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

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.

I wanna know how many times ita can yell HOOKERS AND BLOW!

Actually, I'm not sure the one from BBT tonight had to do with Charlie Sheen, now that I read the "uncensored" version (go here [link] and then click "view the censored 333"). It sounds like he's been getting a lot of grief from CBS legal or Standards or whatever.

I just assumed "CENSORED!" was his response to Charlie Sheen, since his real response would have been unprintable. Which is probably true, but I don't think the BBT vanity card had anything to do with that.

Wait, wasn't that Mel Gibson?

Mel Gibson is working in a movie Jodie Foster's directing, last I heard.

There's apparently been some hand-wringing for a while that the lack of a morals clause on Sheen's contract meant they couldn't fire him as long as he showed up and did his job. Which he apparently did without fail. I imagine calling the show a badly-written tincan is more the proximate cause of any disciplinary/retribution/whatever than anything.

Why do I know this? I don't watch the show and I don't care about Charlie sheen or Chuck Lorre.
