Funny Funny Man




People often ask why I refuse to see Sean Penn movies. I respond: "It is because I can't stand him."

In the spirit of things, I wanted to display this picture for all to see along with some quotes from a Herald Sun article, "Sean Penn's rescue bid sinks":

EFFORTS by Hollywood actor Sean Penn to aid New Orleans victims stranded by Hurricane Katrina [floundered] badly overnight, when the boat he was piloting to launch a rescue attempt sprang a leak....The actor, known for his political activism, was seen wearing what appeared to be a white flak jacket and frantically bailing water out of the sinking vessel with a red plastic cup....With the boat loaded with members of Penn's entourage, including a personal photographer, one bystander taunted the actor: "How are you going to get any people in that thing?" (end article excerpt).

Good try Mr. Penn. Noble effort aside, why the personal photographer? The fewer people you bring, the more you can take with you, right?
