Turns out that the Sheen quote is real. It was just reported on CP24. Though they could have seen the same article we did and misinterpreted it (if it was indeed satire)
Since it's on the Daily Current, it's satire. But Sheen probably wishes he said itSheen is in town currently shooting a movie - so it could very well be real
There's nobody like Rob... Nooooooobody,

Did Mel Lastman ever admit to copying this catch-phrase from an auto dealership? I grew up in the town of Dryden, in northwestern Ontario. In the 1960s and early 1970 a local dealership called Scumerough Motors (spelling?) aired a series of TV commercials that all ended with the phrase "Who has better prices than Scumerough Motors... nooooobody!" using the exact same intonation and pitch of voice as the much later Bad Boy advertisements. This was copied in the 1970s and 1980s by a Winnipeg auto dealership that used the same phrase but with their dealership name instead, and finally by Bad Boy Furniture in the 1990s. I would always shake my head when I heard the Bad Boy advertisements, remembering the nearly identical phrase used by Scumerough Motors several decades earlier.
Agree with earlier observation that Renata must have really given Robbie a going-over last night, judging by his off-script wacky performance this morning. What a train wreck.
Good catch.
That CurrAnt site is well-known for being so unfunny and badly written that its articles get mistaken for news reports of real but slightly odd events. Goes 'viral' for that reason every now and then; never for being funny or trenchant.

Given what he said this more about err, boxes, I'd rather not bring Renata in the picture again.
