I think the emphasis on the idea that this is not about drugs, is at the heart of the essay. It doesn't matter whether or not he's on drugs. It matters that he is flipping everyone the bird and we are (collectively) lapping it up.
I may be stuck in the Empire, according to Ellis (or is it Easton Ellis?) but I find Sheen just a tad boring (not to say he hasn't made me laugh, I just think he played the joke a several beats too long).
