Subject: "I've already got your money!"

Charlie Sheen is brutally honest to the 4,500 people who somehow forked over money to see him "perform" in Detroit, the first stop on a multi-city tour. Attendees were treated to such brilliant comments as "Show of hands here who has tried crack? I don't do crack anymore, but this is a good f---ing night to do some crack"

I'm not sure what it says about our society and culture when Charlie Sheen, who you'd think should be sheepishly keeping as low a profile as possible if he wishes to continue his career, is able to sell out venues despite lacking any live performance skills that would justify attendance.

People have a right to separate themselves from their money to watch a train wreck, but why in the world would an institution of higher learning, in this case Rutgers University, use $32,000 of
mandatory student activity fees, which is funded by tuition, to bring reality TV personality Snooki to campus?

I fear the dumbing down of America is in full swing.

See the 80's, PV. Dumbing down was in full swing back then.

To their credit they learned their lesson and never did anything like that again.
