Sean Penn deserves a HERO tag for what he's done in Haiti. But not for this...

Sean Penn could do a lot of good rescuing children from bullies at schools, if the school didn't conclude that his reason for being there was to kidnap the children first.

"Stay out of it sparky" now becomes required comment anytime Penn saves someone/thing.

He saved over 10,000 lives in New Orleans after Katrina

It would have been funnier if the drunk guy had said "Stay out of this, Specoli."

I am certainly not a Sean Penn fanboy. I'm sure the 'rescue' meme is in response to Penn's actions following Katrina and Haiti earthquake. Our society idolizes celebrity, rather sports, politics, or Hollywood. I actually wish there were more stories like this in the media even if they were about Joe Six-Pack. How many of us would have been there on a date and looked the other way or pretended bar asshole was somehow not there? I'm not talking about walking over and slamming the drunk guy's head onto the bar ala Dirty Harry or Crocodile Dundee. I poured whiskey for a number of years in high volume bars in Florida, prior to ER career. Alcohol can turn some people into belligerent assholes. I say good job for stepping up to the plate and de-escalating a conflict.

_{Blessed are the cheesemakers. My 2 cents}

Alright, Sean!

Oh c'mon, he's not the first person to contribute nothing to society.

I had no idea he was one of those "Is there a problem over here?" guys.

Grandstanding and fake helping deserves a hero tag?

I don't care for Sean Penn or his acting, but anyone that can diffuse a hostile situation gets my respect.

Why Would I Read the Article: Grandstanding and fake helping deserves a hero tag?

Meh. The dude has millions and he chose to live in a tent in freakin' haiti rather than sit by the pool and bang strippers. I'm not giving him a Nobel or anything but I'm not gonna throw stones at someone who made a sincere effort either.

I kinda expected him to punch him.

Wasn't he featured in Bloom County a number of times as really angry and ... punchy?

TravisBickle62: He saved over 10,000 lives in New Orleans after Katrina

Tom Cruise saved over 100,000 lives after Katrina -- with his mind. Because of Scientology.

He is a true hero.

You'd be angry and punchy too, if some jack-off with a camera kept following you around on your time off.

/Not saying he should of punched him, BUT I UNDERSTAND!

I'm guessing subby was using the tag ironically.

This is truly the Greatest Generation. Those idiots that stormed Omaha Beach in the 40's have nothing, NOTHING, on Sean Penn.

Great American Hero or Greatest American Hero?

Seriously, both need to stfu and gtfo. Farking dunces.

Interesting factoid, Sean Penn is a huge gunnut. Not kidding.

It wasn't a sincere effort. He just went down there for the publicity. He was only in the tents long enough to get his picture taken, then it was right back to his luxury accommodations. Hell, he even brought his own photographers with him, just like he did during his Katrina "rescue" operation.

shivashakti: Sean Penn deserves a HERO tag for what he's done in Haiti. But not for this...

According to another thread, there hasn't been shiat done in Haiti.

Also didn't he used to get drunk and beat up photographers?

The Onion is prophetic: Never before has the HERO tag been even half as appropriate as this article. This man deserves a parade and a Congressional Medal of Honor for his selfless act.

/seriously though, how does the article writer not put a bullet in his head when he realizes that this is the kind of stuff he's reporting?

I used to occasionally get work writing shiat like that. What I do is basically zone out and after I run out of content, I free-write gibberish filler until I reach the word count. There is probably not one word that I say that I mean ("she looks absolutely HOT in that bikini!" "Uh, oh, he's in trouble now!")...making articles like these is closer to high-end SEO content spamming then actual writing. The mental labor you do is basically the same amount you would use to drive a car.

All those great roles and the guy remembers him as Sparky - that's gotta hurt.

HOW DARE YOU!! SEAN PENN IS BOX OFFICE GOLD!!!

the fanboy questionnaire/fark slags go here:


-what are you doing about it?
-do you live in New Orleans?
-are you Bob Geldof?
-are you Peaches Geldof?
-you obviously don't like people!
-just because you didn't star in Fast times doesn't mean you have the right to criticize Sean Penn
-THAT'S WHAT MADONNA SAID!

etc..


Penn is a coked out windbag and he looks like an old woman.
he'd go to the opening of an envelope...if the envelope was in an earthquake...or flood..

Yea, about that. My aunt was with USAID in Haiti during the relief efforts. She had numerous stories of how all they did was mess things up. Like him and his crew feeding injured people right before surgery and putting them at risk for complications.

But the cream of the crop was she said she watched one of Sean's friends take blood transfusions out of a refrigerator (which was running on a generator) and put in their bottled water. She said all they did was take pictures of themselves and get in the way.

What has he done except divert money from katrina?

Pussy.

DrippinBalls: Sean Penn a hero? I'm waiting for someone to shoot the worthless bastard. And he did what? Nothing.

Farked your girlfriend, did he?

We couldn't all afford to take a publicist and photographer to New Orleans.

Not that long a go they gave the Nobel for less

He broke the spine of Steve Dallas with just his forehead.

Seriously, from what I've seen, all Penn was doing in Katrina and Haiti was trying to HELP people and to film it so that people could see the depth of suffering these people are going through.

And yet people actually SLAM him for it. For making an actual EFFORT when he could have been lounging around snorting blow and banging Scarlett Johansson (and/or all her friends).

Wow.

When you have a boat that only seats 4, perhaps you should leave the camera crew behind.
