Journey With Me Into The Mind Of A Maniac - Charlie Sheen

I love a good trainwreck as much as the next guy, and Charlie Sheen has provided countless hours of entertainment over the past few weeks.  In fact, he had been the definition of #WINNING, and made me want to get ahold of some #TIGERBLOOD.  But tonight he put on an online webcast on UStream.  I'm sure he was paid for using that site and got some cash at least (plus he CLAIMED he had sponsors, including selfdiscipline.com, hdnet, blumps squeezable bacon, and brooklyn projects), but it was the defintion of LOSING...  it was terrible.  Only one of the goddesses was on, and she didn't get naked.  There was no drug use or drinking of alcohol in front of the cameras...  it was such a lost opportunity.  And you could tell by how that site shows how many people are currently watching what is on.  Here are the number of viewers (and mind you, the show wasn't supposed to start until 10 PM EDT, aka 7 PM PDT):

  • 9:42- 42K viewers
  • 9:50- 56K
  • 9:56- 75K
  • 9:59- 84K 
  • 10:00- 91K
  • Technical difficulties, which made the count restart...  which means either CharlieSheen=LOSING, or UStream=LOSING at this point
  • 10:06- count took a while to get back to where it was, and now reaches 111K
  • 10:10- 116K
  • 10:16- 113K, as everyone realizes how un-entertaining the show is (meanwhile, Charlie just makes a comment on "who isn't" watching right now)
  • 10:21- 110K
  • 10:24- 106K
  • 10:28- 104K
  • 10:34- 100K
  • 10:40- 95K
  • 10:48- 91K
  • 10:50- 89K
What started off with so much potential, including Charlie mentioning that he might put this show on every night (or every week), depending on viewers did not end well, as everyone in the chat room while it was going on, as well as the majority of social media sites lambasted the man who wishes he was Sir Charles (Barkley would wreck him)...  At least some good ideas came out of this- 2 goddesses, 1 cup (I feel this has already happened, and Charlie probably contributed to the "fun"),  people Charlie wished he could be for 10 minutes (Colin Farrell, Brian Wilson of the SF Giants- watch this interview to see how awesome he is, and Sean Penn), and calling one guy Howad the Winner-Shnitzel (or something like that)...  which was just comical to me. 


But overall the show was horrible.  For one night it was the kind of thing where you can't look away, but at no point do I think it would ever be worth watching again.  Granted, the fact that he got close to 100K people to watch the majority of the thing speaks to how brilliant of a short-term move it is.  Before this current scandal, I'd venture to say this rockstar warlock would have been lucky to get 100 people to show up for any individual appearance.  But I feel this sorry display may be the beginning of the end for him, and if it is, I say go back to being the rockstar warlock from mars with adonis DNA who will melt people's faces off while he bangs two goddesses...  Live your life, mang, and F everyone who doesn't like it...
