Take some of your filthy lucre and travel outside this country. Go help people on an Indian reservation. Help out the Sandy victims in NY/NJ. Campaign to stop human trafficking. Get outside yourself. Maybe you will still feel the same way, and I don't blame you. The show is shitty. I've never been all that keen that a kid was in the show. I laugh at the jokes sometimes, but it isn't a show for kids and I don't know if you were shielded from some of the more questionable stuff.

Get in touch with some other kid actors, but not Kirk Cameron. They have been where you are, more or less. And don't put everything that pops into your head on Youtube.

All that money, vs Jesus.

But this is America! All sins are forgiven, because Jesus!

The other part thinks this kid is a hypocritical jerk and the best way to get him back would be to watch the show. I mean, not really watch it, because it's terrible, but I could turn it on, go out for ice cream, and come back when it's over.

Because, on the topic of contracts, I'd expect there is some clause in there about 'You can't go around telling people to NOT watch the show.'

1) We should love our neighbors as we love ourselves.
2) Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.
3) "Two and a Half Men" sucks.

That'd be fantastic.

Believe it or not the show's producer, Chuck Lorre, sounds like a pretty cool guy. At the end of every show he apparently flashes a personal message on the screen, done so quickly as to require a pause function to even see it. And right before the election he layed into Mitt pretty hard and effectively...

So he's gonna milk it.

He WANT'S to be fired because if he is they have to pay out the rest of his contract. And if they don't he knows they pay him more to un-find Jeebus, shut his trap, and finish out the season.

Bullshit like this happens all the time in the entertainment business. But now the internet adds a delicious layer on top of it so we can bare witness.

If the series is still in-production (which I believe it is), then quitting would essentially result in a breach of contract and Mr. Jones would be liable for a pretty substantial penalty, not to mention loss of significant income. So, while his Christian moral precepts may compel him to tell people not to watch, obviously his economic precepts are telling him to stay on-board and keep collecting the paychecks.

In short, he's a big, fat, hypocritical weasel - but, that just puts him in a fairly large pool of similar weasels when it comes to so-called "Christians" working in Hollywood.

@9:

For whatever reason, "Two And A Half Men" continues to be one of the most popular sitcoms on network TV, ranked 5th most-watched prime time broadcast for the week ending 11/18. So, there's no way CBS is going to cancel it; which leaves Mr. Jones with the option of either quitting (which he appears rather reluctant to do on his own, opting instead to try to somehow suppress viewership, a rather bizarre tactic, given that the constituency he's trying to reach in his video, namely Christians, would seem unlikely to watch in the first place, and at-best constitute a very small segment of the show's viewing audience), or else he's hoping to raise so much of a stink that the producers feel they have no choice but to fire him, which I seriously doubt they would be eager to do considering the show's overall success.

Angus Jones, I'm so sorry to see that you are a delusional jesus-cultist due to your childhood indoctrination, please help yourself with these books:

1.God: The Failed Hypothesis. How Science Shows That God Does Not Exist(physicist)

2.The Christian Delusion: Why Faith Fails

3.Why We Believe in God(s): A Concise Guide to the Science of Faith(psychiatrist)

4.Religion Explained(cognitive anthropologist)
