Seems he's got this gig reporting for the San Fran Chronicle that's being published in 5 installments.
So what was his 1st installment about? Essentially a post full of complaints. He wasn't allowed to smoke at the airport. Wah! Other Iranians were smoking! Wah! He and his 2 travelling companions had to wait for over 2 hrs while their documents were carefully reviewed. Wah!
In essence, he was treated like an ordinary hated american! Waaaaah!
Memo to Penn:
Re: Your treatment
That's what its like being an ordinary American travelling in the middle east. Had you been play/acting a journalist you would have done your research and would have known it. Unfortunately, your role as rebel jounalist doesn't play well in Iran or here!
Because he is a crappy actor, he believes the world revolves around him. C'mon wake up and smell the coffee... He should get special treatment. </sarcasm>
I hate celebrities, they should not be treated any differently from you and me. I really hate Sean Penn, for the attitude he has you would think he actually acted worth a damn. The only time I saw him act and liked it was in Fast Times at Ridgemont High.
