Cool or Lame: Sean Penn Reports from Iran

Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

I'm leaning toward Cool. I don't claim to be an expert on Sean Penn's politics but he seems to be somewhat genuine. Example, the Interpreter. While is is a movie, there was a very international UN focused theme in the movie. Apparently his and Nicole Kidman's politics played a role in obtaining the UN for filming. While he doesn't have 'professional experience' that will probably be more than compensated for by peoples' willingness to talk to a celebrity, passion, since this obviously doesn't pay as well as an acting gig, and the additional effort spent to make sure that a celebrity reporter doesn't look like an idiot.
