VIDEO of 2 and a Half Men Star: ‘You Cannot Be a True God-Fearing Person and Be on a Television Show Like That.’
via Angus T. Jones calls Two and a Half Men ‘filth’ – chicagotribune.com.
Actor Angus T. Jones, star of CBS’s raunchy television comedy “Two and a Half Men”, has urged viewers to change the channel, saying his new-found religious beliefs are at odds with his job playing a fun-loving teen on the popular show.
Jones, 19, who has played Jake Harper – the son of Jon Cryer’s character Alan – for nine years, appealed to fans to stop watching the show “and filling your head with filth.”
TMZ is reporting that the executives on “Two and a Half Men” and at Warner Bros. have seen Jones’s video where he calls the show “filth,” but that neither Jones nor his representatives have contacted the higher ups to announce his departure. At the same time, executive producer Chuck Lorre hasn’t responded to Jones’s comments yet either, a Zap2It television blog reported today.
Jones is headed in to a “Two and a Half Men” rehearsal this morning, according to Zap2It.
In a YouTube video made for the California-based Forerunner Christian Church, Jones said his recent Bible studies made him uncomfortable with the risque humor that marks one of the most-watched comedies on U.S. television.

Greetings:
I’m not all that much of a Christian, but I’ve had problems with the concept of that show since its inception. While I personally found it easy to avoid, the idea of having a young child involved in such a misguided sexually-driven production struck me as either particularly crass or deviously contrived. When one factors in the relatively early evening hours it was broadcast in, it became apparent that exposure to youngsters was something that the producers and broadcaster cared not a wit about. The long-term “success” of the show and the requisite move into syndication now has the program being broadcast by subsidiary channels in the afternoons and very early evenings.
I can’t help but wonder if Mrs. Clinton, of “It takes a village…” fame has an opinion on what it takes to corrupt a child.

Most sit coms aren’t worth watching since they have all devolved into the same nonsense of highly sexualized relationships and hostile power battles between men and women over who rules the relationship (almost always with the woman winning by threatening to withhold sex). They are indeed a vehicle for promoting the liberal lifestyle and beliefs while mocking everything else (except Islam).
So: are they now going to kill off Jake too?
An IED incident in Afghanistan (“Jake” is in the military now) would suffice, and would be really, really funny. Not.
If the young actor found religious wellbeing in a black religious community, I ask what happened in the black religious community that voted for Obama?
