This Just In! Sean Penn Is An A**!

Here's a letter written by Sean Penn to South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone. It would seem the pseudointellectual Penn does not agree with the duos assertion that it's ok to not vote, especially when you are not clear on the issues. I agree with them, especially on this "Choose or Lose" mentality that the most important thing is to get people registered to vote when in fact it's most vital to educate yourself and vote based on principle. Above all else, it's your decision to make, not Sean "Anger Management" Penn's. If you'd prefer to let others that are more researched make the decision, so be it. Penn doesn't agree, as demonstrated in this letter to the comedy pair as posted on the Drudge Report:

October 6, 2004

To Trey Parker and Matt Stone,

I remember a cordial hello when you guys were beginning to be famous guys around Hollywood at some party. I remember several times getting a few giggles out of your humor. I remember not being bothered as you traded on my name among others to appear witty, above it all, and likeable to your crowd. I never mind being of service, in satire and silliness.

I do mind when anybody who doesn't have a child, doesn't have a child at war, or isn't or won't be in harm's way themselves, is encouraging that there's "no shame in not voting" "if you don't know what you're talking about" (Mr. Stone) without mentioning the shame of not knowing what your talking about, and encouraging people to know. You guys are talented young guys but alas, primarily young guys. It's all well to joke about me or whomever you choose. Not so well, to encourage irresponsibility that will ultimately lead to the disembowelment, mutilation, exploitation, and death of innocent people throughout the world. The vote matters to them. No one's ignorance, indcluding a couple of hip cross-dressers, is an excuse.

All best, and a sincere fuck you,

Sean Penn

P.S. Take this as a personal invitation from me to you (you can ask Dennis Miller along for the ride as well) to escort you on a trip, which I took last Christmas. We'll fly to Amman, Jordan and I'll ride with you in a (?) 12 hours through the Sunni Triangle into Fallujah and Baghdad and I'll show you around. When we return, make all the fun you want.

Hey Sean, you say one should encourage irresponsibility? Maybe you shouldn't have encouraged the irresponsibility of the Iraqi regime when you visited them before the war? Did you ever think it might be just as irresponsible to make a random decision in the voting booth just because one pampered celebrity scumbag thinks you should go to the polls?
