Angus T. Jones, WTF?

I didn’t write about this yesterday because my mind was filled with NeNe/Kim drama and Lindsay Lohan, but I’m writing about this today because it’s escalating. Angus T. Jones, the little boy (who’s now a little man) from Two and a Half Men took to the interwebs in an interview urging people to stop watching the “filth” known as Two and a Half Men. Yeah, he did it…he bit the hand that feeds him. So nuts! He’s so brainwashed.

Check it out:

Anyway, today there was a report that Angus’ mom thinks he’s being exploited by his church…and rightfully so! She told The Daily Mail, ”I’m concerned he’s being exploited by the church.” Usually it’s the crazy parent that exploits their kid, but it looks like he did this one on his own merits. His poor mother. 

Side note: I’m glad that he’s contributing to his own filth by earning $350,000/episode. The best part about this whole thing is Angus saying, “I know God has me there for a reason for another year.” Right, because he has one more year on his contract, and God would want him to make more money…Ha. If he doesn’t like it, he should quit now and not be a sellout. Listen, I’m all for believing in a higher power, but people that take anything to an extreme scare the crap out of me.

    MS-Let’s hope not. I stopped watching this show when I discovered Conchata Ferrel wasn’t the star- so episode 2.And yes-I know I mis-spelled that.

    i was called out on my Grimm recap bc i hated watching juliette kiss renard… and then in comments i explained my uptightness (and used two and a half men as an example). while i agree that his new found religion seems a bit intense, i do agree that some tv is garbage… granted it’s garbage that i watch with bated breath… but it’s garbage… and if he wants to get himself fired and find a new path, more power to him and his faux Urban Outfitter glasses. To each his own.

    The only other episodes I watched were the first Kutcher one (crap) and the memorial one with Kathy Bates
    WHY CANCEL HER SHOW??? And all I can say is I hope Conchata is making a lot of money and slowly poisoning the men on the show.

    Never watched, never will. Why are hypocrites so vocal about their hypocracy?

    I’m suuuuuuuure the Almighty is just urging this fool to keep working on a show he considers filth and rake in the bucks. That’ll show those sinners.

    Been a Conchata Ferrell fan from the start, and Kathy Bates is da bomb!

    Wish the show would.

    The thought that keeps running though my brain is, what the hell kind of karmic debt is Chuck Lorre saddled with? I mean he has the hugely successful show and yet it all but implodes him. He has all of these people that work to make it happen and employs people that continually spit in his face.

    Let’s keep in mind that this kid spent his formative years spending way too much time in the company of Charlie Sheen. Likely more than even Sheen’s own daughters. Something like this was bound to happen to him.

    1) That show is awful. Bad writing, bad comedy, just awful all the way around.
    2) This poor kid is OBVIOUSLY getting sucked into a very intense religious movement. Normally, when someone finds God, etc. I say – good for you! But I hesitate when the leader of this church essentially manipulates this kid into giving an interview IN HIS TRAILER that he KNEW would get them lots of internet hits. This is NOT about God’s will, this is about a preacher using a naive kid to get exposure – and that is the opposite of Godly.
    3) If he (Angus) did want to spread the Word, and make a change, he’d do it by donating his salary and maybe witnessing to his costars? Try that. Instead these very intense religious freaks isolate themselves into an us/them mentality. Which is kind of the opposite of what Jesus preached.

    Sorry to get so deep, but it bugs me to see this kid being taken advantage of. I hope he gets his head clear soon.

    I’m with VGirl. He spent waaaaaaaaaaaaay too much time with the wrong person. At least one.

    He needed to be saved, I suppose, but by whom isn’t really clear.

    @eye..mio has some valid, if serious, points.

    Kid, STFU and sit back. If you felt so fucking strongly then quit and go be a priest somewhere.

    This pisses me off. There are people whose homes were obliterated by a storm recently and this ass is talking shit about a show that earns him money that not many will see in a lifetime. Fine, hate your job, most do anyway, but don’t shit where you eat and keep on earning money for lackluster performances. I don’t care about your religious beliefs, Angus, but if you were so fucking saved you’d be donating time and effort to help others and not spouting this ridiculous shit. Whatever. You hate the show? Donate your whole paycheck. Otherwise sit down and shut up.

    Remember that show Chachata did with- damn-can’t remember his name either-he was on theOpen all night courthouse show.. It was splendiferous. I’d look it up by the computer’s been wonky and I have MOR’s and expense reports to get out. There was a tall bailiff. Then there was a bus station.I may be mixing 2 shows up. But it beat the hell out of theis crapp. Shee needs to be flushed down the outhouse in Slumdog that doesn’t even exist.

