Bi-Winning

Some people might think it's more important to have people see them as a shining example of good. Charlie Sheen however is quite content with people seeing him for the way he is a recovering addict. I chose this to blog about because it's a great example of the social networking phenomenon and because it's relevant i think to marketing ones self. Most companies go out of there way to ensure they have a shiny sparkly image that no one could slander. However Sheen is here telling the world that "he bumps seven gram rocks". You would think that this would ruin his career but it's doing the opposite. Sheen has become more popular after this interviewed aired then I think anyone thought he could or would. He recently set the world record for fastest time to reach one million followers on twitter when he did it in 25 hours and 17 minutes. He plans to pitch products on Twitter now because of this which i'm sure he'll get paid for. This approach obviously couldn't work for everyone but it has for him and he's making the best of it. What do you think after seeing this interview are you more of a Sheen fan or less? Just incase you haven't had a chance to see the interview I've included a link below.
