Wasn't nearly as funny as other roasts I've seen from your side.

2. I didn't see the roast, but I can understand |
|
how difficult it would be to pull off. When you roast someone, you take all of the honoree's faults and exaggerate and twist them into something hideous, perverted, and yet hilarious. Charlie Sheen is already a hideously perverted man, but there's little about him that could be called funny.

Was some of the jokes directed at Charlie Sheen contained references to his innocent victims. They joked about his physical abuse of prostitutes, not that funny if you were the woman that got assaulted and your life threatened , they also joked about the abuse of his ex girlfriends etc etc etc.
Now yes, some say there shouldn't be any line when it comes to comedy, but what it came off as, was people making light of his actions.
These woman that he assaulted, wont get a cable TV special, they wont get a share of the revenue, they will be affected for the rest of their life's though and to have a bunch of comedians, laughing WITH the guy who assaulted them is just plain wrong.
So yes, Charlie Sheen got Roasted, and some people called it hard hitting, perhaps what would of been hard hitting would to be bring on stage the non famous woman that he beat up, all covered in bruises and all crying from the pain that this low life woman beater inflicted on them.
Charlie Sheen I'm not sure what you are, but it anit a winner.

3. It was a lot funnier than the first episode of two and a half men with Ashton Kutcher. |
|
That was pretty painful to watch.
