im with plan on this one. sheen is well on his way to becoming the forgotten "has-been" like so many others before him. dennis rodman, micheal jackson, britney spears, chris rock, chris tucker. its almost like they all lined up at birth, shuffled across a stage lit by spotlights and camera flashes and once they got across and didnt want the party to end, just just waved their arms and shit themselves in hopes of not being forgotten for a few more seconds. i will say though that to my ultimate disappointment, (American) people are becoming more and more obsessed with outdoing one another with shock value and vulgarity. the perfect example is 4chan. a bunch of mental juveniles competing for attention in a virtual place where someone wont beat the shit out of them for saying that 9/11 is funny or that egging someone on to suicide "for teh lulz" is sick in the worst way possible.
its truly a sad time when getting what you earn is for chumps and being successful is looking down the social ladder and kicking whoever is behind you instead of giving them a boost while grasping at the feet of those just above. I'm oddly reminded of the movie "gladiator" where the emperor wanted his people to love him so he put on the craziest games of all time: fights to the death. its worrisome that with so many influential people putting themselves first, they aren't helping anyone else out and by extension, are contributing nothing to the survival and improvement of mankind. i really hope that American entertainment (and society for that matter) aren't completely fucked, but i'm not so sure anymore. the massive apple tree that once rewarded everyone willing to work to pick their own fruit is quickly wilting from too much manure in an attempt to get more apples for less work
