Celebs like Charlie Sheen are squeezed by public

Unfiltered access to the public is backfiring for a few celebrities like Charlie Sheen, 50 Cent and Gilbert Gottfried. These celebs are embracing Twitter and webcasts to communicate to the masses. However, the public is responding with an embrace of its own. This embrace could be similar to that of a boa constrictor.

The leader of the social media knuckleheads is Charlie Sheen who began his quest to educate the public about his path to sobriety through traditional broadcast television. He showed how he was a reformed man by providing the results of a recent drug test. Here's a clue Charlie: if you have to produce a successful drug screening to prove that you are on the path to responsibility, there's already a problem. It's like a thief who empties his pockets in an effort to show you that he hasn't stole anything....YET.
Charlie Sheen shows us that a filter 
is sometimes a good thing.

However, Charlie's lunacy escalated once he began live webcasts of himself. His first webcast included his commentary on "Weagle the Eagle," a bald eagle who crashed into a windshield. He also gave us ramblings on about his iPad, his "Winning" tattoo, and NBC correspondent Jeff Rossen. All this takes place while he sweats profusely on the set for 30 minutes. 

By the fourth webcast episode, he is lambasting the president of CBS, the president of Warner Brothers Television, and the creator of Two and a Half Men. Sheen calls these little nuggets of knowledge, "torpedoes of truth." Here's a torpedo of truth for you, Charlie: The public is not amused. A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey says that 71% of Americans have an unfavorable impression of you.

Rapper 50 Cent joined the knucklehead party with his lame tweets on the tsunami that hit Japan. 50 Cent started with this, ""Man I hate to say this but the world is coming to a end. Look at japan tell the people you value you love them... US west coast TUSNAMI (sic) watch f**k this I'm going back to new york." He continued with this, ""Hawaii under a watch this s**t is crazy. I can't swim... Now they are saying they know it's gonna hit the west coast damn." Wait, there's more. "Wave will hit 8am them crazy white boys gonna try to go surfing. Look this is very serious people I had to evacuate all my hoe's from LA,Hawaii and Japan. I had to do it. Lol (laugh out loud)." Feedback from his 4 million Twitter fans was severe calling him an "a**hole" and "insensitive."
Gottfried's goose or duck is cooked.




Comedian Gilbert Gottfried was the final guest at the knucklehead party with his Tweet, "I just split up with my girlfriend, but like the Japanese say, 'They'll be another one floating by any minute now." As a result, Gilbert lost his gig as the voice of the AFLAC duck.

Gilbert, next time you want to tweet, try quacking instead. You'll get better results.
