Shortly before his wedding to Madonna in 1985, Sean Penn noticed paparazzi flying around his Malibu home in helicopters. He promptly walked down to the beach outside his home and scratched out a message in twenty-foot-tall letters: "F--- OFF!"

[Penn later fired a gun at the helicopters and told his guests, "I would have been very excited to see one of those helicopters burn and the bodies inside melt." Penn once told another photographer that if she didn't leave him alone he would fill a water pistol with his own urine and squirt her.]

[Among the nicknames bestowed upon the happy couple? "Poison Penns" and "S & M."]
