Sean Penn's El Chapo Rolling Stone article mocked online

Sean Penn's long and often rambling Rolling Stone essay based on his interview with Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman which included comments from Guzman on everything from his childhood to his thoughts on the drug trade has beenwidely mocked on social media.

• How drug lord El Chapo met up with Sean Penn, Kate del Castillo
• El Chapo met with Sean Penn while on the run from authorities: Rolling Stone
• Joaquin(ElChapo)Guzman, fugitive drug lord, captured in Mexico

Guzmanmet withPenn and Mexican actress Kate del Castilloin his hideout in Mexico months before his recapture by Mexican marines in his home state of Sinaloa, according to Rolling Stone. The magazinepublished Penn's article on Saturday, the day after El Chapo was recaptured.

The whole affair raised many questions, as well as eyebrows.

Many online were unimpressed, but had fun with it.

Others, like actor Mark Ruffalo, came to Penn's defence.

But, he was overshadowed by the jokes....

...Even the often austere New Yorker chimed in with a mocking tweet.

However, some of the more serious criticspointed to what they saw as an unethical story.
