Nobody Likes Ashton's Naked 2.5 Men Poster

Mostly because it features other, less attractive, nude people

(Newser) – Ashton Kutcher's new Two and a Half Men promo poster is out, and it's a doozy (click to see it). It features a maybe-naked Kutcher alongside similarly un-clothed co-stars Jon Cryer and Angus T. Jones. Reactions:

  • "Hands up right now: Which red-blooded American women out there never ever want to see Jon Cryer naked? How about his young Two and a Half Men costar, Angus T. Jones?" writes TL Stanley in AdWeek. "No. I repeat, NO."
  • "The human body is a beautiful thing, and it should be noted that oftentimes Ashton Kutcher's human body is a very beautiful thing," writes Richard Lawson on Gawker. "But that does not mean I want to see him standing next to the naked cadavers of Angus T. Beefburger (or whatever) and Jon Cryer. ... I just do not like CBS doing a terrible gross poster for its terrible gross show."

  • There is one thing, at least, to be happy about: That this campaign started after, not before, Charlie Sheen left the show. "We do NOT need to see Charlie Sheen naked … even if it's only implied," writes Perez Hilton.
  • But not everyone is disgusted: "Jones sure doesn't look that little anymore. Does he even qualify as a 'Half' anymore?" writes Sheri Reed on The Stir. But don't worry, she's not lusting after the nearly-18-year-old child star, she just thinks it's "adorable" how grown-up he looks.

Nothing disgusting about the promo, you see more skin on the beach, what's the big deal. On the other hand I am so-o-o sick of Asthon, his little pranks on PUNK'ed , he weak acting on 70's , now he's Demi's little man. Besides what you think of The Sheen Machine, he was carrying everybody in that show, the kid is a goof, John Cryer, barely holds his own. Another smart move Chuckie, you could have just bit the bullet and mended the fence with Sheen and you'd be raking in several million per week. Ego's ... Lorrie vs Sheen

Why is it ok to imply that this minor is naked? Can you imagine what the press would be saying if that was Miley Cyrus behind a humongous white square?

I wonder how much they were paid to try to make this poster controversial?
