Holy shit but if that crowd so DID NOT get his point AT ALL when they started laughing when he mentioned Charlie Sheen's name. Could they not glean from his manner, from the lead in using a historical context? Do those dipshits not get what he's trying to say?

Charlie Sheen is a sad, sad man with a lot of problems. And people saying 'well he's putting himself out there' don't get that it's his illness that makes him want to, that makes him feel like what he has to say is going to 'blow people's minds'. He will be of the opinion that he is the fricken most important person in the entire world right now and the media is doing nothing but supporting that view.

So sad.

Fuck Craig's audience for not having the brains to work out when someone is trying to be serious.

Oh come on Spoco, it's funny. Craig knew it was funny and probably expected the laughs. I mean, he admits he's been making jokes about Charlie Sheen in nights prior.

Look at his much more somber monologue on his own addiction and near-suicide and it likewise has some humorous parts.

I bet they didn't know what the shit he was talking about when he said "remiss" though. Call it a gut feeling.

I just can't feel sorry for someone who's mental health issues are most likely through excessive drug taking. People usually know what they're risking when they go down that road, he's now completely fucked in the head from it.

I don't judge people with addiction at all, some of my closest friends have been or are and my brother in law died from it in the end, but to pity them to the point of not laughing at their crazy antics? Nahhhh, he's done it to himself, there's no turning back and now he's enjoying himself before he kills himself. Good for Charlie Sheen

I still can't believe Charlie Sheen smokes crack... I mean CRACK?!! Out of all of the drugs out there... out of all of the enlightening and safe drugs - why the FFFF would he choose crack?! Why not just take cocaine like all the other lawyers and stars?

Name 1 good reason why it's not ok to laugh at Charlie Sheen...nay, 1 good reason why it's not ok to laugh at anybody who is mentally ill...nay, at anybody.

This man was criminally under-utilized on the Drew Carey Show. Like a Ferrari being used to tow a hay ride cart.

It's just there's a pretty strong correlation between some mental illnesses and drug use. You can probably ask your doctor about it next time you go. That's to say all the mentally ill will be drug abusers, but certain mental illnesses have higher than normal correlations. I guess the real problem is, does the illness cause the abuse, or does the abuse cause the illness. A lot of them start at puberty and worsen with age. So the drugs mask the symptoms and then you have to unravel everything to get to the root of the cause..if you can.

Sheen wouldn't be acting like this if he were properly medicated or drugged out his mind. But he's off both things and now his untreated self is coming forth.

Public figures invite public ridicule. If you demand an audience, they will not only see you when times are great... ; )

@Porksandwich

You're absolutely right, I was in a very presumptuous and unforgiving mood when I wrote that. Of course a lot of excessive drug taking is born from an abusive childhood perhaps, which in turn can cause countless mental health issues. Or as a means of escape for people who just can't cope or have severe depression etc. The thing that I assume when it comes to Hollywood is that a lot of the time, it's the masses amounts of money and the general lifestyle that cause them to take drugs enough to go crazy. But who knows where his true problems stem from.

In this postmodern world trending towards atheism celebrities have become the worshiped and sacrificed Gods of our time. We love to see them fall.

I have no problem feeling sympathy for him, and I think Craig makes a good point. I laughed at him, but I've stopped laughing now and realised his life may be genuinely unravelling. I watched an excerpt of his ustream video, where he started by sending his love to his five kids (!), before it quickly degenerated into sadness.

This shit must be pretty scary for those kids.

Dear USA. Can we have Craig back plx?
