Americans - a Public Service Film by Kid Rock & Sean Penn (NSFW)

YouTube description:

"Americans" is a short, public service film starring Sean Penn and Kid Rock, directed by Jameson Stafford. The goal of the film is to tear down the one-dimensional political stereotypes portrayed by the media by confronting them head on. It reminds us that what really matters is that we're all Americans, with diverse thoughts, opinions and stances on issues. We are millions of unique, individual parts, the sum of which comprise a whole that is the shining beacon of freedom throughout the world.

The film reminds us to be proud of our differences, and to never forget that we're all in this together as Americans.

Sean Penn, Kid Rock Star In Bizarre Political PSA Promoting Tolerance, Parodying Stereotypes

Sean Penn and Kid Rock hail from opposite ends of the political spectrum — but they came together in a new PSA to encourage you to be tolerant and unified, too.

Entitled “Americans,” the piece, which runs nearly 11 minutes, “to tear down the one-dimensional political stereotypes portrayed by the media by confronting them head on.” And, indeed, the video, laced with explicit language, is chock full of stereotypes — be it about gay marriage or PETA or gun rights.

“It reminds us that what really matters is that we’re all Americans, with diverse thoughts, opinions and stances on issues,” the video’s YouTube description reads. “We are millions of unique, individual parts, the sum of which comprise a whole that is the shining beacon of freedom throughout the world.”

The video starts out with the two getting into a confrontation at a bar, where Rock’s “Born Free” performance at a Romney event is playing on the television. After many an insult, the two come together, hug it out.

I am his bookkeeper..and I told him his bookkeepers should be democrats and his salespeople should be republicans..and he thought that was hilarious...

Although the extreme republicans are unhinged..the majority of American republicans are regular people...sans the teaparty
