Huffpo – Angus T. Jones doesn’t want to be on “Two and a Half Men” anymore. In a video interview with the religious website Forerunner Chronicles, Jones spoke out against the show and called it “filth.” “If you watch ‘Two and a Half Men,’ please stop watching ‘Two and a Half Men,’” Jones says around the 7:45 mark in the video below, which the website billed as “The Testimony of the Awakening of [a] star.” “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,” he continues. “People say it’s just entertainment,” he said. “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 television. It’s bad news.” Jones earns more than $300,000 an episode The sitcom made Jones, who just turned 19, the highest paid child actor on TV. As an adult, he still is among the biggest sitcom earners.
I heard this story all day yesterday but finally got around to viewing that portion of the clip. I'm very confused. Is that the same kid? About the only Two and a Half Men I've seen is when the kid was actually a little kid. And what's up with the black guy? He's just keeps looking at the camera like he's going to go all Marcellus Wallace on us if we didn't listen to Mr. Angus T. Jones. Worked on me, though. I'm never watching that show again.

At least his money has In God We Trust printed on it. Doesn't that make it okay to take that tainted filthy lucre?

It has always been filth! Glad the "kid" has enough in him to speak up like he is! Good Job!
Good for him! I appreciate his stand.
This "stand" is really pointless if he doesn't have the cajones to quit the show. If your morality only goes as far as your paycheck, I really have no use for you.
Sometimes the answer is in the question. Isn't that an oxymoron? A white guy attending an "all black church". How is that if there's a white guy there?? And yeah, 1130, if it's soooo wrong, why doesn't he quit, or donate his money to the church, or something? I agree.
He's probably contractually obligated to keep appearing in the show, so he can't just quit. Who knows what he's doing with his money; since he's a minor, he probably can't control that, either. All he can really do is throw a fit like Sheen or ride out his contract and post his true feelings like this.
Well, at least we know that someone is up at 3am watching Kirk Cameron's religomercials!
He isnt a minor anymore
He has a contract. He can just quit the show and suffer whatever contract consequences. As suggested, he could donate that filthy money he earns till the contract is up.
Yep that's him. It was always funny to us until Charlie left. Don't watch it anymore. It is nasty subject matter, but it doesn't make me want to copy their lifestyle.

Awww, he wants to be one of the 10,000. Hope he stays that way. Hard to do in California, as a child actor, now a young adult.