    @KM. Night Court was a terrific show with Harry Anderson, but Conchata was not in it as I recall. Markey (sp) Post was in it — well the cast was wonderful.

    Can’t think of another night courthouse show.

    @kartofflmuter-you’re thinking of night court, an absolutely outstanding 80s comedy (one of my all time faves). john laroquette was the d.a., and he was also in the show about the bus station (which i also liked a lot). but i can’t figure out what show they were on together. (although according to imdb she did guest star on night court once). is any of this ringing a bell for you?

    Have you ever thought poor Angus is stuck between a stage mother and Charlie Sheen and the unreal world of Hollywood and had no one to take him aside and say,”look kid,the world is really not like this. There are baseball games and birthday parties and regular days at school without pervert old men.And you don’t have to choose from extremes. You can just sit around and space out and be a kid and that’s alright? Maybe the kid’s gay and Miley scared the crap out of him and that’s not OK.That’s child abuse. He was a sweet little boy. And his mom is literally a Dick.

    Clouds-he may be taller than you-but he is jus a kid. Really. He’s a bewildered little kid. He doesn’t look like Lindsey Lohan-but he’s doing the male version of ” where the hell is my head and who stole my feet?”

    I don’t really “watch this show…but it was on the in between the big bang and I was to lazy to change the channel! It was the one with Miley Cyrus so it was a fairly episode. I don’t like Sheen and I can’t stand that fuckwad Kutcher.

    But The only thing I can remember Conchata is was Mystic Pizza. Really do like that movie. I do believe it was also one of Julia Roberts first movies. Before Steel Magnolias.

    What is sad is that I can’t stand this show. But We do watch reruns of Roseanne and We love Big Bang. Must be because we actually find some humor in those 2 shows…

    This dude is getting 350k per episode…there are what maybe 30 episodes in a season…he has to work like 10..bastard! plus now that this show is in syndication that guy is set for life…Give it up dude, you don’t like you show, or your bosses, just quit. Write a check for 10 % of your worth and give it to your pastor, and call it good! If this show IS picked up for season 11 I am sure chuck can find a replacement for you. But from what I have read, they all signed a 1 year extension to their contract, and they gave Angus more money so quit your bitchin!

    @Buggy, You are among those who made good sense. Give the money to the church if you don’t want to give it to valid charities. Whatever, STFU!!!!!

    I remember Farrell best from LA Law, a stellar series.

    His mother EXPLOITED him by putting him in the show when he was only 12. SHE signed the contracts, including the one currently binding him to a show he hates. His money has been siphoned off by mom, an agent, a press agent, and other people who all get their cut.

    He is apparently trying to get fired so he can get out from under all the crap. He can’t just quit. That’s not the way contracts work.

    Is he a little extreme at the moment? Yes. But he’ll settle into his faith.

    I wonder if he would be meeting with such vitriol from some of you if he had turned his back on a “Christian” show to announce he’s really gay.

    True Fact: If I ever had to spend as much time with Charlie Sheen AND Ashton Kutcher as this kid did, I’d join a religious cult too.

    Okay, joking aside, I’m giving him slight (very slight) leeway because he is only nineteen. I said stupid things about my employers at that age too. And yes, they got back to my bosses. I hope he gains some sense soon, because the kid does seem like he’s earnest about maintaining the straight and narrow path. It’s just sad that it’s at the hands of a strict church that is bordering on a cult. Considering how much time he spent around Charlie Sheen, I’d say he probably got scared into their greedy arms watching that freak show.

    P.S. My captcha code is “winning”. Really?

    Now, where is Jon Cryer to give this poor kid a man to boy chat?

    Just a correction. His mother first put him on the show when he was 6, not 12. She’s been cashing in on him since he was a first grader.

    Moral of the story: don’t put your kids on TV. Many fade into obscurity, some (Neil Patrick Harris and Tiffany-Amber Theissen some to mind) have show biz careers, but a lot end up just like this jerk: deluded, confused, preachy, and sad.

    Seriously, he’s an adult now. If the show is so \filthy\ and he hates it so much he could find a lawyer and figure out a way to get out of his contract. I don’t understand what beef he and his church have with the show anyway. I’ve seen maybe two episodes and they weren’t offensive or dirty: they were BORING. If he thinks Two and a Half Men is filthy, clearly he’s barely watched anything else on TV.

    Personally, I think he should either donate every cent he’s made from the show to a church or charity, or STFU. Most of us would be ridiculously grateful to make that kind of money for nothing more difficult than acting in a mediocre sitcom.

    Why can’t you just live “righteously” and pray for the rest of us? Why do many Christians feel the need to tell others what to think or feel? That’s why people get upset about religion? What makes you any more right than I am.
