If you watch Two and a Half Men (2003), please stop watching Two and a Half Men. I'm on Two and a Half Men, and I don't want to be on it. Please stop watching it, and filling your head with filth. People say it's just entertainment. Do some research on the effects of television and your brain, and I promise you you'll have a decision to make when it comes to television, especially with what you watch.
