Train Wrecks
"Sorry" Stone Still Gets Screwed

Sharon StoneSharon Stone finally apologized for calling China's earthquake -- the one that killed nearly 70,000 people -- "karma," but she still got dropped by another company for shooting off her big mouth.

Christian Dior said that it's ripping her face off its Chinese ads, just a day after the country's biggest movie theater chain banned her flicks from its screens. Dior says it will "immediately cancel and stop any advertisements" with Stone in them. Earlier, Stone boo-hooed: "My erroneous words and deeds angered and saddened the Chinese people, and I sincerely apologize for this."

How do you say persona non grata in Mandarin?

33. I've heard a lot of people say that Sharon Stone should not have made the comment about China's bad karma, but I havent; heard anyone say she was not correct.

35. Typical braindead dumbass from Hollywood. Like most moronic actors, she thinks that because she gets parts in movies, this gives her a license to speak publically about issues, without using any brain cells. What these hollywood types should do is just act & shut their mouths about other issues they haven't thought about, instead of trying to out do each other to see who's more politically correct. Bigmouth dumbass sharon stone is finding this out now, and it's about time it happened.

36. While her comment was in bad taste, come on. I had the same thoughts pass through my mind when I saw all the buildings that had colasped. China sends there substandard products and building material to this country (and who knows what other countries), so why is it a surprise that they themselves wouldn't use them to save money. China gets upset whenever the United States questions them and have the nerve to want an apology, Did I miss something where China said sorry for the tainted food (human and animal) or about the substandard building materials, or better yet the tainted toys they made for children.

How about they lay off Sharon Stone and apologize to their own people for the mess their government has put them in by using substandard materials. And why does the United States even do business with this communist country, they should be "off limits" to us like Cuba. Look at how they treated that aircraft that had to make an emergency landing there a few years ago.

While again I feel terrible for the people that were injured and my heart grieves for those who lost someone and most cases their only child, China needs to take responsibity for what they have done to their own people including the monks. If only they could speake out against their government like the way we the people of the United States did when our government mistreated the people that were victims of hurricane Katrina. But they can't now can they unless they want to put in prison or murdered by their governments communist ways.

I have no problem with Sharon Stone giving her opinion on China or Tibet. What I have a problem with is her "apology". Did she believe what she said? if she did she has nothing to apologize for. My point is that she has no principles because she wouldn't stand behind her words when faced with the consequences. If the consequences were here because sh said something about our government she would scream censorship. Since it's China she just says: 'what opinion. I don't have no stinkin' opinion. Give me the money." Again, I say she is a total fraud with no principles.

38. oh people STFU! Who cares, it's her opinion, it's not like she's our idiot president who says and does stupid things EVERYDAY and thousands die as a result but you people do or say nothing about it. Get your priorities checked.

Seems like you have the intelligence of a gnat. It really says a lot about your intelligence that you can't get through one sentence without using foul language.

I'll bet if you had to speak without cussing that you'd be left with completely unintelligible sentences, punctuated by a lot of 'um' noises.

Boy are you dumb!

41. 26. Isn't it funny how American Celebs bad mouth the USA, put down old Glory, trash our soldiers and our President......and never apologize!!! The country that gives them the freedom speech to say anything, do anything, and become wealthy is allowed to be spit on!

When she trashes a facist govt like China, she gets on hers knees and begs forgiveness. What she said was stupid, but China is a commumist dictatorship that would lock you up and throw away the key if you cross them.

I miss the movie stars of old like Jimmy Stewart, John Wayne......who were proud to be an American.......and made me proud to be one too!!!!

42. How do you say persona non grata in Mandarin?

Chinese Madarin: 不 受 欢 迎 的 人 (bu shou huan ying de ren)
不 ( bu ) : NOT
受欢迎的 ( shou huan ying de ) : WELCOME
人 ( ren ) : PEOPLE, PERSON

43. a former drunk falls off the wagon. I predict that if this doesn't blow over soon, the only way she'll be able to redeem herself is to go to rehab..

44. I still can't believe she said that!!That was so bad karms is a bitch!!!!

45. It's one thing to criticize the policies of the Chinese government. It's another thing to demean and trivialize the deaths of over 80,000 innocent people.
