why laugh at gaddafi?

A quiz by The Guardian asks if you can correctly attribute ridiculous quotations either to Gaddaffi or Charlie Sheen.  Why is there this push to make fun of him, but not other leaders of the Arab world?  Granted, it’s pretty funny that his lines could be mistaken for Sheen’s, but Sheen isn’t firing anti-aircraft guns at people.
