Welp, Charlie Sheen has been fired from his job over at Two and a Half Men, which means that this recent media blitz is officially a Britney Spears-sized public meltdown and any mention of his name is only adding fuel (and money) to the crack-infused fire. People are already so sick of the hype that there's a Charlie Sheen blocker for your browser, but Jen Doll over at the Village Voice is taking it a step further and wants to hit him where it really hurts -- his wallet -- so she's named this coming Friday (March 11) "Unfollow Charlie Sheen on Twitter Day".
Like us, Doll initially appreciated the meme-y lols that were rolling out of Sheen's manic mouth, but now she's saying enough is enough, and I've got to admit, her reasoning is pretty sound.
"Among his crimes:
- Repeated violence to women (he shot one, he threatened to behead another, and then there are the porn stars. Oh, the porn stars.)
- Spelling "corner" with a "k."
- Insulting Thomas Jefferson. Repeatedly.
- Certain men are now using him as a role model. This is not good.
- We're tired of #tigerblood and #winning. Really tired.
- Thinking about him and his porn star coterie is gross.
- He has kids. Come on.
- We have made him even more full of himself.
- It's not even Charlie Sheen tweeting, anyway."
So if you're like Jen Doll, and you're ready to retire #winning and move on to something else, this Friday is gonna be the day to do it.
