Charlie just 'Half' a man
Edited on Wed Oct-27-10 11:43 AM by Renew Deal
Take a knife to your drunken wife on Christmas? No problem. Get your contract for the No. 1 sitcom on TV renewed for 100 million big ones.

Rat out your favorite madam and testify against the hookers who serviced you to save your own randy ass? Good! The TV gigs keep right on coming.

Come to town for the divorced-daddy date with your kids, and soon as they're in bed get out-of-control drunk. Now allegedly trash your hotel room while the hooker you picked up cowers in the bathroom and calls 911.

Skip jail, go to the hospital instead.

Welcome to the bizarro life of the most pitiful man on TV -- Charlie Sheen -- whose sheen, for me at least, wore off the minute he shot his first fiancée.

So, what is it? Why does the public still worship at his vomit-stained sneakers? Why do the Hollywood studios and TV networks look the other way while they are ready to string Mel Gibson up?

Simple. Charlie only hates, shoots, knifes, attacks and abuses women. He never said a bad word about race. Only gender.

2. Ever notice hate crime legislation never mentions women?
We're fair game, apparently.

3. Sheen's worth more money.

Gibson is old and played out. maybe we can write about age discrimination too?

It's about money, and always will be in my opinion. You have to understand corporate soulessness.

Sheen is a dangerous lunatic. But he MAKES MONEY.

People treat those in the sex trade as if they were less than human, which does not help. Even women often treat them badly. That's closer to the mark. I'm guessing he treats women he does not have sex with quite nicely, for all that's worth.

7. You do recognize the difference between offensive editorial cartoons and actual assault
Edited on Wed Oct-27-10 12:33 PM by blondeatlast
with a deadly weapon, of course.

I mean, of course you do.

And of course you recognize that men who assault women with deadly weapons are less than men. Of course.

8. Yes I was also being sardonic about Sheen.
Which is why I put 'man' in quotes.

16. It was perhaps a poor attempt at a joke.
Poorly timed and not funny, also a bit insensitive. I apologize for any offense.

playing Clearance Thomas and had to be drunk, sexist and abusive.
