Extremely off, as should be obvious by now. Still, after his public remarks some time ago about his suspicions that the World Trade Center was destroyed in a “controlled demolition” on September 11th, 2001, you would think that someone who cares about him would have sat Charlie Sheen down for five minutes and straightened him out. Apparently not. From today’s NY Post:

CHARLIE Sheen has confirmed our exclusive story that he’ll narrate a feature version of the stupid YouTube video “Loose Change,” which claims that shadowy U.S. government operatives used explosives to bring down the World Trade Center. “It’s a story that needs to be told. It’s a story about the truth, and the truth needs to be exposed,” the “Two and a Half Men” star told “Extra.” “It’s not just me, not just the Hollywood community [who] is standing up saying what you have given us doesn’t make sense. We just want better answers.” The video pushes the widely debunked “controlled demolition” theory which claims that the Twin Towers and 7 World Trade Center were blown up from within. It alleges the jet-fuel fires inside the towers weren’t hot enough to melt the buildings’ steel beams. The video, written and directed by Dylan Avery, has been scoffed at by the makers of an opposing video, “Screw Loose Change.” Its claims were also soundly refuted by Popular Mechanics magazine, which shot down every single assertion made by the conspiracy theorists.

The Loose Change garbage is easily findable on YouTube. The extraordinarily patient and thorough answering of the offensively stupid questions posed by the makers of the video is available at Popular Mechanics.

Hot Air also has links to a televised debate between the two sides. Again, the Popular Mechanics people are to be commended for their incredible patience. Lies, no matter how mind-numbingly ridiculous, need to be answered. Yet, somehow, there will always be people like Charlie Sheen, who are so utterly seduced by the sanctimonious satisfaction they receive from “questioning authority,” and are at the same time utterly uninterested in listening to and understanding the answers that are right in front of their faces.
