Letters: Sheen's endorsement

Published: Thursday, Jan. 24 2013 12:00 a.m. MST

Summary

Elmary Davidson's letter ("Jones right about 'filth,' " Jan. 20) reminded me of a newspaper article published Sept. 26, 2000.

The article quotes Martin Sheen (Charlie Sheen's father) as agreeing with Democratic vice-presidential candidate Joseph Lieberman's criticisms of the film industry. "Half the business called Hollywood is sleaze," Sheen said. He added: "Lieberman is absolutely right. He's one of the few politicians who's willing to stand and say that. A lot of what we do has very little to do with art. It has to do with sleaze and gratuitous sex and unnecessary violence."

So how should Angus T. Jones respond when Charlie Sheen asks him what he really thinks of "Two and a Half Men"? "Ask your dad."

When people on the right find a TV show, radio show or movie objectionable, the condescending left says, "If you don't like it, turn it off."

But when people on the left find a TV show, radio show or More..

The show was funnier when Charlie Sheen was on it. But if you don't like it, Blaine, you have to man up and find the remote.
