Charlie Sheen as a Just Chill beverage spokesman?

 

After being fired from "Two and a Half Men," Charlie Sheen’s hypothetical return to his “normal” job is no longer an option. Beggars can’t be choosers, but fortunately for him, an opportunity has fallen into his hands. A beverage called Just Chill, advertised as an “alert relaxation stress relief” drink and alternative energy beverage to Redbull, has offered him $3 million to be their spokesman. 

The brand’s general manager, Russell Fager, mused that it would do Sheen good to calm down and take the beverage’s slogan “live above the noise” to heart. "It is obvious that Sheen needs to relax. We’ve watched him spiral out of control and accompanied by treatment, we think Just Chill will help him focus on whatever his next steps turn out to be.” 

However, the contract stipulates that Sheen consent to a 30-day in-house rehab treatment at his “Sober Valley Lodge” home, avoiding any media appearances for that month. But without drugs and media attention, would he still need an "alert relaxation stress relief" drink at all?

Pretty pathetic that the only way you can temp a millionaire to go into rehab is by giving him a contract (money) from a company's product designed to put into vodka in the comfort of their palatial estates.

Heroin addicts standing in line for their methadone drinks eating soft foods because they lost all of their teeth must be pretty angry right now. I'm sure parents who spent thousands cleaning out their kids wish they were Martin Sheen for a day. Maybe people should stop helping Charlie Sheen "Win" (read: get away with murder). Let him stand in a normal rehab line with the same kind of guy who broke into his house thinking he was persecuted.

The reason why Charlie Sheen has been so successful on the show is because he, as we now see, was playing himself. It was a good joke for so many years but as reality, that lifestyle is simply self destructive. It looks like Charlie will have to learn that the hard way. Predict that he will either self destruct or in 6 months to a year, hit such a rock bottom abyss that he will accept reality and slowly get the help that he so desparately needs. All his money and success will not save him from the rality that he is, after all a mere mortal, as John Belushi, Chris Farley, John Candy, Janis Joplin and so many others never learned soon enough in time to help themselves.

I am a huge fan and Ive always loved charlie but he has destroyed his own career by refusing to get help or even admit he has a problem. Its really sad because wether it be drugs or a mental Illness theres such great help out there to get him to feeling and doing better especially with the kind of money he has. I would love to see Charlie get the help he needs and come back to us as the charlie we know and have always loved!! love you charlie, my prayers and thoughts are with you always!!
