Team America - World Police

RE*AC*TOR

New Trey Parker / Matt Stone vehicle, this time featuring puppets. Satire of right wing politicians / left wing hollywood actors etc etc.
Trailer here http://movies.apple.com/trailers/paramount/team_america/

Funniest trailer I've seen in a long time.
You can make out Sean Penn and Michael Moore in it. Apparently Penn isn't too happy though.


SEAN PENN RIPS 'TEAM AMERICA' CREATORS IN ANGRY MEMO

**Exclusive**

October 6, 2004

To Trey Parker and Matt Stone,

I remember a cordial hello when you guys were beginning to be famous guys around Hollywood at some party. I remember several times getting a few giggles out of your humor. I remember not being bothered as you traded on my name among others to appear witty, above it all, and likeable to your crowd. I never mind being of service, in satire and silliness.

I do mind when anybody who doesn't have a child, doesn't have a child at war, or isn't or won't be in harm's way themselves, is encouraging that there's "no shame in not voting" "if you don't know what you're talking about" (Mr. Stone) without mentioning the shame of not knowing what your talking about, and encouraging people to know. You guys are talented young guys but alas, primarily young guys. 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 throughout the world. The vote matters to them. No one's ignorance, indcluding a couple of hip cross-dressers, is an excuse.

All best, and a sincere **** you,

Sean Penn

P.S. Take this as a personal invitation from me to you (you can ask Dennis Miller along for the ride as well) to escort you on a trip, which I took last Christmas. We'll fly to Amman, Jordan and I'll ride with you in a (?) 12 hours through the Sunni Triangle into Fallujah and Baghdad and I'll show you around. When we return, make all the fun you want.

Matt Stone and Trey Parker are Republicans. I don't know about you, but I don't like giving my money to a pair of right-wing propagandists.

RE*AC*TOR

Actually Matt Stone is a known libertarian. They both appeared in Bowling For Columbine, I'd hardly call them staunch republicans in fairness...

:rolleyes: Somebody didn't watch the trailer then... If you did you'd know its bi-partisian in its satire, in that its taking the piss out of America's attitude, not any particular administration.
