Charlie Sheen is the new Chuck Norris

The ABC interview's high point for me was him answering one question with a lit cigarette dangling from his mouth.

Yeah, he's probably starting to climb on most people's celebrity death lists.

From Ferris Bueller's Day Off:

Charlie Sheen: "Drugs?"
Jeanie Bueller: "Thank you, no. I'm straight."
Charlie Sheen: "I meant, are you in here for drugs?"
Jeanie Bueller: "Why are you here?"
Charlie Sheen: "Drugs."

He was also on TMZ for an hour this morning rattling off more craziness. The scariest part was when he mentioned that his children are in the house and "all these people" (2 porn stars, random dude from Major League 3 and another random dude) are raising them.

eeeeeeek.

Also @1, I'd say Charlie Sheen is the new Gary Busey....

@5 has Charlie threatened to pull out anyone's endocrine system from their body yet?

Sheen is more Hunter S Thompson than River Pheonix. He isn't going to party himself to death.

ABC gave him a drug test during the interview, and it was negative. The crazy quotes are all him.

Mr. Sheen obviously has a severe mental health condition (I'm guessing bipolar disorder co-presenting with at least one other personality disorder combined with drug addiction probably from years of attempted "self-medication" - a very common scenario). It's too bad we plaster the airwaves and cyberspace with his seemingly bizarre behavior and make fun of it, somehow because it's a mental condition it's not a real health issue, whereas we don't go plastering the airwaves with people suffering from diabetes, cancer, or herpes. Physical illnesses aren't funny somehow, but mental illnesses are because they're bizarre and good TV, even though it's a literal hell both for the person with the mental illness and for his family (my, God, think what his kids have been living through for years now).

Yeah, I'm a party pooper.

Dude's brain is still not right from that kind of chach run - although I highly doubt he was really "banging 7 gram rocks" unless he was buying some really shitty stuff.

@12: We make fun of it because he's a wealthy celebrity with every opportunity in the world to get help and he refuses it. Not because we are unaware that he has mental health problems, you arrogant turd.

@12, 16, 17: Yeah, not funny. This is obviously a mental health issue, not the normal runaway ego of a celeb. I am sure that W. S. Humphrey didn't know that. If he had ever seen the manic phase up close he would not have posted this as a piece of humor.

@19, we should bear in mind that swings between mania and depression also feature in withdrawal. Yeah, the nexus between bipolar disorder and substance abuse can be complex, but a celebrity seeking to showcase either one, and the media leaping to accommodate him, is blackly funny.

Dark comedy simply is what it is.

@18: It may be that Sheen isn't rational enough right now to understand that he needs help. And I would guess that, unlike yourself, most of the people out there who are making fun of him actually don't understand that they are witnessing the rantings of a mentally ill person, and not just the spoutings of a self-absorbed buffoon.

On one issue Sheen is correct. AA is a failure. Only 5% of its new members are still sober after one year. They tell people they are powerless and that they must rely on faith healing to remain sober. The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals declared that AA is religious.
http://articles.sfgate.com/2007-09-08/ba…

Check out some facts about AA at The Orange Papers:
http://www.orange-papers.org/

Here is blog called Stinkin Thinkin where people do a searching and fearless moral inventory of the 12 steps:

If you are dealing with an addiction there are effective programs like SMART Recovery which teaches self empowerment. Remember that you are not powerless and that abstinence is exactly the same thing as sobriety.

@20: Well, I suppose all forms of mental illness have the potential to be "dark comedy" if you put the mentally ill person in social situations where normal behavior is expected -- and if you think that sort of thing is funny. But when W. S. Humphrey says, "He's gonna end up killing himself—but it'll be fun to watch!," I can only assume that he's thinking of Sheen as just a pompous ass, and not a mentally ill person.

People with treatable mental health problems should avoid AA. It is very common in 12 step groups for sponsors and others to pressure members to stop taking psychiatric medications. This has caused many people to have a return of their symptoms and has lead to suicides. One interesting thing we have learned from people who use anti depressants is that when the medicine alleviates depression they stop drinking because it was the depression that drove them to use addictive substances. This tends to blow the disease theory of addiction right out of the water. Stanton Peele has challenged the idea that alcoholism is a disease:

@18 Plenty of poor people are non-compliant with treatment. Although I get enjoying the spectacle of suffering celebs or rich people. Tends to make the proles feel good about their own shitty lives.

p.s. One of the methods AA uses to break people down is ego deflation. People who are depressed do not need to have their self confidence knocked down. They need that valuable tool built up to fight depression and to stop drinking. Here is how one AA member explains it:

"Our traditions are key elements in the ego deflation process necessary to achieve and maintain sobriety in Alcoholics Anonymous. The first tradition reminds me not to take credit, or authority, for my recovery. ...Deferring my personal desires for the greater good of group growth contributes toward A.A. unity that is central to all recovery. It helps me to remember that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts."

Since Slog is heavily populated by atheists, and agnostics, I feel compelled to say, if you are seeking a secular alternative to AA, try SOS (secular organizations for society): http://www.cfiwest.org/sos/index.htm

He & Mel Gibson ought to be JO buddies!

And I DO know about mental illness. Too much, in fact. My first (and, thus far, only) lover started having psychotic breaks in '04, 11 yrs into a pretty good relationship. It was a living hell that totally ruined things. I could go on and on. Suffice it to say that it's often as hellish for loved ones as it is for the mentally ill person.

And YEP! Charlie's batshit crazy!

these are Epic! I still can't believe some of the videos and quotes he's been posting online to try to "prove" he is sane enough to take care of the kids. Even funnier are the T-shirts, websites, wallpapers, etc that have come out to make fun of him. Check out this company's latest Charlie Theme Browser theme. Too funny! http://thunderthemes.com/BT_ThemePage.ph…
