You're Fired

Q: What does it take to get an award-winning actor fired from the highest-rated comedy on television?
A: Apparently this.

If I was a betting man, I would have lost money on Charlie Sheen's employment status. Despite all of his antics, Charlie Sheen was simply too valuable to CBS for them to let him go, or so I thought.

This entire saga has been an interesting point of discussion for my classes. Many of my students don't understand why ole Charlie's in trouble, but it's nice to see that someone that valuable to a company can get canned like the rest of us.
