A fool and his money are easily parted. Works for both Sheen and the audience, as I'm sure the rest of his tour will be just as bad if not worse, assuming they don't cancel it.

Yep, I couldn't believe that sold out. Making crack jokes in Detroit was not a great way to start.

I am shocked, SHOCKED, that a presentation by such an esteemed professional should be so poorly received.....

And I'm highly amused at the idiots who spent good money to see it.

I find myself generally confused as to why anyone cares.

Hmm, I love Conan and even I thought HIS tour was a bad idea, and I find him terrifically entertaining. This dude tho? My LORD why would anyone buy tickets to see him rant poorly for an hour?

Mmmm, tasty schadenfreude.

I'm not sure why the audience expected anything more, though. Hopefully, not too many people will throw their money down the crapper for his other tour dates.

This circus was semi amusing and funny at one point but the joke is wearing thin. At the end of the day, Charlie Sheen is a wife-beating scumbag so nobody should support him with their money.

As for this tour, if the first show goes this poorly, imagine how quickly it's going to turn into an even bigger trainwreck. Charlie may have gotten some quick cash from those people in Detroit but he's playing the short con... trying to rake in as much as he can quickly before he crashes and burns in the very near future. Alienating anyone with taste or common sense or decency isn't the best long-term career strategy.

Oh, and the whole premise is just a ripoff of Conan O'Brien who, by the way, has good material and a fanbase that consists of people other than morbidly curious onlookers. CONAN FTW.
