The fact that the media and the public are obsessed with Charlie Sheen and his disgusting habits has really bothered me lately.
I feel as though the media should be focusing on other things around the world to open the eyes of people in this country.
This country idolizes famous people so much that sometimes we forget about reality and the fact that there are other things going on in the world that for some are too painful to talk about.
Sheen is not important to me and he is making millions by distracting people from what we should really be paying attention to.
In the past couple weeks you really could not look anywhere without seeing something about Sheen.
In a recent interview with CNN Sheen talked about the fact that he couldn’t remember the last time he did drugs and that he was only trying to live life to the fullest.
Sheen said, "My motto is to enjoy every moment, I don't think I would trade any of it because I'm still alive, which is pretty cool."
Sheen also stated in the interview that he wanted three million instead of two million per episode of Two and a Half Men.
The fact that he gets paid that much for a show is literally ridiculous and the media is only fueling the fire.
The public has picked Sheen’s personal life apart, but in reality he should be getting help for himself and his children.
Although he is famous I don’t think its right for people to get exploited in the tabloids and news.
Sheen has always been known for partying, womanizing and violent acts.
He is obviously on drugs and needs as much help as he can get because he has fallen completely off the deep end.
Now that the earthquake and Tsunami have taken place in Japan I hope people focus their attention on those people in need of help.
The news is important in relaying information to us around the world, but it sometimes distracts us from what is really going on.
I understand that sometimes a good laugh and lightheartedness is what people need to see and hear, but I don’t agree with how much Sheen has been involved with the media these past couple weeks.
