So I guess your saying I should watch more TV. Good job, you just ruined 12 years of teachers telling me NOT to watch it. Stop trying to confuse me!

Thats why I put it in quotes, to denote that its a label. I don't know any of these people personally, all I know is what they say and do.

Sheen, Sarandon and

Robbins fucked up the role of Andy Dufresne and I will never forgive him for it. Freeman was good, though.


Sheen was a breath way from official

I haven't ever watched The West Wing, but I bet it sucks apart from Rob Lowe. He was good as Nick Andros in "The Stand".

Sheen has always been

Thats true, a person shouldn't become unopinionated just because they are famous. However, having opinions means having to deal with the effects of those opinions, and how you discuss and deploy (for lack of a better word) those opinions might get you into trouble. But without trouble, Earth would be pretty dull, so its cool.

Thats the most disgusting thing you have ever said. I'm going to vomit.
