Department of Things You Already Knew: Sean Penn Is an Illiterate
— Ace

Meghan McCain is, by comparison, a much more fluid and accomplished author.

His worldview is odious and evil -- but so too is his grammar.

And also, his ability to properly choose between "illusion" and "allusion."

Indeed, the actor now also self-identifies as a writer. In his 2009 paean to Raul Castro and Hugo Chavez published on the Huffington Post, Penn begins with typical humility: “The disadvantages of being a writer, who is often written about, are numerous.” And another disadvantage is that, because you are often written about, certain editors allow you to write.

Reading Penn’s journalism is not unlike consuming a Castro speech: it’s unbearably long, always rambling and tedious, and frequently incoherent. Take this latest dispatch from Penn’s Huffington Post blog, where he coughs up this furball: “Ostreicher, whose innocence was maligned by an arrest where only vague illusions to money laundering have been shown to be fabricated by corrupt officials within the Bolivian judiciary, whose motivation has proven to be extortion.”

Or how about this stew of words, which is apparently related to the shootings in Newtown, Conn.: “This can, and is, being very easily exampled with newly invigorated discussions with attention on the recognition and treatment of mental health, and certainly that is a priority. And to be responsible to that priority, we too have to recognize its applicability to the mental health of our American community at large.”

But I'm told it all reads much better in the original Retardese.

207 I missed the section of the original article where that was mentioned. Was that "upthread" as well? I missed the section of your comment where you said "no one in the article" as opposed to "no one". Those are not the same things. But I will clarify and ask why the original article never mentioned lack of editing or proof reading? Could it be an attempt to sully the intelligence of Penn? Posted by: Mike Hunt at December 28, 2012 02:49 PM (G6kli) So I take it that accurately reproducing the words authored by Sean Penn is somehow sullying his intelligence rather than, say, Sean Penn's own writings doing that perfectly well on their own?

218 Dear Kind Sirs:


Please stop denigrating the good name of "Clown Colleges" by insinuating that Mr Penn attended one. As a member of the AAACCACU (the American Association of Associated Clown Colleges and Clown Universities), we have high standards that Mr Penn could never achieve. His lack of physical stature means that he would have great difficulty delivering a cream pie to another clown's face, and he would definitely be at risk for an injury by having to hold a seltzer bottle above his head to deliver a seltzer water shot down someone's pants.

Thank you very much for your attention to this matter. And as our late distinguished poet laureate of the College Mr Chuckles said, "a little song, a little dance, a little seltzer down your pants".

Thank You,

Dr. Giggly
Dean

280 The era of Max Perkins is long gone. What I don't understand is why these people like Penn, McCain, Streisand, etc., fork over a few bucks to hire an editor. They could even hire an English major for a few bucks. I suspect that they are so effin arrogant, they don't realize how horrible their writing really is.

If they proof their own shit first and apply standard Strunk and White rules, "writing malfunctions" like this are virtually eliminated.

I've had a number of things published in tech journals and manuals.  They were accepted and printed VERBATIM.  Of course, I reworked each one about 20 times and applied Strunk and White rules prior to submitting.  The tech writers and editors said they didn't need to change anything.
