#1 Mr. Penn, allow me to introduce you to one of those awful truths of life:

Actions, consequences. Actions, consequences.

#4 I know that these fools doing damage to the security of the nation that I call home (cause) should understand that if I can undermine their financial security by boycotting any and all products they appear in, advertise for, or recommend, I will gladly do so (effect). But then again, would anyone recognize a boycott of Madonna's "Swept Away" as a political statement or just good cinema judgement?

#5 Sean, Sean, Sean. It's not publicity that keeps a career afloat -- it's FAVORABLE publicity. Collaboration with the enemy doesn't fall into that category. Maybe you should have had a better agent, but it's probably too late now.

#7 How soon before the dreaded spectre of "McCarthyism " rears it's ugly head.....Sean, what did you expect? A victory parade when you got home? Idiot!

#8 Why doesn't a large group of Hollywood lefties move to France and help the French film system become first rate. That would really show the Americans wouldn't it. We'd miss Spicoli, Lou Grant and Alec Baldwin of course, but the message is the important thing.

#9 Snicker! The old saying, "there is no such thing as bad publicity" is only true when you aren't already a house-hold word. Once everyone who is going to like is already aware of you, then bad publicity can't bring you new fans - it only makes you lose ones you already have.

It's ok Sean - you're tough. You can get a great job as a laborer or a waiter. Stick to Hollywood though, you'll have a tough time with the tips in middle America. And of course, if things get really bad, there is always France.

Oh..this article brightened my day. :-)
