We could write about Charlie Sheen's machete-wielding tirade at Two and a Half Men producer Chuck Lorre. We could tell you that Rob Lowe is rumoured to be in the running to replace him in the sitcom. Or that Sheen is officially the most talked about subject online, beating Lady Gaga and the iPad 2. Then again, it could be that you are as sick as we are of hearing that name, so thank you Greg Leuch, creator of Tinted Sheen, an ingenious browser blocker that blacks out all mentions of the star and his antics if you are surfing using Chrome or Firefox. Justin Bieber was the first to receive this treatment but Sheen will surely be even more popular. Download the plugin at http://fffff.at/tinted-sheen and kiss the Sheen phenomenon good night.
