I think it's more using the anti-Semitic slur on his boss that's gotten him in doodoo.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

That explains the vanity card at the end of tonight's Big Bang Theory.

What did it say? I know he put one up a week or so ago calling Charlie out.

It just said "CENSORED!" (no quotes, exclamation point, all caps).

I would assume that an antisemitic slur directed at the producer of your show might have more impact on whether you still have a show then one directed at a cop would.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Hookers and blow! Hookers and blow! He obviously didn't respect his boss--he just hadn't gotten around to being offensive to him yet.

Quester, do you have something very similar to peanut butter. Maybe another nut butter? Would nutella work? Marshmallow fluff? I'm doubtful that substitutions are going to be successful.

The vanity card on Two and a Half Men a few weeks ago was

“I exercise regularly. I eat moderate amounts of healthy food. I make sure to get plenty of rest. I see my doctor once a year and my dentist twice a year. I floss every night. I’ve had chest x-rays, cardio stress tests, EKG’s and colonoscopies. I see a psychologist and have a variety of hobbies to reduce stress. I don’t drink. I don’t smoke. I don’t do drugs. I don’t have crazy, reckless sex with strangers.

If Charlie Sheen outlives me, I’m gonna be really pissed.”

And the one on Mike and Molly was,

He felt dead inside.

No matter how hard he partied, he could never escape that simple fact — inside, dead.

And that was his life.

Running from a feeling.

At least until he could run no more.

Exhausted, spent and beaten, when the end finally came, he welcomed it.

With life ebbing from his wasted body, he was suddenly swept up in a transcendent state of joy that was pure and complete.

Moments later he felt dead inside.”

then one directed at a cop would.

Didn't he say he wanted a pack of niggers to rape his girlfriend? He didn't just dip a toe into the racist pond, he waggled his ass around in it.

Hookers and blow! Hookers and blow!

I remember reading somewhere that they wanted to shut down production earlier in the season, and as long as Charlie was showing up for work, they could do nothing to declare him unfit for work. And if they shut it down anyway, without him being in breach of his contract, Charlie was going to sue them for breach of contract. I think their hands have been tied, legally, however crazy that may sound.

ETA: Bear in mind I am not a lawyer and I don't really pay attention much to the Charlie saga, but I think that's what I heard.

Ooh, you're right. I was just remembering the incident from a few years ago, not the one from a few months ago. I'm not sure that I've seen him hired for anything since then, but I haven't really been paying attention.
