Two & A Half Men Star Finds Religion, Loses Mind

Who knew crazy was contagious? From People.

As an atheist, I have a very low tolerance level for religious foolishness. I understand that I'm supposed to respect peoples' religious beliefs. In point of fact, I don't. Well, let's not be too harsh. I respect your right to believe anything you wish. But I reserve the right to think that those beliefs are stupid.

In the stupid category I would put radical, nutbar religions like Seventh Day Adventists. And into that religion did one Angus T. Jones apparently fall. In what I'm hoping is either a publicity stunt, or a classic Punk'd episode with costar Ashton Kutcher, Jones--who plays Jake Harper, the half man of the title--has come out against the show. The show that made him a star, and is solely responsible for anyone knowing or caring what he has to say.  As I said, I hope it's all a ruse. If it's not, he's playing with the livelihoods of his costars and those of everyone associated with the show, all based on nothing more than this addle-brained, crazy-pants religious sect. And I'd lay money on Angus being very embarrassed by all of this when he outgrows his "religious phase." I may actually believe he's for real if he gives back all of the money he's gained from his "filthy" show.

Ashton Kutcher Just Tooted

OK, so while I'm on an Saturday Night Live kick, here's a bit ("Tooter": Because I'm that important) that was cut from this weekend's show. Sometimes I think they should consult some audience members before cutting things from the show. There were several skits that fell flat on Saturday, that weren't as funny as this skit. But then again, I like fart jokes!

Can't Be Real: An All White Basketball League?

UPDATE: Thanks to friend and contributor Stupid Monkey Planet for doing the legwork and confirming that it is indeed a hoax. Had to be! Thanks, Monkey.

Rant - All-White Basketball League: Hoax!

ORIGINAL POST:

Really? It's not April Fool's Day, Ashton Kutcher stopped making Punk'd years ago, and this doesn't seem to be from The Onion. But I'm still suspicious. Could there really be a group of people so out-of-touch in 2010? Really? I'm just having a hard time believing it's true.

[Excerpt]

New basketball league open to whites only, to get away from the ‘street-ball’ played by ‘people of color.’

new professional basketball league called the All-American Basketball Alliance (AABA) sent out a press release on Sunday saying that it intends to start its inaugural season in June, with teams in 12 U.S. cities. However, the AABA is different from other sports leagues because only players who are “natural born United States citizens with both parents of Caucasian race are eligible to play in the league.” AABA commissioner Don “Moose” Lewis insists that he’s not racist, but he just wants to get away from the “street-ball” played by “people of color” and back to “fundamental basketball.” Lewis cited the recent incidents of bad behavior by NBA players, implying that such actions would never happen with white players. . .

Ashton Kutcher on Proposition 8

On this week's season finale of Real Time with Bill Maher, guest Ashton Kutcher expressed his anger at the very existence of California's Proposition 8. He gets it! He's certainly not the dim-bulb he played on That 70s Show, that's for sure. Bravo, Mr. Kutcher. And, Demi? You're a lucky lady.

Nation Punk'd!

I want to wake up to this reality: Ashton Kutcher pulls of his greatest prank. Al Gore actually won the 2000 election! It's all a great big joke! Gore's real term commences immediately.
