Chinese editorial admonishes Charlie Sheen, whose father 'was once the president of the US'

As much as Sheen has lived a life most Chinese men can only fantasize about, our admiration of him can only go so far. He has not only lost face with his public rants, but also crossed a cultural barrier no Chinese can abide.

He ignored his own father's advice to keep quiet, who was once the president of the US. Sheen is a disgrace, unfilial to his father and his fatherland.

Martin Sheen should at once go on television and tearfully apologize on behalf of his son for his inability to keep up appearances and keep his mouth shut.

Second best part of the piece:

Sheen goes on television and boasts that he has two girlfriends, who both sleep in the same bedroom. Is he too poor to set up his wives and mistresses in different houses?

11. Reminds me of the bit where Chinese media picked up a story from The Onion

And in their defense, things are crazy enough that:

Congress Threatens To Leave D.C. Unless New Capitol Is Built

could have been true.
