Manic Depression is a Frustrating Mess

In a pop culture that absolves all sorts of bad behavior with a trip to the Betty Ford Clinic and a weepy Oprah appearance, Charlie Sheen is a breath of fresh air. At least that’s the generous way of looking at it. Here’s Brendan O’Neill quoted by Nick Gillespie in Reason:

“…Sheen is rebelling against the super-conformist modern narrative of weak individuals who need to be saved by psycho-priests.”

Or maybe he really is mentally ill. That seems to be the attraction to the major networks. Step right up and see the Crazy Man! They’ve broken the final TV taboo – exploiting the sick.

Stay tuned for the next reality show, Celebrity Pustules. Sick.
