With all the riots in the Middle East and the U.S. media focusing on a megalomaniac of a sitcom star instead, I get a little alarmed at the current status of the American public. I mean, really, just because an event isn't shiny and new (or all of a few days old), we shouldn't simply ignore its progress. Ok, so that's not how the media conglomerates operate, but I'd like to think that's how we should and maybe one day will operate.
As I began to yet again lose faith in the American people, someone created a fantastic spoof of this whole situation. Its a YouTube guessing game where you are invited to see if a quote was either spoken by Charlie Sheen or Libyan dictator, Muammar Gaddafi. The game is humorous in and of itself, but also pokes fun at the idea that a TV star and a dictator's potential fall should compete for the same news coverage.
That being said, I got every quote wrong. Either I don't pay enough attention to celebrity gossip to know what Sheen says on a regular basis or those two people are at the same level of crazy.
