To me, this opinion is fine and he is okay expressing it. Look, I often find the show very funny, but it includes recreational drug use, sex outside of marriage (often in multiples greater than 2), extramaterial affairs, theft, sloth and envy. Kind of like life - and it is often the highest rated comedy there is, but you should feel free to be offended by or not watch it.

Add to this that Angus was a very young child when he parents got him this gig. I don't think you can fault an 8 year old for the choices his parents make. And now he doesn't want to be on or support the show (albeit he does take home $7.9 Million a year for it). Honestly, I think that is fine and I don't begrudge him the ability to knock it at all.

But the wussy press release that he and his agent did to cover his ass - well that does fall at the feet of the multi-millionaire 19 year old. Here is the "clarification" in full. I don't think this jives with his comments that the show fills your head with filth.

That or he has the "highest regard" for filth mongers.

That or he has the highest regard for $7,900,000.00 per year.

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 over the past ten years and who have become an extension of my family.
Chuck Lorre, Peter Roth and many others at Warner Bros. and CBS are responsible for what has been one of the most significant experiences in my life to date. I thank them for the opportunity they have given and continue to give me and the help and guidance I have and expect to continue to receive from them.
I also want all of the crew and cast on our show to know how much I personally care for them and appreciate their support, guidance and love over the years. I grew up around them and know that the time they spent with me was in many instances more than with their own families. I learned life lessons from so many of them and will never forget how much positive impact they have had on my life.
I apologize if my remarks reflect me showing indifference to and disrespect of my colleagues and a lack of appreciation of the extraordinary opportunity of which I have been blessed. I never intended that.
