One thing I haven’t seen mentioned in the whole Charlie Sheen thing is the kid on the show. What kind of influence will this have on him? If I were his parents, would not allow my kid to be anywhere near someone like Sheen, let alone allowing him to be on a set of a TV show all day long with the likes of Sheen (and one that has nothing but raunchy jokes). I guess the money is too good.
Along those lines, in 2009 a movie came out, based on a comic book, the title of which was referred to by one of the stars as "Kick Butt". The star in question was 12-years-old. She played a character who was 11. The language in the movie was truly the worst I've heard in a movie (maybe I'm sheltered). But a 12-year-old actress using the c-word? And the other c-word? And the f-word? In between slashing a few dozen bad guys to death with various knives? With glee and abandon?
The entertainment business is trying to normalize a lot of stuff which is not normal. Society pays a price for that sort of thing.
