Sean Penn makes new friends.

Just kidding.  Visiting Latin America, he got the Brits very peevy with a lot of disparaging remarks about their occupation of the Falklands, which began in1833. 

The New Yorker reports on the responses; here's one from a British historian:

Sean Penn, he said, should give up the keys to his Malibu estate, which, he argued, actually belongs to Mexico.  "America's claim over Malibu is tenuous and rooted in patriarchy," he wrote, mimicking Penn's tone.  "Sean Penn's house is a mocking reminder of that brute chauvinism, with its high white walls and spacious interiors.  Its swimming pool is an insult to the honor of the Mexican people."

The babe, by the way, is Argentine Prez Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, a more age appropriate Scarlett Johansson, n'est pas?
