Thread: Sharlie Sheen - Torpedo of Truth

    Default Sharlie Sheen - Torpedo of Truth

    I went to Sheen's show last night. It was pretty good. Kid Kraddick basicly got booed off the stage!!

    Then I read some news coverage and most of them say Sheen was getting heckled by the crowd and it was another poor show. There were 1 or 2 idiots who were heckling Sheen, that's it. Yet another example of piss poor media coverage in this country.
    Wealth, power, and experience are apparently not enough to save us from social influences. Groupthink, as described by I.L.Janis, is the tendency for group members to reach a consensus opinion, even if that decision is downright stupid (Janis 1982).

    Anyone willing to pay their hard earned money to see that train-wreck is the idiot. YMMV.

    "Torpedo."

    There's a euphemism for you.

    I'd find the vehemence with which a certain segment of our society rails against the media amusing if it didn't have such dangerous implications.

    However, in this case, I just think there are things much more worthy of complaint these days than a negative review of a show by someone who qualifies as the punchline of a joke we should all be tired of by now.
    Oh, well I've got two sevens, and two sevens beats a frush.

    The media influences the public opinion. One report I read was talking about how everyone was heckling Sheen..when in REALITY, we were heckling Kidd Kraddick, and got his bit pulled by Sheen, "I thought they liked you here" - Sheen to Kraddick
