| #Losing at a city near you! |
Huffington Post - Charlie Sheen was heckled, booed and eventually abandoned by the crowd at his inaugural stage show, with many of the audience members chanting "refund" and heading for the exits even before the show abruptly ended. Winning? Not on opening night. The first stop on Sheen's "My Violent Torpedo of Truth/Defeat is Not an Option" 20-city variety show started Saturday night with thunderous applause but ended 70 minutes later. In between, Sheen tried to appease his audience with rants, a rapper and a question and answer session, ultimately concluding the first show was "an experiment." The former "Two and a Half Men" star learned firsthand at Detroit's 5,100-seat Fox Theatre that show business still requires a show. The debacle called into question the fate of the nascent tour. Some fans already predicted a premature end for the monthlong trek, which was scheduled to resume Sunday in Chicago. "No way" the show makes it through all the dates, said Bob Orlowski, a lawyer from Plymouth, Mich., who watched with six clients in a suite.
"He's not suited for this," said Orlowski, 46. "It wasn't funny."
Love to say I told you so, I totally told you so. And good luck with that refund. To all the idiots around here that bought tickets to his Boston show like the second they went on sale, you’re all frigen morons. How could you honestly not sit back and wait two seconds to see if this all flames out (as it has). Guy was #winning for about a 27 minute span over the course of 2 weeks. It’s been all losing since. Charlie failed to realize you can’t just be insane all the time 24 hours a day, no one finds that interesting. We’re a morbid society, we find the initial fall and snap entertaining. If you continue to berate us we’ll tune it out. Same reason no one gives a shit about all the murdering, raping, scandals, and about 4 or so wars at last count that are going on in the nightly news. We’re over saturated with it. If Charlie really wanted to be popular he should have shut his mouth for a few weeks and then snapped, shut his mouth again, snapped.
And spare me the "it was his first show, he's just experimenting," bullshit. I'm sure the people who shelled out $100+ for a ticket aren't happy to know that he's just ironing out the kinks.
PS: I hear he did better in Chicago last night, which only means the intelligence level stereotyped by the old Chicago SuperFans skits on SNL was fairly accurate.
