Listen to the Kid: Two and a Half Men is a Horrible Show

I never thought to much of Two and a Half Men was much of a show, with or without Charlie Sheen, but I expected that those making millions from the program would be somewhat supportive.  Not so.  Angus T. Jones, who plays the "half man" Jake, attempted to steer all of us away from the series during his interview with Christopher Hudson from the Bible-focused Forerunner Chronicles

In an interview where Angus T. Jones discussed his new found christian faith, he went on to state:

Jake from Two and a Half Men means nothing. He is a non-existent character...If you watch Two and a Half Men, please stop watching Two and a Half Men. I'm on Two and a Half Men and I don't want to be on it. Please stop watching it.  Please stop filling your head with filth. People say it’s just entertainment...Do some research on the effects of television and your brain, and I promise you you’ll have a decision to make when it comes to television, especially with what you watch on the television.  It's bad news...You might not have heard it otherwise.

Angus T. Jones goes on to align the show with "the enemy's plan," and states that a "true christian" cannot be on such a show.  I am not sure what this means about his future with the series.  What is interesting is that Hudson seemed uncomfortable in the video as Jones was denouncing Two and a Half Men.  You can watch the video here on YouTube.  This is actually part two of a 30 minute interview.  Angus T. Jones' statements on his role as Jake are about 7.37 minutes into the second video.

While this was an authentic interview, I cannot say anything positive about the Forerunner Chronicles.  This is a paranoid "christian" organization that still has stories about black helicopters, the "symbol of the beast," and the coming doomsday.  What is scary is that Angus T. Jones stated that his is a fan of the organization and its ideas.  Maybe someone from the Forerunner Chronicles needs to be the next one to come out and renounce the organization's crazy statements.

Update:  So, after Charlie Sheen offered Angus a job on Anger Management, the producers of Two and a Half Men have taken Angus back for another season.  CBS Entertainment President Nina Tassler said “He apologized and we’ve moved on.”  She added,“The kid is 19 years old. I've got a 24-year-old. Between the ages of 19 and 24, there's been plenty of things my kid has said that I wish he hadn't."  I guess filth has its benefits.
