Charlie Sheen's Obituary

I didn't catch the big roast of Charlie Sheen on Comedy Central, Monday evening, but watched a few of the highlights at the network's website. Yes, it's all very crude and edgy -- the nature of this comedic format. As always, it's a contest to see who can elicit the highest "cringe factor" by crossing the line of good taste. Same ol', same ol'!

Sheen looks positively grizzly, these days, for obvious reasons. The guy has just turned 46, and he's looking closer to Keith Richards at 55. Let's hope if he continues the lifestyle to which he's become accustomed that he possesses an immune system every bit as remarkable at Keith.

I've gone on record before about Sheen's dearth of talent -- he's mediocre actor and average comedian at best -- but I won't revisit those sentiments.

Here a clip from Seth MacFarlane's spot,where he decides to deliver Charlie's obituary in advance of the appropriate venue, which he reckons is not terribly far off. Ahhh, how wonderfully clever! Pardon my sarcasm.
