Stoned Karma
Have you seen Sharon Stone lately? Never mind, but I bet you’ve heard her. Okay, it needs to be said. Do we care what Sharon Stone said about China? Did it hurt you or me? Personally, you want to be an @$$ than have at it, open that mouth wide and insert big foot. Although it really wasn’t social commentary she was aiming for…she asked herself a question and shared it with the world…I wonder if she got an answer.
The whole trouble is we run to therapists who tell us it is okay to feel something, think something, try to act appropriately but not impose “the shoulds” on other people but yet we hear people telling us to suppress those feelings, don’t think for ourselves and act like everybody else and giving us the “shoulds.” All this PC is BS to me…that would be Painful Commentary in BigShoes…so don’t quote me as I don’t want to see my name on the front of my Comcast login tomorrow as the top news story.
Karma…did you hear the one about the Chinese cinema banning Sharon Stone?
People are way too quick to take offense these days. Perhaps she did say something that a) some other people are thinking, and b) perhaps hit a raw nerve in a culture that is superstitious, but it wasn’t exactly the most sensitive thing to say aloud given the amount of desvestation in a country where the people don’t control their government policy, and have so little to begin with.
Definitely true, but what gets me is the fact that she was actually asked what she thought by a reporter on the red carpet at Cannes. How about something more apropos, like a question about her career or future projects. So maybe we should be attacking dump reporter because he is the bigger @$$.
What Stone has said about China has been everywhere I look lately. I don’t care much either.
Ok verification code is messed up, But great post.
