Check this out... TORPEDOS against TORNADOS I just wanted to comment, and see what others had to think on the subject... We all know that Sheen went "crazy" and his tour is called "My violent Torpedo of Truth", and that is where the name for this campaign comes from... I think it is great when people give, and those people effected by the storms need all the help it can get... But shit, he makes it look so easy...Because his name is Charlie Sheen, he will be able to raise tens of thousands of dollars, mostly because the media focused on him and his stupidity for a month... Once again, this is another example why I hate money...I have spent the last six years working on trying to make a difference, giving everything I have to being a good person and doing the right thing, but because I have not been money orientated, nobody cares.... Yet, guys like this can make a mockery of the whole idea of giving, yet are more important...I am not saying Charlie does not care about those victims, but the name is just insulting... Yep, a little bitter...Sorry. LOL!!

What offends you about the name of his charity? I can't figure it out.... Also, I'm willing to bet my inheritance that he has very little to do with this at all. This is why he pays his publicist(s) and manager(s) the big bucks: so they can, like "nom" said, even it out a bit. Especially after a break down (and a tragedy of a tour) as bad as Sheen's. So don't take too much offense from this....and if you do be more mad at the entertainment industry than at Sheen himself. There are plenty of other reasons to dislike the guy lol
I guess because the name comes from all that nonsense, a media driven storm to get publicity...His tour, from what i understand, is fueled on hate ( at least some of it is)...I just think it is really stupid to use this name for a charity, but you are right, I guess I am more mad at the entertainment industry that encourages and profits from this type of behavior... I take the concept of giving very personally, so I guess i just don't understand these types of things...But hey, those people that are going to get helped from him are not complaining, so I guess I shouldn't... Its just the name that I find fascinating...
