'Big Bang Theory' co-creator asks Julian Assange to hack Donald Trump

When it comes to politics, entertainers have a vast platform and CBS television's Chuck Lorre knows exactly how he wants to use it.

The Mom creator used his show's vanity cards -- the production company logos that flash by at the end of an episode -- to write an open letter encouraging Julian Assange to hack Trump where it hurts.

"The job's only half-way done!" Lorre wrote, referencing Assange's Wikileaks history and actions during the election. "You need to show us you're not just another gun for hire and hose down the other mosh pit. You know what I'm talking about. The tax returns, the out-takes, maybe even some freaky-deaky-golden-leaky beauty pageant video action. Time to step up, J-man."

This isn't the first time Lorre has used his shows' vanity cards for a political message, though it is one of the most overt. Right after the presidential election, cards for both Mom and his other creation, The Big Bang Theory, simply said "Uh-oh."

An Open Letter to Julian Assange

Dear Jules,

Belated congrats on your whole Mr. Robot thing. You promised to use the Internet to expose and bring down all the corrupt bastards ruining our world, and boy did you almost follow through. Julie baby! Boychick! The job's only half-way done! You need to show us you're not just another gun for hire and hose down the other mosh pit. You know what I'm talking about. The tax returns, the out-takes, maybe even some freaky-deaky-golden-leaky beauty pageant video action. Time to step up, J-man. If you wanna be a cyber Fidel, or a digital Che, or a virtual Ho, you've gotta stop stuffing your face with arroz con pollo and get to work. It's time to go all Talking Heads on this situation. Burning down the house, bubelah! You're one wikiwacky-leak away from being a hero. Or maybe a martyr. Ecuadorean potato soup, Ecuadorean puhtahto soup, they're usually the same thing.

Hugs to Vlad,

Chuck

P.S. Love your hair, very nouveau Morlock
