Unlike some bloggers, The PC doesn't write a bunch of stuff in advance, then set a timer to post later.
Because that would be cheating.
(And because The Blog hasn't figured out how to do it.)
So Part 2 of last night's blog won't happen until, hopefully, tomorrow night.
In case you have been under a rock for the last few days, Angus is the titular "Half" man of the wildly successful and, evidently, indestructible CBS sitcom.
A couple of days ago, Jones posted a video on the YouTube channel of the cult like "Forerunner Chronicles," a supposed offshoot of the Seventh Day Adventist church.
I don't wish to drive any traffic to this video or their web site. But, if you want to catch up, a quick Google search will take you there. You're on your own here.
The Blog doesn't pretend to know much about the Seventh Day Adventist church. They have a church right around the corner from The Blog's house. What I do know is that, after several years of claiming that "Jesus is returning soon!" on their marquise sign, they exhibited a wry sense of humor the day after the supposed Rapture last year by adding "Just not on May 21st."
This is pure speculation on my part, but I suspect that the "Forerunner Chronicles" has as much to do with the Seventh Day Adventists as Warren Jeffs' "Fundamentalist Church of Latter Day Saints" cult has to do with the Mormon church.
*digression*
"The Forerunner Chronicles" sounds less like a church and more like a "Young Reader's" series about student wizards or sparkly vampires.
*end digression*
In the video, young Mr. Young calls his show "filth" and asks people to stop watching the show.
A day later, Angus issued a press release "apologizing" for his comments. The apology reads like it was written in a hurry by a panicked publicist.
“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.”Because calling the show that he has been a part of for the last ten years of his life (and which he is being paid a reported $350,000 per episode) "filth" should not be construed as disrespect.
Emmy award winning television writer, sports announcer and blogger Ken Levine has observed that, "...the next time we see Angus on television will probably be on an "E! True Hollywood Stories" episode or "Celebrity Fit Club."
Angus' Mom is deeply worried about her son's newfound devotion to this organization.
And here is where The Blog has some information that no one else has mentioned.
For all of his mother's hand wringing, she is culpable.
Angus spent his elementary school days, the days of the early seasons of "Two and a Half Men," when he wasn't on set, attending a private school attached to a fundamentalist "Christian" church.
The Blog knows this because one of his teachers at that school is an old college friend of The Blog.
She was fired from the school when she admitted that she had read the Harry Potter novels and thought that they were really nice stories.
Yeah. THAT kind of fundamentalist school!
So, you see, young Angus was well primed to wind up going all Kirk Cameron.
I will say this...
Angus must be one heck of an actor.
In spite of the "filth" that he now derides, he didn't appear to have any problem, this season, when Miley Cyrus was jumping his bones.
My biggest worry is that he may have already turned his $350,000 per episode over to his newfound "church."
But, it happens in Hollywood.
Tom Cruise, John Travolta, Nancy Cartwright and others have all been there.
That's Hollywood.
