Well, the Violent Torpedo of Truth tour is still packing houses in record time. Sheen was to appear at the famed Radio City Music Hall for one show, but when all 6000 tickets went, they opened up another show which also sold out, both within 30 minutes. His group announced today that they would be adding 12 more cities to the list which are as follows. In April, there is Toronto in Canada on the 14th, Atlantic City on the 16th, Washington DC on the 19th, Atlanta on the 21st, Tampa Bay, FL on the 22nd, Ft. Lauderdale, FL on the 23rd, Houston on the 26th, Dallas on the 27th, Denver on the 28th, San Francisco on the 30th. In May, Vancouver in Canada on the 2nd, and Seattle on the 3rd. Tickets for these new venues go on sale March 19th. Get them while you can. Ticket prices vary from place to place, but they are going for around $59-99. As before, $1 will go towards relief for Japan for each ticket.

In a rather crazy poll by the Public Policy Polling group, which appears in the Wall Street Journal, they asked where Charlie Sheen would be if he were to run in the election of 2012 against Sarah Palin and Barack Obama. Democrats said they would vote for him 44% to 22% over Palin. Independants would also vote for him 41% to 36% over Palin. Republicans would vote for Sheen over Obama 37% to 28%. As you can see, the sentiment is more that they don’t like the opposing politician than they are voting for Sheen. I suspect that if you put mostly any celebrity there except for maybe Mel Gibson, that the results would be the same. Only 10% had a favorable opinion of Sheen, versus 67% who did not. So it’s hard to see it getting much worse than that. But in a regular election with all three candidates and all parties voting, Sheen would lose to both Palin (49%-29%) and Obama (57%-24%). So we will probably not see President Sheen anytime soon. And here I always thought it would be Martin Sheen who’d be considered in polls about presidencies.

A lot of people are staking claim to Sheen’s catch phrases in hopes of making money selling merchandise like T-Shirts and such. Tiger Blood TV, Magic Charlie Ball, and Adonis DNA are already being registered at the trademark office. But some of what he says has already been used and registered before, prompting concern that some of these phrases may not be suitable for use in the way that Charlie and the fans would like. During his tour, he will be selling merchandise based on his phrases, but that may land him in more legal hot water. For instance, one of his favorite phrases is Turds, which he calls his enemies, but Angry Turds is already trademarked way before the Sheen revolution and so he may have trouble putting that on a shirt. But we are quite sure that his legal team is checking on these things. At least we hope they are. The man doesn’t need any more chaos.

That is today’s news in brief on Charlie Sheen.
