I was going to mention about the smap guy too. What a contrast. I had not really thought about it before, but this pushes Japanese society up one notch in my book. Sheen's behavior is practically celebrated in the US (with all the coverage it gets), while if he actually was Japanese he would have been put in his place a long time ago.
