Now, having been at an 18th last night and discussed through my minimal knowledge of 'Sheen's Korner', I had to work out what has gone on. As we all know by now, Sheen got hooked on drugs and booze, went to rehab, came out a 'reformed' man, went mental towards his bosses at Warner Bros, they sacked him, he sued for $100m. And that's where we stand currently. Phew.
So what's happened since? The now-infamous interview, where he claimed he had 'tiger blood', he was 'banging 7 gram rocks, cos that's how [sic] he rolled', and when the interviewer asked 'Charlie, are you bi-polar?', he replied with 'No, I'm bi-winning', and managed to keep a straight face. His videos are all over YouTube, and there's now a Twitter campaign for something called '#fastball', which no-one really gets... Yes, Charlie is now on Twitter, and holds the world record for the quickest time for a member to get to one million followers, in just over 25 hours... And in 13 days, it's become two and a half million.
But what's next? Well, the rumours that he had signed to Live Nation were confirmed by his new website store, selling shiny Sheeny merchandise. He is going on a US-wide tour, entitled 'My Violent Torpedo of Truth/Defeat is not an Option Show'. It's all gone a bit Pete Tong in Mr Sheen's head, but it's utterly brilliant.
And people have embraced the craziness in so many different ways...
We've also got something from schmoyoho, where Sheen's interview is auto-tuned, and suddenly becomes even more amazing.
Or what about a little something for those of you who like your dubstep? Even better.
I don't know what will come next, but we all know that this will keep rolling on, and it is such a good thing for the media and the world of the mental internet. I for one, am in Sheen's Korner.
