As I am sure a lot of you know, Charlie Sheen is on a very fast downward spiral! He has made appearances on various shows in the past couple of days such as "The Today Show", "20/20", and "Piers Morgan Tonight" where he has been telling his side of the "truth" about his dismissal from the hit TV show "Two and a Half Men". He has made some very strong remarks about the producer and network the show is on and he is following the trend of some other celebrities that have fallen off the wagon so to say. Brittney Spears and Lindsey Lohan are a couple of these celebrities that come to mind.
He has created a Twitter account as of today, March 1st. This is apparently big news. Since the creation of his account he has made the news as well as "Dateline", in fact on this program he was the leading news story with about 20 minutes of the show being dedicated to it. He has created his account in order to tell his side of the story and he felt there was no better way to do this than through his own written word on the social media site. His followers are growing by approx. 2,000 per minute. I can not decide if he is accumulating so many followers because they support his stance against CBS or if they are simply waiting for him to make yet another infamous statement, this time one that they can all read for themselves.
Regardless of his reasoning, I find it very interesting that Charlie Sheen and his breakdown that is caused by whatever reason it may be(drugs and alcohol if I had to assume) is receiving more attention today than some much more pressing issues. This just goes to show that social media sites are here to stay and they should be taken seriously by organizations.
