HA HA! LOOKIT THE REE-TARD!
I shouted that lots of times when I was a kid.
Anyone who acted “weird” was a target for my friends and me, anyone who looked as if they had some kind of mental disability or mental illness.
Not to join in the taunting was to become a ree-tard yourself.
I shouldn’t have done that, and I’m sorry I did.
Aren’t we shouting the same thing today at Charlie Sheen?
We put him on display on television, in social media, in all the other media.
Why not? Look at the crazy shit he’s spouting!
Well, that crazy shit might just be an indication that something is not right with Charlie Sheen. Surely we can agree at least that he is not acting in his own best interests.
Yes, he is appearing in public voluntarily. And yes, he is an actor who makes his living by portraying fantasy worlds.
But shouldn’t we feel just a little bit guilty about putting his irrational behaviour on gleeful display?
No?
OK.
All together now:
HA HA! LOOKIT THE REE-TARD!
