BYU Honor Code Differs Slightly From Charlie Sheen Worldview

Tiger blood and cougar ethics just don't mix.

After learning that Brandon Davies had been dismissed from the Brigham Young University Cougars basketball team for having premarital sex, a clear violation of the BYU Honor Code, Surge Desk couldn't help but reflect on a very different set of moral standards: those of self-destructive actor Charlie Sheen.

Like two ends of an ethical spectrum, here's a handy comparison between the BYU Honor Code and some recent Charlie Sheen quotes.

Drugs
BYU Honor Code: "Abstain from alcoholic beverages, tobacco, tea, coffee, and substance abuse."

Charlie Sheen: "I probably took more than anybody could survive. ... I was banging 7-gram rocks, and finishing them."
Sex
BYU Honor Code: "Live a chaste and virtuous life."

Charlie Sheen: "We [Sheen and the Goddesses] win so radically in our underwear before our first cup of coffee, it's scary. People say it's lonely at the top, but I sure like the view."
Social Interaction

BYU Honor Code: "Respect others."

Charlie Sheen: "I'm underpaid right now, sure. ... I'm tired of pretending like I'm not special. I'm tired of pretending like I'm not bitching, a total frickin' rock star from Mars. People can't figure me out, they can't process me. I don't expect them to. You can't process me with a normal brain."
