Press Release: The Art of War as told by Sun Tzu and Charlie Sheen = TheArtofCharlie.com

PRLog (Press Release) – Mar 04, 2011 – A PowerPoint presentation has been released at TheArtofCharlie.com entitled, “The Art of War, as told by Sun Tzu and Charlie Sheen”.  Charlie Sheen, with his myriad latest quotes, has clearly reinvented the classic war tome.  Four examples from the presentation:

“The quality of decision is like the well-timed swoop of a falcon which enables it to strike and destroy its victim.” – Sun Tzu

“Every plan I have is the best plan in the room.” – Charlie Sheen

—

“Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win.” – Sun Tzu

“The only thing I’m addicted to right now is winning.” – Charlie Sheen

—

“If you are far from the enemy, make him believe you are near.” – Sun Tzu

“There’s a new sheriff in town. And he has an army of assassins.” – Charlie Sheen

—

“Pretend inferiority and encourage his arrogance.” – Sun Tzu

“I’m tired of pretending I’m not a total bitchin’ rock star from Mars.” – Charlie Sheen
