I think they should stage an intervention for him. Someone has to stop him before he kills himself and leaves his children fatherless.
Anyone Else Pissed at the Whole Sheen Situation?

True, but if it's someone you love, you don't give up. It's one thing for a person to make their own choices that affect only them, but it's something entirely different when that person has children. Those children need a stable family, and this is not helping things one bit.
I just see the entire thing as just another boring round of celebrity drama. I've never seen the show, nor do I ever plan to see the show. In fact, before all this drama started, I didn't even know he was ON a show or that there WAS a show. 
That is just how little I care about the comings and goings of Charlie Sheen.

There was an intervention they attempted in the '90s that even Clint Eastwood was a part of.

Really? Well, it would make sense. Clint and Charlie worked together in the film 'The Rookie'.
All that aside, Clint should have pistol-whipped some sense into Charlie's head during that intervention. Maybe then, that would have spared Charlie and a lot of other people this bullshit and insanity that he(Charlie)has caused.
Pissed? No. A little disappointed, but just because I liked the show, and since it was supposed to end next year anyway, was looking forward to them wrapping things up properly instead of just stopping for good 3/4 of the way through a season.

Not pissed but sad. Sort of in the "I'll never watch Mad Max the same away again" kind of sad. Up until CBS actually fired him I had been in the camp of those who felt this was a big Andy Kaufman-like put on, perhaps in some weird effort to shore up a series that, while still popular, is let's face it 8 seasons old, which is aged for any sitcom. Also everyone remembers how Joaquim Phoenix disturbed so many people with his bizarre behavior on Letterman and elsewhere and it all ended up being a spoof for a movie he was doing (and once again Phoenix's shtick was taken right out of Kaufmann's playbook).
Even the "cancellation" of Two and a Half Men played into that because there's the old adage "leave them wanting more". Imagine the ratings the first episode back with Sheen would have scored. When we heard the studio was going to pay the cast and crew for the remainder of the season, that also served as evidence that this might have been some sort of master plan.
And then CBS fired him and antics like drinking "tiger blood" while waving a machete and looking like a reject from The Walking Dead on his webcam show -- and then, bizarrely, scoring a Guinness record with Twitter in the middle of all of this -- took on an air of a man experiencing a nervous breakdown in public. And it stopped being entertaining. A few websites and media outlets made a big deal out of the fact many newsrooms as we speak have obituaries sketched out. As a journalist, I'd have to say if I were the editor of a newspaper I would have done the same thing.
Hopefully Sheen turns things around. I'd still love for the whole thing to be revealed as a gag of some sort.

Charlie Sheen claims that there was not a morals clause (in an Access Hollywood interview). I believe him. He's a big enough star to get it done, and his lawyers would be idiots to leave it in...
Edit: An interesting break-down of some of the clauses that could be in his contract:

I have a feeling this whole thing will be settled, WB basically paying to make Sheen go away. And probably with a non-disclosure attached.
I think that's why the lawsuit was only $100 million and not some crazy number. WB will probably pay him $20 million just to shut the hell up.
