--Meanwhile, 63% of those polled claim they're not even paying attention to the headlines or any of Charlie's crazy talk.  35% admit they're keeping up with it.

--As for those who are paying attention, only 18% side with Charlie in his battle with the producers of "Two and a Half Men".  And 57% side with the producers.  20% say they support NEITHER.  (--I guess that leaves 5% as undecided.)

--Despite the public's supposed indifference, Charlie has racked up 2 million Twitter followers and counting, less than one week after launching his account.

--He Tweeted, quote, "Another record shattered.  We gobbled the soft target that was 2.0 mil, like a bag of a troll-house zombie chow."
