On his
website, the
Two and a Half Men cocreator posted the vanity card that would've aired after last night's episode of his sitcom
The Big Bang Theory — had CBS not censored it: "It was more fun writing these things when I was fairly certain no one was reading them," it began. "That is no longer the case. These days it seems like every vanity card is getting scrutinized and criticized by network executives, corporate legal departments and publicity departments, TV journalists and tabloid bloggers. Believe it or not, my musings have been both cheered and jeered by
TV Guide!" Aw, thanks for noticing... I think?Lorre went on to say, perhaps sarcastically, that he was going to "take a break for a few weeks. Let things cool off a little." Instead, he said, "I'm going to display a photograph of a part of my body that is entirely innocuous." The picture, of Lorre's knuckle... well, do you remember Marie Barone's suggestive sculpture in that classic episode of
Everybody Loves Raymond? Yeah, it kinda looked like that.By the way, the vanity card I most recently
Jeered aired after this season's final episode of
Two and a Half Men (now that the network has shut down production due to
Charlie Sheen's scary rants). Its final line could well turn out to be the show's epitaph: "If Charlie Sheen outlives me, I'm gonna be really pissed." At this point, it looks like both Sheen and Lorre may outlive
Two and a Half Men.What do you think of the Charlie Sheen-Chuck Lorre feud?
