IT'S a shame Trey Parker and Matt Stone's hot new puppet flick, "Team America: World Police," has already gone through its final cut - the flick that skewers self-important Hollywood stars could have used a Sean Penn cameo.
The "South Park" duo were howling with laughter Friday when they received an angry letter from Penn, who was deeply upset after Parker and Stone blasted Sean Combs for his "Vote or Die" campaign. Penn was especially infuriated after reading on PAGE SIX about Stone's theory that the U.S. might be better off, and might elect better leaders, if apathetic, uninformed voters stayed home on Election Day ....
A pal of Stone and Parker, upon reading the letter, laughed: "This is the most self-important, self-inflated letter ever! It's exactly what the movie ['Team America'] is about!" Penn's rep didn't return calls.
