Charlie Sheen: Now on Twitter! UPDATE: Who Said It? Sheen or Qaddafi? UPDATE: Sheen’s Kids Removed from Home

Filed under: General — Patterico @ 7:23 pm



It’s about three hours old — and verified.

A fun game you can play: go to his new Twitter account. Check out how many followers he has. Then refresh. It’s going up by a few hundred every few seconds.

I’m @Patterico, but I’m having a hard time keeping up.

UPDATE: The Guardian has a hilarious quiz challenging you to distinguish between quotes from Charlie Sheen and Moammar Qaddafi. It’s harder than you think. (That’s what he said!) First quote:

I have defeated this earthworm with my words – imagine what I would have done with my fire-breathing fists.

I got 3 out of 10.

UPDATE x2: This is breaking news: Sheen’s kids have been taken away by the cops. Quotable:

My fangs are dripping tiger blood.

(That’s Sheen, not Qaddafi.)

Funny: he seemed like he would be good with the kids.

UPDATE x3: Stacy McCain says we are witnessing mental illness and that it is no laughing matter. Maybe he’s right but I still can’t help but be entertained.

  1. What’s weird is, I just refreshed a few more times and the numbers are not just rocketing up. They’re bouncing around wildly up AND down.

    Odd.

    Patterico (c218bd)

  2. A twit with a twitter account. Whoodathunkit?

    So, what’s he been twatting about? Or should that be who?

    Man, this stuff writes itself.
    😀

  3. If — and it might be a big “if” — he survives his . . . indulgences, Charlie Sheen WILL have the last laugh over the whole, sordid business.

    Icy Texan (2987c7)

  4. Charlie Sheen might be th single most entertaining walking talking train wreck ever.

    JD (d4bbf1)

  5. The dude is perma-fried.

    Vegas does not take bets on people does it, because of the moral hazard?

    daleyrocks (ae76ce)

  6. He is your brain on drugs.

  7. (As I said yesterday to a friend on Facebook:)

    It’s gotten so bad for Charlie Sheen, Col. Qaddafi’s been calling lately begging him to take teh crazee down a notch.

    qdpsteve (f1c59f)

  8. Funny you should say that, qdpsteve. Because of my latest update:

    I got 3 out of 10.

    Patterico (c218bd)

  9. I got 7 out of 10. which is kind of like getting 7-10 of the “do I have MRSA on my…..” on an NIH quiz

    SteveG (cc5dc9)

  10. Charlie doesn’t believe in wimmins or jooos, but he loves him some aliens and troofers.

    Icy Texan (2987c7)

  11. 5 out of 10. Thanks for the link Patterico. 🙂

    qdpsteve (f1c59f)

  12. Yeah, Charlie is crazy …. like a Fox.

    Lemme see …..

    He gets hi
    He get laid
    He makes millions
    He might have a suit v CBS for even more
    He is doing exactly NOT the way we were told

    I agree with Lorre …. if this guy outlives me I am pissed but good for Charlie.

    Torquemada (2a42d3)

  13. Apparently I can barely tell the difference between Gadhafi and Sheen because I only got 2 out of 10.

    Also, this is strange.

    DRJ (fdd243)

  14. UPDATE x3: Stacy McCain says we are witnessing mental illness and that it is no laughing matter. Maybe he’s right but I still can’t help but be entertained.

    Patterico (c218bd)

  15. Last I heard, Sheen was on his way to help Arabs take their freedom to a new level.

    daleyrocks (ae76ce)

  16. Oh, I forgot:

    UPDATE x2: This is breaking news: Sheen’s kids have been taken away by the cops. Quotable:

    My fangs are dripping tiger blood.

    (That’s Sheen, not Qaddafi.)

    Funny: he seemed like he would be good with the kids.

    Patterico (c218bd)

  17. Charlie is the moral cancer that is EXACTLY needed in the middle east.

    Torquemada (2a42d3)

  18. “UPDATE x3: Stacy McCain says we are witnessing mental illness and that it is no laughing matter.”

