Learning about Iran and having some food!

So much goodness on the 'nerd today:

The actor caused a stir when he attended Friday prayers last week and heard the “Death to America” chants. But on a visit to Iran's Film Museum in Tehran this week he told a student that those oft-heard chants hurt Iran-U.S. relations."I understand the nature of where it comes from and what its intention is," he said. "But I don't think it's productive because I think the message goes to the American people and it is interpreted very literally."

See, what the protesters are saying is "Hey! You know, we left this Iran place because it was bogus. So if we don't get some cool rules ourselves, pronto, we'll just be bogus too." Yeah?

Asked whether his idea about Iran had changed since arriving in the country, he said: "I hope my ideas are ever-changing."

Awesome! Totally awesome! Allright, Mr. Penn!

I can't fucking wait for his letter.
