“If I hear another story about Charlie Sheen I’m going to stick knitting needles in my ears till they bleed.” That was what a close friend told me after the last barrage of “Breaking News” stories about the “Two and a Half Men” star hit the airways. I can understand his frustration. The news media appears to be circling the Charlie Sheen camp like vultures circling a rotting carcass. It is the number one news story of the week. At least according to the media. But is this really anything new here in Tinsel Town?

Let me guess. Your name is Ira Schwartz.

I keep hearing how popular the show is, I didn’t even know it was still on the air.

Welcome to Fr noob.

I agree. Since when is Breaking News...Charlie Sheen released another video of him acting crazy...or Lindsay Lohan is on her way to court? Wish media had standards....

I know that Two and Half Men has its fans, but I can’t figure out why. The few times I’ve seen it I have noticed that the writing is not funny and the two major characters aren’t suited for comedy roles.

Charlie says his detractors have “Sheenis Envy”.

[N. Theknow]

Sheen has lost his luster.

The writers of that show are just a single generation away from fulfilling the prophecy of the mockumentary "Idiocracy" and the future TV hit series, "OW! My Balls!"

Apparently some people love juvenilia and ad nauseum, coarse, unfunny sexual innuendo.

How else to explain the recurring role of embarrassing Betty White as a sex-obsessed octogenarian?

The only reason Charlie Sheen should be in breaking news again is for dying. Not that I have anything against him, but he needs help and this fawning attention to his bizarre behavior is not doing him any good.

LOLz, Ira/Netminder. Your authoring name is under the byline. You filled the roll of blogpimp perfectly, whether knowingly or not.

I think Humblegunner has taken a tsunami sabbatical from his blogging overlording. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been the first to point this out to you.
