Charlie Sheen: Distraction of the Day

(idk… kinda looks like a trend)

Sure, a lot of people enjoy rubbernecking a celebrity train wreck as it happens, but why has there so much Sheen-noise being made as of late? Probably because there’s nothing like a sex-crazed maniac, high on tigerblood, to keep the public distracted from actual news-worthy events.

Every day, more soldiers and civilians are dying in expensive wars for which public support has all but evaporated.

Revolutions have sprouted all over the Middle East, with freedom fighters showing the world how to demand democracy from the system.

Perhaps most important to the American population are the huge uprisings which started in Wisconsin and have spread to cities around the United States.

This is why the mainstream media focuses on Sheen and whatever other nonsense they can find. Because if they were to really report on the important issues, the social consciousness might become overwhelmed by an epidemic of revolutionary spirit.

And this is exactly what the powers that be fear the most – an engaged and empowered civilian population fighting for their rights.
