This photo is circulating on FB:

Now using a bit of logic, you'll figure out that they're taking about slavery, and specifically sex slavery.

However, that message seems to be getting lost in translation for folks on FB. LOTS of backlash and confusion over the picture, not to mention the people making jokes. The comment thread on the photo I saw has turned into nothing but people fighting with one another.

The best comment I saw though:
Real men don't beat up their wives with baseball bats (Sean Penn), cheat on their wives (Ashton Kutcher) or let their co-workers take the fall based on sexist double-standards (Justin Timberlake). #SpokesmenFail


Meh on the criticism of Kutcher and Timberlake, but they've got a solid point about Penn.

Reading the sign, I thought it meant whores.

But I mean, does that sign make a damned bit of difference in the world? Really?

How many Nigerian thug lords are saying "Well, we could rape and enslave those girls, but Sean Penn doesn't seem to like that."
It's not me, it's someone else.

"Real men don't buy women. But they do rent whores occasionally."
IF you’re ever in L.A. looking for an introduction to a sexy prostitute or a high-class pimpstress, Sean Penn is your go-to guy.

Tom Sizemore says he became obssesed with his fiancee Heidi Fleiss when she first hit the papers as Hollywood’s number one madam. But all his efforts to meet the infamous flesh-peddler failed until his buddy Penn stepped in.

"Sean introduced me to her in ’91. Everybody knew what she was doing," Sizemore tells Chaunce Hayden in the new issue of Steppin’ Out magazine. "She had the best [talent] in the city."

Either the Sean Penn one is fake, or he expresses his opinion that way a lot. Have seen other phrases on his sign.

Two movie stars worked for her?

I like the theory that Denise Richards was one. That makes complete sense: Horrible actor, beautiful, dumb as a box of rocks, Sheen, etc.

No idea about the other. Although, didn't we have something posted here once about another sex ring where folks could purchase intimate time with certain existing stars (not the big names)? I thought Hayden Pantiere or however you spell it was rumored to be in that catalog for a while.

I'm sure it originally said "I love cock".
