Sorry, Charlie – Charity it is!

Mar 22

I think this is great. One of our newest chapter owners is putting together a campaign to get his community in Everett, WA to support local charities instead of paying good money to see Charlie Sheen on his Torpedo of Truth tour (whatever that is…)

Personally, to me, there is something oddly perverse about paying good money (up to $600, apparently), to watch someone self destruct. Doesn’t that make you complicit in some sort of a fiduciary way? (“I will pay you to act crazier and crazier…”) I mean, to my knowledge, he doesn’t sing, dance or have any experience as a stand-up comedian – so what is the purpose of the show?

I think it’s great. However, for those who aren’t feeling charitable, why not go out for a night on the town, supporting local businesses?

$600 for a ticket? To see what? I just don’t get it…
