Having exposed us to her vagina in movie Basic Instinct several years ago, actress, producer, and now apparently global welfare ambassador Sharon Stone is making headlines once again.
Speaking to an audience at the Cannes Film Festival, Stone bestowed us with the divine knowledge that the millions of earthquake victims in China are merely experiencing the effect of 'bad karma'. Never mind that earthquakes occur due to scientifically understood causes as tectonic shifts and such -- according to Stone, it is because of their evil acts toward Tibet, and her 'personal friend', the Dalai Lama, that these thousands of children, farmers and general bystanders have had to endure such terrible pain and suffering.
Naturally, Stone's blatant insensitivity and stupidity have cost her, and no residents of China, in their numeracy, will now be able to see her visage splashed across advertisements for Christian Dior. The company has, quite sensibly, discarded her from their campaigns in China. It is quite likely that her vagina will be censored from Basic Instinct in that country also.
Still, although stupid, at least of Sharon Stone one can say 'she spoke from the heart'. Clearly the freedom of Tibet is a great cause in her life, and her close friendship with the Dalai Lama has at least been given some form through her remarks. Something, dear readers, that can never be said about any of you, who trick innocents into an afterlife of terrible karma by making them read your pitiful, careless and insincere writings.
