Sheen could learn from John Galliano [http://www.sleek-mag.com/news/galliano-vs-style-police/#more-10389](http://www.sleek-mag.com/news/galliano-vs-style-police/#more-10389) However, it’s funny that Galliano (arguing with a couple) only said to the woman that she is “an ugly bag” and it turned to be anti-Semitic insult because, wait for it, woman is Jewish. Then they added anti-Asian insult to the charge because, wait for it, he called the man, who was Asian, ugly. It’s a sad World in which we let media decide at who to cast the stone. Sure enough, there’s plenty people just standing next to a pile. Why not investigate who originated these ridiculous charges and then sue the idiot for the last dime? BTW, after reading what really happened I was like… why am I not there :o ---

Update… apparently an interview took place - [Breaking News - Headlines & Top Stories | The Star](http://www.thestar.com/entertainment/television/article/945958--i-am-on-a-drug-it-s-called-charlie-sheen?bn=1) Best part: > [@Charlie Sheen](#): > > “I’m sorry if I offended you,” he said to ABC about Lorre. “I didn’t know you were so sensitive . . . after you’ve been wailing on me for eight years.” Remind me, who’s the writer on the show 🆒 ---

The thing that struck me was that in typical addict fashion, the guy is basically unapologetic about his behavior. In fact, he expressed pride over his wild and crazy ways because of all the cool experiences he allowed others to have. :rolleyes: His bragging is not surprising at all, given the fact that society has enabled his behavior for so long. But still it is startling to see him tout the awesomeness of his lifestyle while looking so sick and coked out (and what is going on with that hair of his?) Instead of a badass he looks more like a crazy man named Jeremiah ranting on the subway. ---

It’s incredible what comes out from people when they’re drunk (which of course is not an excuse) - it’s just… dude, is that on your mind that was waiting to come out? Sad.
