Two and a Half Men Co-Creator Half-Apologizes for Being a Total Dick

"Yes, yes - it was a stupid joke," Two and a Half Men co-creator Lee Aronsohn tweeted. "I'm sorry." Kind of a weak apology given how thoroughly he pissed everyone off.

Aronsohn got in trouble for remarks he made during an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. When asked about female-centric sitcoms like 2 Broke Girls, Aronsohn dismissed the genre with, "Enough, ladies. I get it. You have periods." He followed that up with a line that is almost hateful enough to have appeared on Two and a Half Men: "We're approaching peak vagina on television, the point of labia saturation."

Apparently, Aronsohn was just being ironic. Earlier today, he tweeted, "Women, please look up 'irony.'" (In his defense, it's a hard word.) But that tweet has been deleted, and now all that's left is his half-assed apology. Oh, and the comments he made about negative female stereotypes during his keynote address at the Toronto Screenwriting Conference.


Perhaps those remarks were ironic, too. And Two and a Half Men has been a decade-long satire on the patriarchy.
