sean’s happy place
March 28, 2006 – 12:36 am![]() |
Sean Penn revealed to the New Yorker that when he’s really angry he likes to abuse an Ann Coulter doll, and that he’s put some cigarette burns in some “funny places” on the doll.
Now if Sean were a teenager, this would be a disturbing story. Would you want your teen hanging out with kids who did stuff like that for kicks? On the other hand, teenagers do dumb things sometimes. They don’t always think things through before they pull a stunt.
But there is something grotesque about this kind of childish confession from a grown man. Without any discernable trace of shame he confides to the public that when he’s emotionally frustrated, he takes it out on a toy, a proxy for a woman.
If that isn’t impotence defined, I don’t know what is.
