I am actually starting to feel pretty bad for Charlie Sheen, the guy is obviously going through some pretty serious mental health issues and people are glossing over that rather prefering to take easy shots at him. I was listening to the radio yesterday and they were discussing reports that he was displaying bipolar tendancies - and then the hosts rather than offer any empathy in the least started saying that he was "bi-stupid" and making further jokes about him. While Charlie Sheen might be a drug addict from all the readings that I have done on the subject it seems as though addictions commonly stem from diseases such as bipolar disorder and the like.
I think if people associated with the filming of two and a half men, the producer in particular (Chuck something I think), knew that he had these issues, and then made fun of him on the show via the slides at the end of the show, that shows a real lack of class and maturity on their part as well. If there was someone who was diagnosed as being schizophrenic and people made fun of that it would be condemned very fast, but in this case people just want to pile on.
Granted he could just be an ass.
