Sharon Stone's "karma" comment is having an instant effect on her movie-star status in China.

The 50-year-old actress suggested last week that the devastating May 12 earthquake in China could have been the result of bad karma over the government's treatment of Tibet.

How can you ban the showing of Sharon Stone films?  When was the last time such a film existed?

"And then this earthquake and all this stuff happened, and then I thought, is that karma? When you're not nice that the bad things happen to you?"

this may be the dumbest thing I have ever read on the internets.  what did the 70,000 chinese people that were tragically killed in the earthquake do wrong, exactly?  is karma just a really lousy marksman?

Talking about karma caused karma to become angry and bite Sharon Stone in the butt.

Heh, libs will blame China for this and defend Sharon Stone, but when a conservative minister (albeit a misguided one) says that AIDS is God's wrath, libs will try to shred him.

Was it Karma that caused Katrina?  New Orleans = high crime rate & overall perverse city + Ray Nagin
                                                 Biloxi = Casinos and gambling

Was it Karma that caused the Tsunami?  Thailand = Tourist spot for wealthy pedophiles

Was it Karma that causes the Quakes in California?  California = well, California

You know, I thought she was soooo hot in Basic Instinct.  Of course, I was 16 at the time.  Back then, I thought anyone mildly attractive that would show me her stuff was hot.  But at 32, she's just not hot at all anymore.  Funny how age skews perspective.
