This group of offended people just can't wait to repeat, or replay, or act out, the latest outrageous thing that he has said for the day. Well, what this group does is no more than to carry on with tradition -- its normal media hypocrisy.
Yes, this week America probably has heard from and watched more stuff about Charlie Sheen, stuff that I can't say no one wants to know, because Charlie Sheen has a huge fan base, and a massive amount of followers on Twitter. There has been more Charlie Sheen stuff in the news this week than there has been about the upheaval in the middle East, and the mess in the Midwest, and the Prince William's royal wedding. And like his defenders say, he has not done a Col. Muammar el-Qaddaf and mowed down unarmed protesters. He has been accused of getting stoned out of his hard head, thrashing rooms and slapping a porn star or two.