    Don’t put too much credence into whatever drug tests he took for ABC. Even if he has stopped using he’s clearly still exhibiting the effects. Too soon, too soon.

    daleyrocks (ae76ce)

  19. FFS, have all you people gone r**arded? It’s Sheen. He doesn’t matter in any way. Just stop paying attention.

    Scott Jacobs (d027b8)

  20. He gets hi
    He get laid
    He makes millions
    He might have a suit v CBS for even more
    He is doing exactly NOT the way we were told

    I agree with Lorre …. if this guy outlives me I am pissed but good for Charlie.

    You a dad?

    Patterico (c218bd)

  21. Scott Jacobs:

    I can’t help it. It’s like JD said: he is an incredibly entertaining trainwreck.

    RS McCain is trying to make me feel guilty for being entertained. It’s almost working.

    Patterico (c218bd)

  22. Funny quiz. 3 out of 10, all guesses. On the upside for Sheen, at least he still somewhat has his looks. Qaddafi? Eh, not so much.

    Dana (9f3823)

  23. “Charlie is the moral cancer that is EXACTLY needed in the middle east.”

    Torquemada Heh! He certainly can’t make things worse.

    daleyrocks (ae76ce)

  24. It doesn’t bother me that people are being entertained by the spectacle of someone’s life virtually imploding under the weight of the own poorly-considered actions.

    What bothers me is that people are pretending the train-wreck involves anyone worth paying attention to.

    He’s managed to come back from everything he’s done to his life and career up until now, and I think he’s finally learned that such actions are very rare.

    He is utterly without importance; why are people acting like he is?

    Scott Jacobs (d027b8)

  25. Because Scott, he does shocking things in a big way: spending $790k on cars in just one month is, well, just really shocking.

    Dana (9f3823)

  26. #20, Yes.

    #23, Rather have them snorting blow and wacking to porn then blowing up my airplane.

    Torquemada (2a42d3)

  27. with the right medication Mr. Sheen could rocket to the next level of fame and stardom… this has been a for reals tour de force and he really a lot resonates with reality tv-besotted Barack Obama Sarah Palin razzle dazzle post-America America I think

    happyfeet (ab5779)

  28. Why the holy monkey f**k do I care what Sheen spends his money on? Did he steal it, use violence to force his opponent to get him an amazingly good acting contract?

    If not, then I frankly don’t care what he spends it on.

    Scott Jacobs (d027b8)

  29. Wow, it took that long for a certain person to bring up a particular celebrity that has nothing to do with Charlie Sheen?

    We are getting to Andrew Sullivan territory.

    Simon Jester (c8876d)

  30. Okay, I get it, Scott.

    Dana (9f3823)

  31. #28, The only reason folks care is b/c our society has become mommy centric and even men have this pathological need “to mother” everything which they don’t like.

    If the dude does nothing to infringe on the rights of others …. let him be. Kind of sad what we have become.

    Torquemada (2a42d3)

  32. #27, I see a reality show here once Charlie fleeces CBS for a few million.

    Why did the fire a guy for a) getting ratings, b) making them money and c) behaving as nutty as he ever did??????

    If I was CBS, I;d give him a raise and tell Lorre to wake up and $mell the coffee.

    Torquemada (2a42d3)

  33. 6 outta 10. I want to party with Charlie, he has my vote in 2012!!!!!

    BT (74cbec)

  34. 4

    Torquemada (2a42d3)

  35. I agree Mr. Lorre and CBS and Warner Bros don’t seem to have their heads in the game not even a little

    happyfeet (ab5779)

  36. The guy is on a show. He has chicks and stuff. He has Adonis DNA and is an F-18 that will bomb you with his Sheenisty.

    What’s the the problem? I mean some people work for a living, but we have Sheenster to steer the way. If he lives past midnight on April 27, he has a good chance to be the next governor of California.

    Because of his Sheeny goodness. We should welcome our new Sheen overlord.

  37. If you’ve ever had the misfortune of working with someone who was in psychiatric out-of-control meltdown mode and refused to get help, then you know how frightening and stressful it can be for everyone in that person’s orbit. Personally, I don’t think CBS will be paying Sheen a penny when, as each hour passes, he says and does things which seem to justify their calling a halt to the production of the show.

    elissa (447ac7)

  38. #37, Charlie Sheen is 2.5 men. Everyone can be replaced but him.

