones had gone for the obvious joke:
Sheen "If I love you, I will love you violently."
Jones "You mean rape them?"
Actually I take that back. Nothing will ever top "I'm an F-18 bro." I can't even think about it without laughing.
-
If Sheen doesn't have a meme based around him already, I'd be very surprised if he doesn't by the end of the week.
I mean, the guy's practically caught hilarious-quote-salmonella.
-
Newsflash: I am special, and I will never be one of you! I have a disease? Bullshit! I cured it with my brain, with my mind.
-
That was priceless. I'm an F-18, bro! :lol
-
I think I'm the only person that thinks he's fucking awesome.
-
:lol :lol :lol :lol
That was hilarious. At least he's not threatening to get cops to kill his wife this time...
-
I think I'm the only person that thinks he's fucking awesome.
Well, clearly he does too, so you're not alone.

"I gracefully ignored this folly for 177 shows ... I fire back once and this contaminated little maggot can't handle my power and can't handle the truth. I wish him nothing but pain in his silly travels especially if they wind up in my octagon. Clearly I have defeated this earthworm with my words -- imagine what I would have done with my fire breathing fists. I urge all my beautiful and loyal fans who embraced this show for almost a decade to walk with me side-by-side as we march up the steps of justice to right this unconscionable wrong."
:biggrin: AWESSOMMMEE
-
If I were that famous I would act this way just for the fun of it too!
The man is fucking hilarious.

https://www.tmz.com/2011/02/24/charlie-sheen-chuck-lorre-two-and-a-half-men-war-show-bahamas-octagon/
He wants to fight Chuck Lorre too, the guy that created the show. Apparently Sheen thinks he owns it.
Perhaps obviously, CBS has shut down production.
-
Yeah, thank god, now we can all join him drinking in celebration!
-
i dont know why (well, too muc wine) but im laughing my butt off thinking about outlandish quotes and celebrities and it's funyn

Sheen's response to the hold on production:
What does this say about Haim Levine [Chuck Lorre] after he tried to use his words to judge and attempt to degrade me. I gracefully ignored this folly for 177 shows ... I fire back once and this contaminated little maggot can't handle my power and can't handle the truth. I wish him nothing but pain in his silly travels especially if they wind up in my octagon. Clearly I have defeated this earthworm with my words -- imagine what I would have done with my fire breathing fists. I urge all my beautiful and loyal fans who embraced this show for almost a decade to walk with me side-by-side as we march up the steps of justice to right this unconscionable wrong.
Remember these are my people ... not yours...we will continue on together...
Charlie Sheen
Well then. If Two and a Half Men is canceled, can someone please give Charlie a reality show?
-
This is pure gold!

I'm kinda torn on the guy. On the one hand, he seems to be a real jackass. He thinks he's more powerful than the people who employ him and that almost never works out well. His antics will cost plenty of people who relied on him their livelihood, as well. He'd really be best served by keeping his damn mouth shut.
On the other hand, he seems to be doing exactly what he wants to with his life. Mainly doing blow and banging porn stars. I can think of many much less rewarding lifestyles. And, unlike the majority of people, he's not the slightest bit embarrassed or ashamed about it. He's not doing anything egregious or evil. I say more power to him.
Now to be clear, I don't approve of how he's doing this, I just have no problem with what he's doing. Personally, I'd be playing the game quite a bit different then he is. There's no reason to be so antagonistic and the amount of cola he's doing is going to kill him very quickly. I'd love to be able to lead a life with of such wretched excess, but I think I'd manage my debauchery a whole lot better than he is.
-

I don't think he even tries to manage his debauchery. I mean, one day he is going to end up dead from all the drugs or a washed up used-to be celebrity confined to late-night talk shows and older comeback attempts, but I don't think he's really a think-ahead kind of guy. The reason I like him is because, with all of the other celebrities constantly wearing a mask and pretending to be much less ignorant and debaucherous and immoral than they are, he's almost a breath of fucked up fresh air in a way.
-
I think I'm the only person that thinks he's fucking awesome.
He's awesome if threatening to kill your wife with a knife is awesome. Honestly i have NO idea how this guy has a career after the trouble he's been in.
-
I'll give him this: he introduced me to the idea that one can be a social crack-user.
-
In the words of Charlie Sheen, "Win". :lol
-

He makes money on TV and they want money. Notice how he hasn't had a huge movie career really because he's not a huge box office draw.
-
He was vey good in Spin City which was a catalist for him to do this show.
Besides, would you say the same about Robert Downey Jr? Think if he was never given a chance again.
-
I think I'm the only person that thinks he's fucking awesome.
THANK YOU!
Recalling an old El Barto wisdom when I asked why does Tiger Woods give a flying fuck what people think of him personally and why people give a flying fuck what he does in his private life, El Barto said it was because we have turned into this crying apologetic Oprah-influenced society.
All I need to know about Sheen is that he was hilarious in the Hot Shots movies, he could rape pigs in his spare time for all I care.
-
That was the most insane ramble I ever heard. Listening to it has got to be the guiltiest pleasure ever...and its fat free and zero calories.
-
He wants to fight Chuck Lorre too, the guy that created the show. Apparently Sheen thinks he owns it.
Considering he is one of the titular characters, he kinda does.

