Sean Penn Blasts Team America Creators

As we’re getting closer to the release of the largely anti-Bush film “Team America: World Police” (which personally I’m still not sure looks all that funny), creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone are getting unexpectedly blasted from another big anti-Bush guy… Sean Penn. No, Penn isn’t criticizing the new movie. The difference comes over remarks Parker and Stone made in a Rolling Stone interview where they suggested it’s ok to not vote in the upcoming elections. Penn (besides being one of the best actors alive today) is very politically involved and wrote to the South Park creators:

“You guys are talented young guys, but alas, primarily young guys,” Penn wrote in a letter to the South Park creators. “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 around the world.”

Personally, I basically agree with Penn’s position that voting is not just a right… it’s a responsibility. To not vote is to dishonor those that died so many years ago to give us this freedom. However, the remarks seemed a little harsh and over the top. I doubt this will start any sort of feud between Parker/Stone and Penn, but who knows with Parker and Stone.
