The people on RS who want to be like Charlie Sheen will likely grow out of it some day.
Then again, some just won't ever grow up...
Yeah, but like your childhood clothes, you have to have it before you can out grow it. I think you need to party, at least once, really hard before you "get it out of your system."
I wonder if every guy/girl has that urge to just go and really party hard or do something extreme, or if it's only a minority of the population.
Actor Charlie Sheen is a classic example of the difference in Western and Eastern values and norms.
Ignoring public pleas from his father, Sheen has continued a weeklong media blitz, exhibiting obvious signs of mania. With no firm hand to guide them, Western media has deliberately goaded him into making increasingly delusional statements, more concerned about "winning" higher ratings than Sheen's own sense of pride, or the negative example his brash public admissions about his private sex life and unverifiable international conspiracies could be setting for society.
...
Take Edison Chen, who humbly apologized and slipped away to Canada. Or Li Gang's father, who wept as he sought forgiveness on his son's behalf.
The fact that Sheen continues to embarrass himself unabated, becoming even a hero to many, points to the vast differences in cultures.
...
Sheen goes on television and boasts that he has two girlfriends, who both sleep in the same bedroom. Is he too poor to set up his wives and mistresses in different houses?
In Chinese society, these problems are dealt with delicately and privately. Sheen is like a typical Westerner throwing fuel on the fire with each interview and tweet. It is almost as if he feels no shame and is loving the attention.
...
As much as Sheen has lived a life most Chinese men can only fantasize about, our admiration of him can only go so far. He has not only lost face with his public rants, but also crossed a cultural barrier no Chinese can abide.
He ignored his own father's advice to keep quiet, who was once the president of the US. Sheen is a disgrace, unfilial to his father and his fatherland.
Martin Sheen should at once go on television and tearfully apologize on behalf of his son for his inability to keep up appearances and keep his mouth shut.
My parents dont agree with everything that I do. They have told me they dont like some stuff that I do but at the same time they have said that I make my own decisions.

This article is so fail. Sex is still very taboo in many Asian Countries so there for it isn't talked about as openly. I have known/met so many people who cheat on thier spouses, sleep around, frequent strip clubs, massage parlors, KTV clubs, etc. that when i hear this Asian/Chinese value shit it makes me laugh.
Anyone who has worked in Asia will know the answer to this question. Where do you take a group of men who are visiting your city on business? Chances are the answer will involve something to do with girls and paying for a service. Stuff that gets your arrested in North America.

I heard he lost all his contracts with NBC. He was getting paid over 1 million per episode..and now he's not going to get paid at all for all the episodes he finished filming..hah.
I never really watched Two and a Half Men, and I found How I Met Your Mother funnier lol..go Neil Patrick Harris.
That article is tragically hilarious for so many reasons.
It really is a great find.
This part was my favorite.

Glad my father didn't have to apologize for the many times I fucked up in the past.
