Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted November 17, 2015 Moderators Share Posted November 17, 2015 This concept was retired as a superthread some time back. Â After a lengthy period under these new ways of working I still stand behind not having a "random thoughts" thread in Off Topic, because most of Off Topic is just conversational rubbish but a news thread is probably worth bringing back. Â So, on to our first item of business - Charlie Sheen has the HIV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted November 17, 2015 Author Moderators Share Posted November 17, 2015 I feel bad but I did laugh when the article went from one sentence saying "My trusted inner circle betrayed and blackmailed me" to the next saying "a hooker took photos of his HIV meds and threatened to leak them". Â You gotta feel for the guy when that's his trusted inner circle.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Lenin Posted November 17, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted November 17, 2015 Probably being naïve but the thought a hooker would still sleep with him being HIV positive scared me a bit. How does he even have any money left? Surely he's due a bankruptcy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Linus Posted November 17, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted November 17, 2015 If his HIV goes further, is it good AIDS or bad AIDS? Given the fun he's had, I'm saying BRILLIANT AIDS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does he even have any money left? Surely he's due a bankruptcy?  He went straight from one inexplicably popular sitcom to another relatively popular shitcom — he actually probably raked in a bunch from that tour he did a while back, too.

WyattSheepMask Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 He was on one of those stupid deals that they have on US sitcoms were his basic salary is near $1m per episode, the cast of Friends got that ball rolling years ago and the main of Modern Family and The Big Bang Theory are all on similar deals, although that hasn't stopped on of them from appear in ads for Intel. Â Sheen will be nowhere near bankrupt, he could probably live off repeat fees for the rest of his life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members SpursRiot2012 Posted November 17, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted November 17, 2015 He says he's informed each and every single sexual partner he's had since he got his diagnosis. I just find that hard to believe considering how fucked up I assume he is on the reg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted November 17, 2015 Author Moderators Share Posted November 17, 2015 No, because someone whose company he is paying for is part of his trusted inner circle, implying he doesn't have any mates. Â And yeah.. as it goes, if the business you're engaging in with someone is legally ambiguous at best you probably should be a bit more cautious about trusting them, regardless of what the product or service they're selling is. Â So less of the superior moralising tone, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â The wording of the article doesn't imply that the prostitute was a member of the inner circle he was speaking of, but I see what you mean now if you read it differently. Your post initially read as though it's worse to be blackmailed by a prostitute than by someone else - which is sex negative stigmatizing shite. Â I'll just leave the deflecting tactic in the last sentence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