Honestly i have NO idea how this guy has a career after the trouble he's been in.
Most of his recent career has been a playful reference on that real life persona. On Spin City, he was Charlie Crawford, and on Two and a Half Men Charlie Harper. Both roles were to some extent just tamed down, TV-cutified versions of who he really is. He's kept a career because he's been cleverly put into roles that acknowledge who he is and make light of it, which I think softens the blow when news of his real-life antics gets out unless it's really serious. People just think, "oh well, that's Charlie". And considering that, as el Barto said, there are a lot of people who could think of worse lifestyles than his, it actually appeals to a sizeable audience.
-
:eek I just made a Warlock|Assassin Hybrid D&D character yesterday...
-
So apparently the vatican assassin/warlock assassin thing was an inside joke between Charlie, Alex Jones, and a baseball player. I mean, it still doesn't make any freaking sense, but that bit wasn't completely random. I'm not sure why I listened to the whole twenty minutes rather than out of morbid curiosity. It was pretty hilarious how during the whole thing they're like "oh man the mainstream media's going to spin this," like everything was a big joke that they were in on. If it weren't for the whole insulting Chuck Lorre thing it might've just been a hilarious, Kanye-like rant moment, but now its cost him his job. Oh well.
A side note for anyone who's played GTA4: doesn't he sound like Brucie whenever he talks about winning? :lol
-
Sometimes I can't help but think that I would love to be Charlie Sheen. Not because I would love to do what he does, but because he doesn't seem to have a worry in the world. He doesn't bang porn stars and strippers then ask, "What kind of effect will this have on my children?" He just goes and does it. And he never gets stressed about it.
It's 100% wrong, sure. But it's probably easier than actually, you know, being caring and competent. :lol

I think 2 and a half men is a pretty cool guy, eh does cocaine and screws porn stars and doesn't afraid of anything.
-
Imagine playing yourself. Drugging, whoring, drinking and getting paid for it?! Who's the fool.
-
This interview may represent the best use of 18 minutes in my life ever.
-
I just have this to say:
:corn
-
Wait, Two and a Half Men got cancelled?
Where's that one smiley thats cheering and throws his fist in the air or something?
-

I'm not ashamed to say I've listened to it several times already. I want an mp3 of it, it's a comedy gold mine of the likes we haven't seen in a long time. I have hundreds of GB on my compute HD...might as well use some of it.
-
All you, "OMG THIS IS SO AWESOME!" people in this thread represent what is so FUCKED UP with our society. What the hell is wrong with you people? I mean, seriously. Charlie Sheen isn't someone you should be looking up to. This isn't the real Charlie Sheen, it's what's happening to someone who is about to fall - and, fall very hard. I really feel bad for the guy. Even his own father is saying how sad it is.
Honestly, anyone who thinks this whole situation is "funny" should be downright ashamed of themself.
-
Who said anything about looking up to him? He's an adult and if he wants to do all that self destructive shit and clearly not care why should anyone care? It has absolutely no bearing on my life whatsoever.
-

Did you miss page one of this thread? Secondly - "why should anyone care?" Because he's a human being?
-
Did you miss page one? Just because people are laughing and not minding doesn't mean they look up to him. No one on here is that dumb, come on.
And unless I interact with someone on a regular basis in my life I don't really care if they engage in self destructive behavior. Plus like I said, he's an adult. He can make his own choices.
-
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I in no way look up to Charlie Sheen, but that radio bit was funny as hell.
-
Okay, I apologize for my rant. But, I just don't see anything funny about this. I think it's easy for people on the outside to look at this stuff and laugh, but I can GUARANTEE you that if this were [random DTF member].... Nick's brother (or whoever's brother), none of you people would be laughing about it. You'd be going off about how "sad" it is and how, "he's in your prayers." That's all I'm saying.
But, I'll stop. Carry on.
-
Most people would have the same amount of apathy, they'd just appear like they really give a shit.

I don't think anyone is laughing at the fact that the man is losing a battle with drug addiction and fame. I think it's the phrases he would use, and the things he said, despite his circumstance.