    If the staff is that scared, they can go be unemployed for awhile. But until he actually does something to harm someone physically — it is his business to be as crazy as he wants to be.

    If Lorre owns the show and wants to stop, then he can stop also.

    But he is Secretariat and the rest are …. the rest of those actors in the darn Disney movie which I can’t remember. Diane Lane?

    Again, the mommy mindset versus the daddy. mindset.

    Torquemada (2a42d3)

  39. ==But until he actually does something to harm someone physically==

    Brilliant strategy there, Torque. Yeah, that’s exactly when CBS would end up paying out the big lawsuit bucks–after somebody gets hurt or killed. Don’t think that Lorre’s AND CBS’ lawyers were not helping to drive the decision to end this. And squeamish advertisers are in the mix too.

    elissa (447ac7)

  40. If Kwhatever is added, it could be a three-way …quiz, that is…or crazyoff! It could be the Give Sanity A Holiday bowl.

    ∅ (e7577d)

  41. I haven’t paid any attention to anything either one has said before now, yet I scored 9 out of 10.

    Sheen really is mentally ill. Godaffy is just your run of the mill meglomaniac.

    Roland (ab3879)

  42. SPOILER

    For those who want the correct answers:
    1, 2, 4, 7, 8, and 10 are sicko-Charlie.
    3, 5, 6, and 9 are sicko-Gadaffi-duck.

    (No, I didn’t know it. I simply worked down the list trying each answer. I got four – just about “chance” on it.)

    {^_-}

    jdow (98e9d7)

  43. Roland thinks that GoDaffy.com is NOT mentally ill?

    Icy Texan (b4bda0)

  44. He plays a drug abusing rude crude insensitive misogynist that makes lots of money for doing very little. It is called type casting for people that can not act, he plays the same character that he lives as.

    dunce (b89258)

  45. For a second, a few days ago, I gave Sheen the benefit of the doubt and considered that it might be a publicity stunt — like Joquain (sp?) Phoenix.

    But that was before I saw Youtube videos of his interviews these past few days. I was convinced the trainwreck is real.

    I don’t care if he is mentally ill; he had all the chances to turn around, but he chose to fry his own brain. He’s the best anti-drug spokesman that has ever existed, and I HOPE people continue to mock him because he’ll serve as a good lesson to everyone. That’s about all he’s good for, at this point.

    Kman (5576bf)

  46. I took the quiz and got 4 out of 10. AFter that interview last night, good luck on suing Warner Brothers.

    Rochf (ae9c58)

  47. I scored 9 out of 10, but that was after watching the ABC interview and getting a clue into Charlie’s mindset. It’s interesting how shocking it seems to seen a dude smoking on TV these days, when network news anchors used to smoke back in the day.

    I have to say, his hobbies do look like fun.

    carlitos (01d172)

  48. Actually, dunce, it’s more along the lines of a writer: ‘write what you know’. No matter whatever else he is, Sheen is a good actor. It does not matter that he is basically playing himself — he does his job well.

    Icy Texan (b4bda0)

  49. Carlitos – amazing how different things are now. I still think he was high in those interviews.

    JD (109425)

  50. Kmoe doesn’t care if Sheen is mentally ill. That’s hilarious coming from someone who has an obsessive stalker personality requiring professional help(IMHO), and refuses to acknowledge its problem.
    Rumor has it that Kmoe has a penchant for show tunes, and won the größte mund at the snitzengrüberfest.

    ∅ (e7577d)

  51. #40, I am sure the lawyers and CBS are going da-da over it. What about if, or that or this or a meteor hits us ……

    But lawyers on these matters are cowards and all they care about is sucking the host dry for hourly fees.

    Charlie Sheen makes money. The rest are parasites metaphorically speaking. Sheen is right, he is the franchise.

    Again, mommy world versus daddy world.

    Torquemada (2a42d3)

  52. GoDaffy is homicidal lunatic and a mass murderer who also likely steals money from people.

    Sheen likes HOs and booze. Plus he works for a living and makes lots of money for other people. Which normal man doesn’t do this …..

    All the moralizing over Sheen makes me wanna vomit.

    Torquemada (2a42d3)
