Wasn't nearly as funny as other roasts I've seen from your side.

2. I didn't see the roast, but I can understand
how difficult it would be to pull off. When you roast someone, you take all of the honoree's faults and exaggerate and twist them into something hideous, perverted, and yet hilarious. Charlie Sheen is already a hideously perverted man, but there's little about him that could be called funny.

6. What I didnt like

Was some of the jokes directed at Charlie Sheen
contained references to his innocent victims. They
joked about his physical abuse of prostitutes, not
that funny if you were the woman that got assaulted
and your life threatened , they also joked
about the abuse of his ex girlfriends
etc etc etc.

Now yes, some say there shouldn't be any line when
it comes to comedy, but what it came off as, was
people making light of his actions.

These woman that he assaulted, wont get a cable TV
special, they wont get a share of the revenue, they
will be affected for the rest of their life's though and
to have a bunch of comedians, laughing WITH the
guy who assaulted them is just plain wrong.

So yes, Charlie Sheen got Roasted, and some
people called it hard hitting, perhaps what would of
been hard hitting would to be bring on stage the
non famous woman that he beat up, all covered in
bruises and all crying from the pain that this low
life woman beater inflicted on them.

Charlie Sheen I'm not sure what you are, but it
anit a winner.

3. It was a lot funnier than the first episode of two and a half men with Ashton Kutcher.
That was pretty painful to watch.

4. The only reason you got on TV in the first place
Edited on Thu Sep-22-11 02:18 PM by thelordofhell
Is because God hates Michael J. Fox
