Chattering Asses

Yet another piece of celebrity news from imdb land is sticking in my craw. Appearently Sean Penn is in some word feud with the makers of Team America. Whatever. But one of the Team America guys was busting on actor Penn for talking about the Nuclear Non-Proliferaton Treaty, as if it was the height of absurdity. Why is that anymore absurd than a guy who plays with poo and puppets talking about North Korea? I guess it's more absurd because one person is trying to be sincere and the other is safely entrenched in irony.

Yes, its a wacky society that pays more attention to what an entertainer has to say about some important issue than it does to researchers, front line aid workers, librarians or bus drivers.
