Martin Sheen Calls Charlie's Addictions a "Cancer"

MSN - Martin Sheen is speaking out about Charlie's problems, calling his son's struggles with addiction a "form of cancer" that the family is trying to lift him out of.
The elder Sheen was in the UK promoting his new film, "The Way," when he spoke with Sky News about his family's attempt to help the "Two and a Half Men" star. He was joined by another one of his sons, Emilio Estevez, who directed the film and also weighed in on his brother.
"If he had cancer, how would we treat him?" Sheen asked. "This disease of addiction is a form of cancer. You have to have an equal measure of concern and love and lift them up and so that's what we do for him."

The "Apocalypse Now" actor called his son "an extraordinary man" and said that after years of dealing media interest about his son's troubles he's become used to the questions. Estevez agreed, saying he's learned to cope.

This is a completely bullshit comparison.  Everyone has been effected by someone or another who has actually been effected with cancer.  It's a disease that has killed millions upon millions someway somehow.  Because I'm pretty much cancer's number one advocate seeing as I consume dip by the boatload and enjoy a victory cigar as much as Tony Soprano, you'd think I'd have some insensitive comment to say about this.  But I don't, which even surprises me a little bit.  

If Charlie's lifestyle is a form of cancer, people would be lining up by the dozen to contract that shit.  It'd be like waiting in fucking line to get a Wiz Kalifa ticket right now.  He's  fucked up on the reg.  Banging porn stars on the reg.  Filming a hilarious TV show every now and then for millions of dollars.  Most men dream of Charlie Sheen's chosen lifestyle.  I know I do.  In fact, I wish I lived half the lifestyle the great Topper Harley does.

Watch what ya say there, Martin
