Bieber Calls Sheen "Most Influential" Man In The World, Heckler Disagrees

Charlie Sheen's dud of a torpedo is still fizzling into the city's papers. Today the Daily News reports that a heckler at the Atlantic City show on Saturday night shamed the MaSheen into giving him a refund. While watching the fallen actor incoherently grasp for the audience's attention, Zach Edelman heckled him from 20 rows back (after being denied a refund at the box office). Sheen eventually beckoned him to the stage, handed him a $100 bill, and said, "There's your fucking refund. Now you can get the f--- out of here."

Edelman was then escorted out by security... but he says that Sheen is welcome to call him anytime for tips on how to improve his stage show. The Hoboken insurance manager told the paper proudly: "I slayed the warlock." And added that the show was "a train wreck. There wasn't any humor." (Agreed!)

Still, Sheen has one pop star's vote for most influential person in the world. Justin Bieber told Time magazine that Sheen is more influential than Julian Assange and Barack Obama, because "he got a million followers in one day on Twitter. And I've never seen that happen before." Is anyone else thinking this pair could create sitcom gold? One and a Half Men, anyone?

For the record, Justin Bieber has 8,957,818 followers, Barack Obama has 7,459,599, and Charlie Sheen, who announced he's a birther last night in DC, has 3,632,372.

You know he's right! Wow. Bieber really has his finger on the pulse of human civilization. Not just the US, but the world!
How many people are now talking about winning, goddesses, and tiger blood?

He's convinced me to pay more attention to a slowly burning car crash that will end in nothing if not the destruction of your own dignity and faith in human kind! Thanks Bieb. You know whats important.

More like...he's a fucking 16 year old (I actually dont know or care how old he is) weighing in on the important issues of today. Why is anyone paying attention?

He actually better start fighting for the survival of Planned Parenthood. Otherwise, we will have thousands of equally uninformed adolescents thinking someone gives a shit about what they have to say. Then his impact on society will effectively be reduced to next to nothing. Where will we be then?

Makes sense, give Bieber a few more years and he'll be walking in Charlie's shoes (frantically pacing actually), wondering what went wrong while trying figure out what do with the unconscious, frothy-mouthed goddess on his kitchen floor.

Why does anybody give a damn what Justin Bieber thinks? Do we ask other 17 year olds for their opinions? No, because as a rule 17 year olds don't know shit. There are exceptions but this schmo isn't one of them.

"There's your fucking refund. Now you can get the f--- out of here."

Um, so you say fucking uncensored and then censor the word fuck? Did you copy and paste this from another article and forget to change the quote?

S.D.

Too funny! I was thinking the same thing!

You know what, Bieber? Obamma got like one hundred million people off their fat asses and into a ballot box. We get it that your too young to put twitter into perspective, but your agent really sucks.

And hey the dinosaurs running Time: Remember little bow wow? Remember Kris Cross? No? Exactly. Fox News is free. MTV celebrity hype is free. The credibility your paying subscribers used to rely on is evaporating.
