‘Two and a Half Men’s’ Angus T. Jones professes his faith, is branded a hypocrite

http://twitter.com/#!/THEHermanCain/status/273470499827363841

“Predictable” charges of hypocrisy? Like this one?

So… Angus T. Jones is giving all the money back, right?

— Fred C. (@oddnoc) November 27, 2012

Cain certainly called it. Angus T. Jones surprised a lot of people, including the producers of the hit CBS TV show “Two and a Half Men,” by appearing in a YouTube video and asking viewers not to watch the comedy, calling it “filth.” What would inspire an actor to ask people not to watch the show in which he appears? In Jones’ case, it was God.

Jones shot the testimonial video with Pastor Christopher Hudson to discuss his becoming a Seventh-day Adventist, but it was his comments on “Two and Half Men” that made the video go viral. “It’s very weird that I’m on a television show, especially now that I am trying to walk with God,” Jones told Hudson. “My television show has nothing to do with God and doesn’t want anything to do with God.”

Jones is reported to have earned $350,000 per episode, but his “blatantly disrespectful comments” (as the New York Daily News characterized them) have many wondering if the actor will give away his “filthy” money now that he’s found religion. Former “Gilmore Girls” star Jared Padalecki was quick to tell Jones what to do with his earnings in order to prove his faith.

#AngusTJones -if you BELIEVE what you said, put ur money where ur mouth is and donate ur “filthy” millions to charity. Try @stjude

— Jared Padalecki (@jarpad) November 27, 2012

Susan Olsen, “Cindy” of the Brady Bunch, has offered to take Jones’ money off of his hands.

My suggestion for Angus T Jones: Yes indeed, T.V. is EVIL! I suggest you take all that wicked money you will be… fb.me/1Nnm0oLAL

— Susan(@SusanOlsen888) November 27, 2012

My suggestion for Angus T Jones: Yes indeed, T.V. is EVIL! I suggest you take all that wicked money you will be making from residuals and give it to a former child star who was in a POSITIVE show that never made residuals. I recomend ME as the perfect recipient!

How are other actors responding to Jones’ video?

“Two Men and an Ungrateful Fuck-toad”

— Zach Braff (@zachbraff) November 27, 2012

You do have to respect Angus T. Jones for promising to return ALL the money he’s ever earned on Two and a Half Men.

— Joshua Malina (@JoshMalina) November 27, 2012

There are certainly a lot of actors making more money than Jones (co-star Charlie Sheen was reported to have been paid $1.8 million per episode), but there’s an unwritten clause that makes money and God incompatible.

Hey Angus T. Jones, you made that money doing “filth” I assume you’re giving it all away, right? Find a nice charity. (landing.newsinc.com/shared/video.h…)

Angus T Jones is offended by “Two and a Half Men”He should quit.Only a hypocrite would take his stance and still collect 350k per show.

— BeGoodOrBeGoodAtIt (@DrewHampton66) November 27, 2012

Dear Angus, return the devil’s money then… don’t cash and preach. No sir. We aren’t having it.

— Tilly Ameera أميرة (@AmeeraBlitz) November 27, 2012

At least Angus T. Jones now has some training for his new-found religiosity: He’s a total hypocrite.

— FilmOnTrial (@FilmOnTrial) November 27, 2012

I assume Angus T Jones is returning the millions he’s made to @cbs. He can’t possibly live w/himself keeping all that immoral money, right?

— Steve C. (@AnalogWalrus) November 27, 2012

Angus T Jones, Two and a Half Men, talking the christian talk, but certainly not walking the walk. Greedy hypocrite.

— Bill Talley (@Political_Bill) November 27, 2012

Devout Christian Angus T. Jones spends 10 years getting rich off of 2 1/2 Men, now says it’s evil. Doesn’t return the money.

— Chris Doucette (@Chris_Doucette) November 27, 2012

I missed the part of the video where Angus T Jones offers to give all that 2 1/2 MEN filth-money away, cd someone pls link?

— James Poniewozik (@poniewozik) November 27, 2012

Angus T. Jones should donate ALL OF HIS MONEY if he’s going to make that stance. Stupid prick.

— Brad (@bradmiska) November 26, 2012

Angus T. Jones says his show is filth and people should stop watching it. He sure seems to likes the pay check. Typical religious hypocrite

— Joey Hillman (@JDK2000) November 27, 2012

entertainment.verizon.com/news/read.php?…Notice, though, that Angus and other religious wackos never, ever turn down those royalty checks?MAJOR hypocrite.

