CHARLIE ROSE: UP IN SMOKE WITH SHAWN PENN

Real annoying to see that Charlie Rose of PBS Fame gave in to Sean Penn and allowed him to smoke like the proverbial chimney during his Friday show.

You could hardly see Penn's face behind the pall of cigarette smoke coming from Penn's hand or the ashes he kept dumping in a plastic looking cup...guess PBS doesn't have ashtrays anymore.

For someone who nearly died a year or so ago and had to have open heart surgery one wonders why Charlie Rose would allow anyone to smoke in his studio. I am sure both Charlie Rose and Sean Penn broke every no smoking rule that PBS ever put out.

Makes Charlie Rose and PBS look like hypocrites.
 
Really? I don't think I actually seen people smoking on an interview type show since at least on the Tonight Show back in the late 70s/early 80s.

I am sure he's greatful for your sincere concern for his health ::) It's his show, his health, he can do what he wants to. Besides, Penn is supporting that universal health care for children bill since the plan to pay for it is to up the tax on cigerettes. :D
 
I actually thought he was going to say weed!

Charlie's problems are genetic. Maybe he feels he has more serious pathologies than Penn's smoke?

Wow first people are offended whenever they smell cigarette smoke (even though I've never seen someone complain about the emissions of an automobile), but now people complain about even seeing the smoke on television? I think someone here needs to lighten up.

Then again, how strict are New York City's indoor smoking rules, if they have them? Are television studios included in the rules?
