One certainly doesn’t have to look too far in this day and age for a healthy serving of the truly ridiculous, what with the countless “news” sources so readily available. Our society is inundated with them, they’re everywhere we look. We find them while standing in line at the grocery store in the form of fashion magazines and tabloids. At home, we’re bombarded with “news” the moment we click on the television or sit down at the computer. From Charlie Sheen’s continued idiotic ranting, to the current net value of Facebook, the latest Dancing With the Stars cast to whatever nonsense Sarah Palin happens to post on the Internet any given day, we’re surrounded by information that is – when you get right down to it – merely entertaining and not all that newsworthy after all.

The recent spotlight on former “Two and a Half Men” star Charlie Sheen is a perfect example of this. I’m not going to go into details here, as I’m fairly certain we’ve all heard the big news by now, but it seems that Sheen – recently fired thanks to his disturbing actions and dialogue – has now decided he’s best served by suing his former employers at CBS.

You’ve got to be kidding me.
