Angus T. Jones - apologizes

Angus T. Jones has just issued a statement ... sorta, kinda apologizing for biting the hand that feeds him when he went off on "Two and a Half Men."

In his statement, Jones praises the honchos behind the sitcom ...saying, "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."

He goes on, "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."

As we previously reported, Jones appeared in a video with a man he considered a spiritual adviser and blasted "Men" ... calling the show "filth" and urging people not to watch it.

Leo Dicapprio, Joseph Gordon-Levitt did good.

The Different Strokes kids went another route.

Angus appear to be going the Kirk Cameron route.

Expect him to start hanging around with Ray Comfort... Maybe doing a sequel to that banana video he and Kirk Cameron did.

He said "I apologize IF...."

(In other words, "I guess it sucks if some people made a big deal out of nothing over this".)

I won't change my viewing habits on the advice of Angus T. Jones. That is to say, I won't stop not watching the show because he said I should start not watching.

If I remember my mythology correctly, Jesus once told a wealthy young man who wanted to go to heaven to give everything he owned to the poor. The young man went away greatly troubled. Perhaps that could give Angus food for thought, although I think not.

... that his church realized how much cash they'd be giving up if he was unable to "tithe" based on his, what, $350,000 per episode?

Sorry, kid, you can't unscrew the pooch. Go, go thou, and be another has-been in "christian" movies, tv, etc., and watch how quickly they proclaim you were once a STAR! Like Cameron, who finds his hands naturally wrap around bananas, 'cuz BabyJesus™.
