When we first started writing articles (or rather alessandra started posting articles), we really wanted to diversify our content compared to other blogs. I know what you’re thinking; Internet doesn’t need another opinion about an over-mediatized figure but the blog wouldn’t feel complete without my view of the Saga.
Every now and then you see washed up stars making fools of themselves (think Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Mel Gibson…) but Charlie Sheen seems to have made it his lifelong career. Sheen vaguely fits the definition of a washed up celebrity; Two and a Half Men has become a show with cheesy-sexual-innuendos and redundant plots starring a guy that reminds you of your own middle aged uncle who has his ways with dumb bimbos.
Charlie Sheen is the man you hate but secretly admire. He is truly, in his own words, bi-wining. Who would mind starting the day with two goddesses and a two million dollar pay check for acting like himself in a sitcom? He, unlike the other washed up celebrities mentioned, never acts like he’s sorry for any of his actions and goes from one hilarious statement to another “I am on a drug, it’s called Charlie Sheen. It’s not available because if you try it you will die. Your face will melt off and your children will weep over your exploded body.”
You may simply hate him for his immaturity and his over-the-top demeanor but at the end of the day you have to admit that he fits perfectly in our North-American culture. He may be a washed up bad boy but he is our bad boy because even through the bad times he had enough charisma to pull it off and seem lovable. You will see me every now and then turn on my tv just to watch replays of Two and a Half Men just ‘cause, like my middle-aged-sexually-active uncle, even his lamest jokes will always make me laugh.
P.S Is it just me or Alessandra sounds like a high class Italian porn star?
