Sean Parker was one of Nick Denton's favorite subjects back in the Valleywag days. e.g.:

This friend showed up with her boss for the meeting, and Parker was nowhere to be found. The receptionist said Parker hadn't been there all day, she didn't know where he was, and didn't know how to reach him, and suggested they wait. So wait they did — for nearly an hour, at which point a bedraggled looking Parker showed up wearing sunglasses and looking unwashed and somewhat slightly dazed.

Undaunted, they began the meeting, hoping to close the deal that day. Barely a few minutes into the meeting, Parker interrupted the AllPosters exec's presentation and said he couldn't concentrate, volunteering that the reason he couldn't concentrate was that he'd just woken up — he said he'd been up all night partying with some "friends" he had met out at a club. He then proudly took out his camera phone, called up some pictures of he and a friend in various states of undress with tawdry-looking topless girls, and asked "what do you think — pretty hot, huh?" as he slid the phone across the table to them.

It sounds like Sean Parker the character and Sean Parker the real person aren't entirely dissimilar, then.