Passed his drug tests, apparently. The problem with that is how little coke takes to get out of your system. He could have sobered up just to take the tests quite easily.

You make me want to be a better person SE. All your posts have opened my eyes. *sarcasm off*

He's clearly got it straight. I'm going to die someday, might as well go out enjoying life.
-
Here's the way I look at it: Charlie Sheen is an entertainer. He just entertained me. I'd say he's doing his job.
-
He's gonna be on Good Morning America tomorrow :caffeine:
-
He's gonna be on Good Morning America tomorrow :caffeine:
I do not think he will be acting in a similar fashion. In the radio bit, he seemed to making a lot of inside jokes that seemed weird to us because we weren't in on them. I have a feeling he is not as far gone as we all might believe. I hope, for his sake that he is not. :)
-
They showed excerpts, I think he will be. He said he's on a drug called Charlie Sheen and nobody else could take it because it would melt their faces off.

It's not just the radio segment. When he tells his boss that he's a maggot after the production of his show is suspended, something is clearly wrong.
-
Could be with anything though. Obviously it might be just two egos clashing but you can't tell me you've never had a shitty boss before.
-
when you put the auido on, sync it with kill the king by megadeth. you're welcome.

Yeah, except the porn stars say he CAN'T screw them because he's too high or jacked up all the time. Sounds pretty pathetic to me.

-
A window washer high outside a Manhattan tower was suddenly plunging to the street after his rigging failed. He faced certain death as the ground rushed to meet him. But at the last possible moment he bounced off an awning that broke his fall. He landed on the sidewalk without a scratch.
"Look at that," a passer-by said to a friend. "That guy is really lucky."
"Oh, he's not so lucky," the friend replied. "I'll tell you who's lucky: Charlie Sheen is lucky!"
After a while luck runs out. This guy is a dumbassed joke.
-
If Two and a Half Men is canceled, can someone please give Charlie a reality show?
Brilliant idea. I'd watch that.
-
So far folks. They only canceled the rest of this season. But the way Charlie is talking, it doesn't sound good.
And for you Kings X lovers,

Here's a story and videos from his morning show interviews
https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/02/28/charlie-sheen-on-today-de_n_828993.html
"I am on a drug," Sheen said. "It's called Charlie Sheen. It's not available because if you try it you will die. Your face will melt off and your children will weep over your exploded body."

Charlie a Raiders of the Lost Ark fan I see.
-
This is more entertaining than that show ever was :lol
-
I retract my former statements.
-
Also, from a psychological point of view, it's semi-possible that he isn't on drugs, but instead simply in a very manic state.
But it's probably drugs.
-
Drugs or not, douchebag or not, that interview on Good Morning America today was hysterical. He's got charisma at the very least :lol

More. Unreal:

I want a shirt with Sheen's face on it, and below it says "We're high priest Vatican assassin warlocks".
I'd wear that shirt until it fell apart.

Did you make that yourself? If so, you should change the caption to "I'm an F-18 bro!"
That would be funny. :)
-
What is sooooo damn sad is this guy is so far gone delusional, that we'll all be talking about his death reeeeaaall soon I'm sure. He needs some major help.
-
I think he is definitely a bit off of his rocker, but part of this is total shtick. In one of those interviews, at one point he gave a sly little grin that was almost his way of saying, "I am going over the top with this, just for fun."

I don't understand why people are spinning this away from "Charlie Sheen is a crazy person." You have to be really mentally unbalanced for this to be your shtick.

Or maybe he's just a great actor.
OKAY, you're probably right.

Not really spinning anything. I just think part of it has to be shtick.
And LOL at anyone who is happy at the show (or any show) being cancelled. Here's a new idea: if you don't like the show, don't freaking watch it. I am not even that big a fan of it, but who cares if millions love it?
-
Sometimes popular shows that people keep watching because it used to be funny keep other, better shows from getting ratings. From what I've seen The Big Bang Theory is alright but it can pretty much coast now and it sucks ratings from a show like Community which way smarter and better of a show.

You think it's better. I think it's better. But what cosmic force says Community should be on instead of Two and a Half Men? There is none. Two and a Half Men makes more money and has more viewers. That's why shows get made. If Two and a Half Men didn't get ratings or make money, I'd understand what you're saying more. Plus, think about the cast and crew who have reliable income because of the show. Why do they deserve to suffer?

