CHARLIE SHEEN: BUILT BY WARLOCKS, MADE FOR TWITTER


Some celebrities were made for Twitter. Some celebrities are awful at Twitter. Other celebrities seem like they might be made for Twitter but are in fact awful at Twitter.

Most of the time it isn't possible to predict which celebrities will be good at Twitter. Could anyone have foreseen the awe-inspiring, stream-of-conscience burble that is 50 Cent's feed? Not his newly-humbled PR people, certainly.

One suddenly-relevant actor who this week made his long-awaited debut on the site is almost certain to be an exception. Charlie Sheen, the star of such silver screen classics as A Letter From Death Row and That Awful Shitty Sitcom With That Disgusting Child, has a lot on his mind and finally he has a place to share it.

It should be made clear that what Charlie Sheen literally has on his mind is a thin layer of cocaine residue, solidified over his frontal lobes and almost certainly contributing to his mental deterioration.

But what's done is done. Charlie's gray matter is gone forever. His family will reminisce about those days long ago when he was able to have conversations, look presentable, and take in solids without immediately vomiting them back up into his lap. All that's left for us to do is giggle at the very public unraveling of a man with no shame: Charlie Sheen's Twitter feed.
