Charlie Sheen tour fails

The Charlie Sheen craze has officially begun to wear off.

There was a period during the catastrophic events of Japan that one didn’t often hear about the daily doings and sayings of Charlie Sheen but recently another turn of events has caused him to return to the spotlight. His opening night of “My Violent Torpedo of Truth: Defeat is Not an Option” tour has proven that he is no longer “winning” and his only option is defeat.

Although it may seem insane that sane people would pay to listen to Sheen’s mind blowingly idiotic rants, an audience of reportedly around 5,000 people sat down to listen to him Saturday, April 2 in Detroit. According to The Hollywood Reporter, and practically every other media news outlet, the beginning of his 20-city tour completely and utterly bombed.

The show was deemed, “egomania gone wrong” with “the overwritten, faux-Biblical preaching of self-anointed Messiah, who views himself as the most truthful person in the universe.”

Instead of the promised night of “pure magic, a night of winning” the audience got mostly a presentation through videos, such as Sheen’s 20/20 interview, a video of Snoop Dogg and fellow rapper Simon Rex performing, and a tribute to Sheen’s father Martin Sheen.

Sheen has proven himself to be not a stand-up comedian but someone who is obsessed with his arrogant and erratic ways and believes everyone else should be too.

Eventually Sheen was booed off the stage by a chant of “Refund! Refund!” after he had both insulted their city as a place of crack cocaine addicts and only answering questions from the audience if he thought them interesting enough.

Is this the end of the craze of Sheen-ism? Let’s hope.
