The Hypocrisy of Dealing with Charlie Sheen

This is obviously the face of a cracked-out mess, but I do find it curious that he was allowed to keep his job on a hit family sitcom while:

• Having charges brought against him for beating his wife.
• Trashing a hotel room in a rage after thinking a hooker he was with had stolen his wallet and watch. Said "contractor" looked herself in the bathroom fearing for her life.
• Spending $500,000 on drugs and prostitutes over the past six months.
• Going on a 36-hour drug and porn star spree, which landed him in the hospital.

He's been unrepentant about all this as he has been about his ongoing drug use and regular solicitation of prostitutes (including earning a place in the Heidi Fleis All-Star Club).

All of the above, totally fine if you're on a #1 rated sitcom about two brothers and one of their little boys. That families watch. That makes a ton of money. Need to lay everyone on set off (who make a fraction of what Sheen does, incidentally) so he can go to rehab? No worries. Just dandy. Sheen can even speak to the UCLA college baseball team while he's supposedly in said-rehab and tell them to don't do crack, unless they can handle it.

BUT the minute Sheen insults the show's creator off-set, on the radio? No more show.

I mean admittedly his rants were way over the top and insane (I mean, really, Vatican Assassin Warlocks? Everyone knows the Vatican only employs vampires.). But, after all he's done, why would you expect anything else? This is the man who believes that 9/11 was a controlled explosion.

This all just seems so completely fucked up, doesn't it?

This just in: Charlie Sheen is shopping a book. He wants $10 million.
