I have never watched an episode of the CBS-TV series "Two-and-a-Half Men," which used to star Charlie Sheen along with Jon Cryer and Angus Jones, and now features Ashton Kutcher.
But the comments section on this Deadline Hollywood article about the young Jones making $300,000 per episode and then urging people to stop watching are worth a read....

Insofar as I'm concerned, the kid's been on that show for ten seasons now; and if the show's racy content ever bothered him, then he should have quit long before he vented his spleen here. But I guess money talks better than what passes for "God" in the right-wing Christian evangelical world he put himself in.

"I think honesty is of the first, utmost importance in art... any art. After that comes technique and... after that comes talent. Honesty is first. All the rest of the things are important, too, but they're secondary. Without honesty, I don't care how much technique you have, you have nothing."--Linda Ronstadt

Angus Jones "apologizes" for his earlier statement ... and gives his rationale for signing up for another season of the series...

Apparently 350 grand a week can buy a lot of detergent ;D