— Donna Di Giacomo (@Beatles0223) November 27, 2012

Hey, Angus T. Jones! If you feel so strongly, QUIT!! Or are you just one more born-again Hypocrite?? I think you are!! Two and a Half Men

— Tom Kidd (@FabulousThomasJ) November 27, 2012

Funny how after 9 seasons Angus T Jones now calls “Two and a half men” “Filth” but didn’t mind the 300G an episode pay check #hypocrite

— Peter Carlin (@PeteCarlin) November 27, 2012

This is why people have to call Christians hypocrites. Why didn’t Angus leave the show?

— Crystal (@MizzCandy09) November 27, 2012

Actually, Jones said that while he’d like to leave the show, he is under a contract that runs until the end of the season. His religious conversion has him thinking longer-term, however. As he says in his testimonial, “There’s no playing around when it comes to eternity.”

Update: Jones has apologized for his comments:

I have been the subject of much discussion, speculation and commentary over the past 24 hours.

While I cannot address everything that has been said or right every misstatement or misunderstanding, there is one thing I want to make clear. Without qualification, I am grateful to and have the highest regard and respect for all of the wonderful people on Two and Half Men with whom I have worked and over the past ten years who have become an extension of my family…

Shocking: Twitter reveals how Ted Cruz bullied Harry Reid

http://twitter.com/#!/PS_Williams/status/331949942518202368

Those public service announcements on bullying seem to be working. Victims of bullying are urged to tell an adult, so Sen. Harry Reid opened up on the Senate floor to confess that he’s the victim of a schoolyard bully named Ted Cruz. Majority Leader Reid didn’t let the shame of being pushed around by the “very junior senator from Texas” keep him from seeking help, but what was the problem, exactly? There have been some rumors going around the schoolyard about just #HowTedCruzBulliedHarryReid, and it’s not pretty.

Some security cameras in the schoolyard caught Cruz in action, and we have to admit: Cruz’ beatdown of Reid is pretty brutal.

5-Year-Old Girl Stuns Judges With Her Beautiful Rendition of You Raise Me Up.

“You Raise Me Up” is far from an easy song to sing. Most people need years of singing experience to do it justice. This is why everyone was amazed when 5-year-old Celine Tam stepped onto the stage and started singing like an angel.

The whole audience was on their feet and clapping along by the end of her performance. She clearly has a bright future ahead of her.

(Source: Tam Steve)

What a beautiful voice. To be able to give the song that emotion and intensity it requires at age 5 is nothing short of incredible.

Imagine Seeing THIS While You"re Out For A Walk. Even Crazier? What He"s Doing There.

Officer Joel Zwicky of the Green Bay Police Department is clearly the world’s coolest cop. While most police officers patrol their neighborhoods in squad cars, on bikes or even on horseback, Wisconsin cop Zwicky decided to take patrolling to a whole new awesome level. By mixing his love of skateboarding with his job, Joel became the local legend that is “Skateboard Cop”.

According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, officer Zwicky has been with the Green Bay Police Department in Wisconsin for 10 years, and when the 40-year-old pitched the idea of a skateboard patrol to his commander two years ago as a bit of a joke, he wasn’t really expecting his CO to agree that it was a great idea. (H/T: Milwaukee Journal Sentinel) Share this cool cop with your friends and family below.

The Unmanned Antares Rocket Exploded During Take-Off. Watch the Video.

An unmanned supply rocket bound for the International Space Station exploded in a giant fireball on Tuesday evening. The rocket went up in flames shortly after its launch from Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia.

Hundreds of millions of dollars worth of equipment were aboard. The equipment ranged from “classified cryptographic” gear, to various testing devices and school science experiments. Technicians working for the private space transport services company, Orbital Sciences Corp, were forced to detonate a self-destruct mechanism six seconds after launch because of “catastrophic” equipment failure on the Antares rocket.

Below are videos of the incident.

That looks like a pretty awful explosion. Thank goodness no one was hurt.

#FreeCoryBooker: Live coverage of the Cory Booker hostage crisis

http://twitter.com/#!/jimgeraghty/status/204561698227617792

If you enjoyed a blissfully politics-free day Sunday, you missed Newark Mayor Cory Booker call Team Obama’s attacks on Bain Capital and private equity firms “crap.” The rare moment of honesty from an Obama surrogate won points with many on the Right and attracted bile from the Left.

With the onslaught of hate and demands that he get back to toeing the line, Booker quickly recorded a YouTube video clarifying his statements. RNC staffer Tim Miller called it a “hostage tape.”

Hostage tape MT @chrisdonovannbc: Booker posts video after saw "so much feedback" to his comments on #MTP – http://t.co/iQKavldc”

— Tim Miller (@Timodc) May 20, 2012

And it wasn’t enough for the Obama campaign whose editors sliced and diced nearly four minutes into a 30 second endorsement.
