this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Actually, I'm not sure the one from BBT tonight had to do with Charlie Sheen, now that I read the "uncensored" version (go here [link] and then click "view the censored 333"). It sounds like he's been getting a lot of grief from CBS legal or Standards or whatever.

I just assumed "CENSORED!" was his response to Charlie Sheen, since his real response would have been unprintable. Which is probably true, but I don't think the BBT vanity card had anything to do with that.

Didn't he say he wanted a pack of niggers to rape his girlfriend?

Wait, wasn't that Mel Gibson?

Mel Gibson is working in a movie Jodie Foster's directing, last I heard.

There's apparently been some hand-wringing for a while that the lack of a morals clause on Sheen's contract meant they couldn't fire him as long as he showed up and did his job. Which he apparently did without fail. I imagine calling the show a badly-written tincan is more the proximate cause of any disciplinary/retribution/whatever than anything.

Why do I know this? I don't watch the show and I don't care about Charlie sheen or Chuck Lorre.

Because books.

I wanna know how many times ita can yell HOOKERS AND BLOW!

Exactly. And it's making me snerk because I just read a very funny fic with that title.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I wish people would stop giving Charlie Sheen a platform.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Wait, wasn't that Mel Gibson?

Yeah, that's who I was talking about. Saying that he gets to be a racist shithead with relatively few ramifications, but Charlie gets fired. However, it's not like Mel had a regular gig.

And it's making me snerk because I just read a very funny fic with that title.

Don't think it's not on my mind.

God, I want to go up to someone in real life and yell, you know. I hope this wears off before work tomorrow.

Also, even though everyone knows Charlie Sheen has been caught with hookers and blow, he wasn't ever arrested for it so it's just, like, alleged hookers and blow.
