Have Charlie Sheen's Views on 911 resulted in a media backlash against him?

[TheOrangeCat]

Discuss.

IMO - I think this is just another example of the media latching on to a train wreck in progress and sucking every drop of marrow from it they can in order to fill the vast dead space of their air, pages and minds.

Charlie also believes he had Adonis DNA and something-something-something about tiger's blood.

I find it hard to believe that

A - his view on a major world tragedy is linked to

B - the media covering an A list celeb making his own news.

Seems to me Brittany, Lindsay, Mariah, Margot Kidder, Whitney, Robert Downey and Michael Jackson were all oddly silent about 911, the Permanent Shadow Government, faked moon landings and curing cancer with sunlight.

They all ate the same shit and got the same attaention as Charlie from the media.

Jus sayin' ....

Anyway, maybe we can talk about this kind of stuff here, rather than in threads that have fuck all to do with Sheen's political beliefs and views on 911?

Well according to WTC7Waspulled, of course it was!!


According to every logical person out there, it's his own damn fault! Asshole took Bree Olson away from us!! But then again he did star in Major League...

 

[TheOrangeCat]

I forgive him everything for Platoon and Wall Street. Even if he is also :tinhat:

Mind you, he might also be bi-polar.

Is there a connection? A link. I think we should be told

Still, his life's achievements get him a :tinhat: pass also, from this Orange Cat.

He earned it. Not so much others ......................

 

[L3ggy]

He's not bi-polar, he's bi-winning.

 

[TheOrangeCat]

He's not bi-polar, he's bi-winning.

but are his winning ways a result of his views on certain New York buildings and their fall?

 

[DJCowboy]

To be honest, it sometimes looks like during these interviews he's sick with something (cancer, aids, government nano-techs) but he doesn't look too healthy

 

[Ace Boobtoucher]

I think it's his lack of any discernible talent that has led to his falling-out with the viewing public and his stupid antics just seem to be icing on the cake.

 

[TheOrangeCat]

But - what about 911? Charlie has made his views very clear. Did it result in a media backlash?

Or - perhaps, just say - there's no connection whatsoever.

I'd genuinely like to hear views. Preferably well, reasoned and debated. But withering sarcasm will also work.

I think it's just from the binge drinking and drugs personally.

Honestly, I don't think it resulted in media backlash. I think the media and through the media, the public, think it was the drink and drugs talking. Or a cry for attention.

It's a bit of poulet et ouf ..... or: just because a mad man says mad things doesn't mean to say what he says is mad ........

Trying to untangle the media's influence and responsibility from the man's actions and responsibility for his reactions to the media attention, from the media's reaction to his reaction, to the games each plays on each other .......

Bottom line.

Highly successful playboy writes his own ticket and script.

Approve. Disprove? Don't give a fuck?

As human beings, the only thing we should care about is if the man is safe and sound.

If he really is - really - then let him be to enjoy a life he clearly seems to enjoy: and that includes his very obvious baits of the media, who have trotted along eating up the kibble trail like good little unthinking doggies.

I know who's going to get the last laugh.

And it ain't going to be Dr.XXX of the XXXXX Rehab Center as interviewed by XXXX anchor on XXXXX News.

Everyone in that above paradigm - forgotten like yesterday's newspaper.

Charlie - he'll still be jamming and laughing his ass off this time next year.

I hate him. Why? because he got blowjobs from Denise Richards and I didn't. The lucky bastard that he is!.

I find this entirely reasonable. In her hey-day .. fuck it, even now she is a screaming looney ..... I'd kill (Mr Trebus) to get those lips chupa-chupping my lolly.

I'm sorry O.C I can't seem to care for this guy one way or the other, especially if he believe's 9/11 was a conspiracy. :tinhat: To live life like a Rock Star/Playboy and then blame his woes on the media. I'm sure he hated all the media attention and fame when it was in his favour. Anyway don't they say, "any publicity, good or bad, ... is good publicity?".....

Absolutely. I'd be last one to say CS hasn't at least been an equal partner in whatever negative coverage his exploits has resulted in.

But this thread is specifically designed to examine the (mis-posted) posit from the master CS thread that, somehow, CS's putative interest in alternative theories of 911 have directly led to his public pillory by a media apparently controlled by the powers that allegedly conspired to make 911 a reality and then blame it on the rag heads.

 

[Petra]

Honestly, aside from the useless media coverage (at least it's not Lohan or Spears) that Charlie gets...I don't see how anyone can be upset over him. He has never tried to be, or claimed to be anything other than what he is.

For that, I respect the man. Most other celebrities actually give a fuck or at least pretend they give a fuck and conform to what society wants them to be. To a point.

Charlie is what he is and will probably die this way.

Honestly, I think Charlie just said what he said for media attention. Everyone else was doing it (Jesse Ventura) and why not him. I don't think he really thinks that or takes it seriously. Hell, he doesn't take himself very seriously these days.

Yes, that's right. As long as they type the name right.

All true.

But off topic.

Ahhh! I was just about to mention the Jesse Ventura similarity. I did see that Jesse Ventura segment somewhere.

As to whether Charlie's views on 9-11 resulted in media and public backlash against Charlie? I'm sure with some of the media and plenty of the general public YES, it couldn't have gone over very well.

When I saw the Jesse Ventura segment on conspiracies as per his opinion, I found it interesting, but I didn't suddenly up and put him on my Shit List. However, I'm sure a lot of other people probably did put Jesse on their Shit Lists because of that.

Heck, I question the lunar landings myself. I hope I'm not tossed off FreeOnes. :eek:

I have Charlie on my Shit List for a different reason, NOT for what he might have said regarding 9-11. Not that I heard what all he said in detail.
