Charlie Sheen - Is he still winning?

So I guess Charlie Sheen finally got fired from "Two and a Half Men". Is it really a surprise? I am confused a bit though. I thought they already canceled the show, so Sheen getting fired seems almost silly at that point.

I think he was being selfish. I seriously wish the media would quit glorifying drug and alcohol addicted celebrities. There's nothing great about someone throwing their life away.

It's a real tough time for a lot of Americans and right now no one can afford to loose their job, so for Sheen to go off on a self absorbed rant about poor him not making millions of dollars without a single care for the rest of the cast or crew... just sucks. I don't think he was the entire show, but he was definitely a major part of it. Without him on the cast it wouldn't be the same. He forced the producers to take action. He gambled and everyone lost. Many on the crew might be able to find work again soon, but some likely won't. Because of his selfish act, more families are going to struggle this year. I just don't see what's so great about that.

The behavior that has been demonstrated by Charlie Sheen, most recently over the past several weeks, is very indicative of our current society. We, in general, have become a very self-centered, self-absorbed, collection of individuals, who have nothing better to do than complain about life when times get a little tough or things don't go as they want it to. This mentality is prevalent in Hollywood and in the youth of America. I deal with this every day. "What have you done for me lately?" and "Where's mine?" are common catchphrases.
The sooner we, as the viewing (and taxpaying) public start to simply shut these spoiled brats out, the better off we will be. It needs to be conveyed that the general public will not continue to tolerate a "Me First" attitude. If stupid people like Charlie Sheen start losing their means of employment because of their foolish, destructive behavior, maybe the rest of the Hollywood establishment, and society in general, will begin to clean up its' act.
