'Public Enemy of All Mankind' Sharon Stone Regrets Mixing Human Rights With Geology
Posted by Defamer Hollywood at 6:45 AM on May 30, 2008
Mere days after scientists assured her that "karma tectonics" was most certainly not responsible for the devastating May 12 earthquake that killed nearly 70,000 people in China, Sharon Stone revised her earlier geological lecture to include a direct apology to the Chinese people for suggesting as much in the first place. "Due to my inappropriate words and acts during the interview, I feel deeply sorry and sad about hurting Chinese people," Stone said in a statement released through Christian Dior, which is dropping the actress from its ads in China. "I am willing to take part in the relief work of China's earthquake, and wholly devote myself to helping affected Chinese people."
The comments came a day after China's official Xinhua News Agency named Stone the "public enemy of all mankind"; a government spokesman reacted to her apology with the "hope that as an actress she should contribute to our two peoples' mutual trust, understanding and friendship." And just like that, Basic Instinct 2 disappeared from every video store in Beijing. Apology accepted!

China allows women to wear makeup? I'd hate to be Dior's marketing manager in that territory.

Perhaps she and Rev. John Hagee can hang out and discus why New Orleans deserved that hurricane.

"Due to my inappropriate words and acts during the interview, I feel deeply sorry and sad about hurting Chinese people,"
I find it interesting that she's showing her incredible sorrow by, evidently, having her words translated into English from another language. Very meta.

"It is, therefore overturns to me lets you, China's people worry. Do not hate my very me the loss word. I implore you, Chinese."

"Ms. Stone, we're is almost ready for some more of your genius...would you mind waiting in the middle of the westbound 10 until then?"

I think Xinhua News is reacting to the same picture I saw last week of Ms. Stone exiting from a car commando style.

She should have blamed it on foot in mouth disease.

So... is she going to apologize to P. Puff Diddy Daddy for accusing him of smoking crack? He 'career' might really tank if she loses her crackhead fans along with the Chinese...

@Tiger_Tanaka: I'd pay for that, but only if none of the money went to Sharon Stone.

I have been striving for years to earn the most amazing honorific, "Public Enemy Of All Mankind", and Sharon Stone grabs it away from me just by being a babbling idiot. Curses!
PS - I'll settle for a t-shirt.
