U of Minnesota student running to be Sheen's intern

This video about the Mayo Clinic helped get University of Minnesota student and Lakeville South grad Shannah Henderson into the running to be actor Charlie Sheen's social media intern.

Sheen, whose openly erratic behavior, drug use and violent behavior has made him a bizarre figure in Hollywood, is recruiting a new intern through a social media contest, and Henderson has made the top 50 out of more than 80,000 applicants.

She tells the Pioneer Press:

"I personally love Charlie Sheen. I think he's really outrageous and inspiring because he doesn't let anyone tell him how to live ... he doesn't abide by social norms."