As entertaining as Sheen is, and as much as I hate to be over-dramatic, TempusVox is right. This is the kind of insanity that goes along with a life-threatening mentality. Maybe he won't die... now, but I can't imagine the self-destructive behaviors he'd indulge in given his current state of mind.
-
He made a point in an interview I saw last night. His character on Two and a Half Men is a womanizing alcohol guzzler that was constantly banging different chicks all the time. A character that people seemed to enjoy. Then when he plays that character in real life, he gets shit for it.

I enjoy a lot of fictional characters that I wouldn't want to meet in real life.
-
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?
-
Two big differences:
1. The TV character doesn't do dangerous, illegal drugs all of the time.
2. The TV character doesn't have a history of violence against women.
-
Cocain and violence aside, if Charlie Sheen was a total alcoholic and banging a different chick every other day, people would insist he needed an intervention.

I'm calling an OD in the next 5 years.

Since not everybody posts in P&R, I thought I would repost this here:
"Charlie Sheen v Muammar Gaddafi: whose line is it anyway?"
https://www.guardian.co.uk/world/quiz/2011/mar/01/muammar-gaddafi-charlie-sheen-quiz
-
Pete Doherty. Amy Winehouse. Scott Weiland. Robert Downey Jr. Hunter Thompson. Keith Richards.
These people were all far more out of control than Sheen at some point in their lives. Four of them were on my yearly deathlist at one point or another. All of them seem to have come out of it OK or lived long and productive lives. Charlie Sheen might drop dead in 18 minutes, but he might keep up this pace for another couple of years and then decide to mellow out. There's risk in everything you do, and while he might be pushing the odds a bit more than we do just driving to work, there's still a perfectly reasonable chance that he comes out of this just fine. He's certainly pushing the envelope, but he seems to be enjoying 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.
-
I was worried about Charlie, but then he proclaimed "He has Tiger blood in him"... so that solves it.

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.

Anyone who glamorizes a TV character from Two and a Half Men probably has bigger mental issues than Charlie Sheen himself.

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 (https://todmaffin.com/mania)
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.

""The run I was on made Sinatra, Flynn, Jagger, Richards look like droopy-eyed harmless children."
-
Notice how he left Mustaine off that list.
-
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.
-
Notice how he left Mustaine off that list.
He isn't nearly as well-known though.

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.

We need more people like Sheen.
I'd rather have a conversation with this guy than that robot who did the interview with him. I hate people who have no opinion. On TV or not.
-
i wouldn't go so far as to say he's awesome. He's an Anti semite. That's not cool at all. He said he wanted to kill his "Jew Pig" manager. I don't know many people who use the words "Jew pig" who are awesome.

Ho boy. Listen here:

Or read the highlights here:
https://warmingglow.uproxx.com/2011/02/charlie-sheen-aint-care
I think when he was talking about Warlock assassins he actually was joking, but otherwise this whole thing is insane.
Perhaps the best part is when he said he will either love or hate you violently. I wish Alex Jones had gone for the obvious joke:
Sheen "If I love you, I will love you violently."
Jones "You mean rape them?"
Actually I take that back. Nothing will ever top "I'm an F-18 bro." I can't even think about it without laughing.

Responsible, Thoughtful Nation Decides To Ignore Charlie Sheen Situation
LOS ANGELES—Calling the situation "none of our business" and "not worth a second of our time, quite frankly," a responsible and thoughtful U.S. populace uniformly decided this week to ignore Charlie Sheen's recent outbursts, saying they had far more important things to focus on than a sitcom actor's personal troubles. "When Mr. Sheen's public meltdown began, I immediately recognized how a Hollywood star's crisis could be voyeuristically appealing, which is exactly why I said to myself, 'I am better than that; Charlie Sheen's attention-seeking behavior undermines my intelligence, and the sooner I ignore it, the sooner it will go away,'" said 41-year-old Denver accounts coordinator Margaret Atkins, who along with the rest of the nation has paid no attention to Sheen's situation, and has spent the majority of her time concentrating on the unrest in Libya, the collective-bargaining debate in the Midwest, and the health and well-being of her own family. "Not only have I chosen to ignore Mr. Sheen, but thankfully so has the American media, which has once again shown journalistic decency by only reporting the news that people legitimately need to know." Charlie Sheen was not sought out for comment

I'm not sure because I haven't been paying a lot of attention to this, but has anybody made reference to the young Charlie Sheen "Drugs? No thanks, I'm straight. I mean are you in here for drugs? What are you in here for? Drugs." scene from Ferris Bueller during all of this? I would think that would be a comedy goldmine right there!

I'm just gonna come out and say that...I love Charlie Sheen. He's hilarious. I'm keeping up with everything being said about him in the media and I make absolutely no apology for it, because it's 100% entertaining. I know it's stupid, I know there are other things in the news I should care about, but fuck it...this is just too much fun.
